This bike looks terrible.
Looks like an ugly bike
Mountainbiker here, isnt it normal to sell the bikes without pedals? Its a usual thing with Mountainbikes. I completely get the rest of your point tho, was just curios about the pedal part.
It's the Australian pursuit team bike for Paris, available for 60,000 until after the Olympics then price will be approx 6000 for the frame fork
It’s a track bike so cog/chainring are usually sold separately…
Imagine ordering 5 bines just for fun and pissing companys off 👀
Road bikes are always bizarre to me like a glorified hardtail that cost more than a top of the line full suspension ebike… Like bruh who tf buys these
What a stupid rule…
Is that a real bike it looks fake to me
like some rally classes, it should be based on a certain amount of sales not just absurdly priced bike available to buy
They should just specify one standard bike design, and all teams should be obligated to use it. We want to see who the best athlete is, not the best bike designer. As they do in Keiren racing in Japan.
Could you please explain, why German FES bikes are allowed, even though they are not commercially available…
60k for parts and repair 😂😂😵🚴
Fraud
hate uci⬇️
They dont wanoo😂
Hey but it’s probably like a singular pound
Woah, UCI needs to make the rules more like WSBK motorcycle homologation.
“Manufacturers wishing to race a particular motorcycle must have sold 250 bikes by the end of their first year of racing in WSBK, and 1,000 bikes by the end of the second year, half the requirements previously on the books.”
Good thing the olympic boxing rules are a lot more slack 😂
It’s funny that homologated ralley cars from the 1980s had stricter rules, the were required to create at least 500 cars for sale to the public’s so they couldn’t just make the most bonkers budget no object cars. The Olympics, eh just make it available for sale, that’s enough.
$60,000 for that crap? 🤦🏻♀️
It’s not that they don’t want to sell it, it’s that for $60,000 they don’t think they will
So cycling has homologation rules just like some motorsports? Ha, I love it!
There should be homologation rules requiring them to sell at least X units, e.g. X = 200. To prevent blatant "breach of the spirit of the rules" stuff like this.
These bikes are a waste. Time trial / triathlon bikes are an engineering dead end. The companies put all the money into these models and the USA still cant get cargo bike from the big companies. I don’t get why people get away with this.
Why not add a dollar and make it an nice round $60k lol
I wonder is it possible for Canyon to make a frame that repeats the curvature of the rear wheel in a better way?
What a joke!!!!!!!!!! i could buy 2 DUCATI 1200cc V4 motorcycles for that price. The bicycle industry is just a plain joke right now plain and simple that anyone in there right mind would pay such a price is a clown.
Участвовать в гонках на одинаковых велосипедах, вот как должно быть. А не это ваше у меня специализед, а у меня твиттер.
Balls to the walls speed
I'll tell you what's off the charts is the 59000 US dollar price. I'm addicted to riding my bikes I own five. I own a 1996 trek road bike, 1983 Schwinn bike old vintage road bike in two mountain bikes. I ride my bike around town every day to buy stuff and have fun to go into town I'm addicted
I would buy the bastsrd out of spite, make an ad hoc deraileur hanger out of scrap aluminium then ride it to work
The bike made for Australian pursuit team price was kept at 60,000$ until after paris Olympics
60000 just to pedal round an arena as fast as you can. thats why mtb is the best type of cycling
Awful bicycle
You're telling me the UCI has a completely frivolous rule on the books that teams easily circumvent?
Nah, couldn't be.
