Even more excited about seeing Campagnolo again in TdF ❤ Really love their mechanical shifters. From my standpoint it was miles ahead of Shimano even the cheapest one (at lest after 2005)

Would be nice to learn more about those flared fork “shoulders.”

Pretty sure I've seen those on some of the high end track bikes. Probably some way to deal with the airflow around the moving legs/chaining area.
Bike is 🔥
In an effort to stay under their F1 budget cap, Red Bull is farming out engineers to build bikes. Now if the frame had Adrian Newey's autograph , that would be special.
Beautiful bike ❤
Pressed the wrong brake lever again 😅

shows video of the super wide front fork, doesnt mention it at all.......odd
nice bike, too bad we are not gonna see it much this tdf.
Anybody wanna tell Si that "TM" stands for "Trade Mark"? 🙂
Did he say “wrap”
Didn’t Ben Oconnor spend minuets on the side of the road with derailleur issues ?
Odd that they are sponsored by both Pirelli and Campagnolo. I only say that because the BORA ULTRA WTO wheels are optimized for 25 mil wide tires (American), but Pirelli don’t make the PZero Races in 25 mil. The smallest they make is 26. Why not have Pirelli make a custom set of tires? Or go with a different brand and black out the logos?
@bradrogers2427
Жыл бұрын
Pirelli and Specialized both sell 26c tires instead of 25c but realistically I think they're the same thing as 25c tires, it's just a nomenclature thing. Most 25c tires will measure 26 on rims in the real world.
Who cares about freehub sound? Means absolutely nothing.
Sticking to BB86 for a MY24 bike…yikes.
i want this bike, but knowing bmc, id probably have to buy another whole separate bar/stem combo to get the fit i want. I hate bikes that come with stock cockpits and assume everyone has the same fit.

BMC have 3 cockpits available, all with different bar widths. Cant put on any bar/stem combo you want, but you can get a good fit.

@@vivienrajz798 I still have 10s Campy on a few bikes. I love it.
I really see nothing special or new besides a super-slick marketing partnership with F1. I'm a BMC fan and ride one but the paint scheme looks like the grafitti on the side of a subway. This bike will, however, come with a very special price I'm quite sure. Will be interesting to see how things progress as the easy money times of Pandemic stimuli wane.
Not sure what the point of this video is. BMC have been slow releasing this bike for so long now, nothing new is added here. Why not wait until it's actually released, so we can be told how much lighter, stiffer, more compliant, more aero and more exspensive it is than the last one?
So did BMC collab with red bull to create this bike for Ben or is it just for marketing or both? Looks cool.
11-32 you say? I feel all "pro" suddenly 😂
Not allowed to weigh prototype bikes 🤔
Bikes are good but its all about the rider. I have to lose 37 KG to be as fit as Wout Van Aert. 😭
For a supposed ‘aeroish’ bike, I guess the gap between downtube and front wheel should be much narrower.
Eh, forced enthusiasm.
Not much new here really
Graphics kill it. Hot mess. Are they trying to camouflage the shape or what?
Don't want to be negative here but unless this bike gives Ben wings on his ankles he will.never catch up to the top GC. As they say it's all about the Legs!

The paint job is boring with an ugly looking group set attached to it. This is TDF not Cretérium du Dauphiné! Take a page from Lidel Trek Madone paint job.

Sound Check: sound of silence . . . by all standards . . . boring!
Same garbage out of spec press fit bottom bracket? 🙂
I love how the GCN propagandist at 0:49 first says," ... there are some really distinctive and novel ideas on here" (of course without naming any of them) and then in the very same sentence he follows that by saying, "but, as I say we don't know anything"! My goodness, who is dumb enough to actually believe or buy into the repetitive nonsensical bullshat spouted by this channel? LOL :-)
