The Best New Aero Bikes & Tech From Eurobike 2016

[@PROcrastiDRIVESVofficial]

Thank you for these amazing videos GCN, I'm drooling over these bikes. The Italians... they just get it.

[@piotrklin3964]

Worth mentioning the CdA measurement system on the Argon (probe sticking out of the head tube).

[@GeorgNikodym]

And here I thought it was a pitot tube (airspeed sensor) for when it goes airborne :D

[@piotrklin3964]

It is a pitot but also a part of a CdA measurement system with proximity sensors and all sorts of fancy stuff

[@DavidWard14]

Oh so not a jousting stick?

[@eamon1648]

what exactly does it do? i was disappointed when he didnt explain

[@JustAnotherDayToday]

If you've ever seen a Colnago C60 in the flesh it is just lustfully gorgeous. Video and pictures don't nearly do it justice.

[@TheVic361]

Hi guys ! I really enjoy your videos ! :) Sincerly from France ;) Keep going you're doing a fantastic job :)

[@bobcr]

Taking a level into another level... Well, that's some levelling up

[@vinnyjhawer7847]

Integrated brakes within the frame, great idea 💡 👍. Hopefully they roll that out soon.

[@andrewr8364]

so cool, great stuff as always, love your channel!!

[@dom7215]

The Argon 18 Prototyp is really cool !!!

[@tudking2489]

big fan

[@CharlieBennici]

I see what you did th(air)

[@binka9066]

oh god

[@mynaamiskaas]

LOL

[@luislemusda]

"taking the level" to another level... that's something..

[@sergarlantyrell7847]

With all of these aero disk breaks, I'd be worried about cooling as you won't be getting the airflow around the calipers.

[@ethansloss6854]

It's not so much of a concern on a tt bike but it would be a problem on a road bike.

[@MattDion]

Isn't the heat dissipation mostly off the disk, and not the pads? I don't know too much about them on bikes, but I thought that's why high performance auto rotors are drilled, to improve rotor cooling and reduce brake fade.

[@sergarlantyrell7847]

Matt Dion You'll get heat build up on both surfaces. I think the build up in the disks more directly impacts break performance. But I would be concerned about long term wear on the pads/calipers side when decending. After all, if you look at the higher end break calipers they have what seems to be cooling fins on them.

[@billylloyd3610]

Huge fan, love you guys

[@memimatumama]

Hello, GCN! Recently I changed my Hybrid Carpe Orbea, into more of a Road Bike. I replaced the MTB Handlebar, Shift (Acera) and Brake-Levers for a Road Handlebar and Road Levers (Claris). When I got to the brakes, I found out the bike wouldn't take Caliper Brakes, so I had to stay with V-Brakes. The cable-pull wasn't enough, and when I was about to collapse out of desperation, I found a Hack named "Travel Agent" (produced by Park Tools, Problem Solvers, etc.). This succesfully completed the operation fixing the pull issue. Now I am a happy man, closer to having a Road Bike (for the city). I think this could be interesting for some of your viewers that, as I, have taken an interest on road bikes, but may have purchased something different...

[@RevoltingRudi]

i did that kind off with a conway cs 580 speed. it was more of a cross bike/mtb with internal gears in the rearhub (alfine SG-50, 8gears) and v-brakes. i put on a flatbar, changed spacers to get it lower. put on aerorims and 28mm conti gp 4000. i also liked it with 35mm Kojaks. i used it heavy for comuting in the city and also raced with it the amateur cyclassics in Hamburg 2 times. (55k, 100k) it weights ~12kg. on flat stages it is almost as fast as my real semi-aero-roadbike. but on climbs... well thats another story. but even on climbs you can get up the hill. the most important thing on a bike is the engine (the driver).

[@cup_and_cone]

KTM bicycles used to be really cheap, rebranded supplier frames for bottom basement mail-order companies. In the last couple years they've repositioned themselves to get taken more seriously. I hope they do succeed.

[@TheWaxChainFanClub]

Gold on black is always a winner.

[@jumbolaw]

Did you pull that music for the Colnago unveiling from a late night Cinemax movie?

[@alexandersteele6874]

The brakes don't work... but still cool. 😂

[@earthstick]

I'm liking the developments around disc brakes now. I am going to give it a few more years then I might have a second try with them. The first was a disaster.

[@fevesvfr]

Is that a Pitot tube on that last bike? (4'50"). Is it so fast that it might take off?

[@trtjr22]

That Argon 18 looks like the Starship Enterprize

[@MakoBeauty]

can you do a segment on triathlon bikes?

[@ClarkyXPH]

What's the pointy bit at the front of the FWD a?

[@petetube99]

Those bikes with the cables and hoses routed through the bars, through the stem and then through the frame will be fun to work on. The resulting 00000.001% increase in 'speed' seems like poor return. Then again we're fast approaching the point where people will just throw their bikes away when they gears need adjusting.

[@Michaelsmith21588]

No everyone will have wireless sets in a few years ;)

[@DavidWard14]

Is that a jousting stick at 4:47?

[@mavericknz3317]

Nah mate, ya must have been dreamin'...

[@Drt0Kkdo]

looking at that ktm aero feels like looking at an RC8R

[@palmer3977]

That KTM bike, WOW.

[@oofchan6889]

i need this like rn

[@gregorydeemer2108]

Cool to see what I can afford in 2022!

[@wodstalker2819]

4:47 what is that weird kind of shrader valve on the steering tube ?

[@brandontw01]

I wouldn't know(sorry), but I'd guess that the disc brakes are hydraulic, And are calibrated by that stem.

[@wodstalker2819]

What do you mean by calibrated ?

[@brandontw01]

I mean that it could be used to adjust the pressure of the fluid in the brakes.

[@wodstalker2819]

Brandon Wiker By adding air ? hydrolic brakes have to be air-free ! You basically have a reservoir where you add fluid, and then you dont change anything untill you need to bleed it...

[@brandontw01]

After looking around for a bit, the best Idea I can think of is a pitot tube.

[@PROcrastiDRIVESVofficial]

Basso Diamante SV. As in SuperVeloce. As in Lamborghini Miura, Diablo, Murcielago and Aventador SuperVeloce. That bike better live up to the name.

[@kjakur]

Bit ironic how the Basso bike has the new Dura Ace and not FSA WE? :P

[@jendasirl]

What is that strange black thing that looks like a pipette on FWD α above front fork? (at 4:47)

[@MrXcatalinX]

Is that a pitot tube?

[@jaredfontaine2002]

I hope brake calipers work in the futurelolo

[@Velo1010]

A KZbin poster mentioned why road bikes should use disk brakes because it's not difficult to stop the sub 15 lbs bikes. Don't forget the bike is also being ridden by a 140+ lbs rider. And disk brakes far outperform rim brakes. But good thought.

[@Redbanano]

Guys, please help. Im going to get a new bike and im not shure witch one of the Giant TCR composite 2 or the Lapierre Sensium 200 to get. Any suggestions?

[@geryon]

Lapierre Sensium is an endurance bike and Giant TCR is a race bike so the geometries are somewhat different. Endurance bikes are slightly more upright and comfortable but you pay for it with a slightly less aerodynamic riding position. I think GCN has videos on the differences. Buy the type of bike that is most suitable for the kind of riding you want to do.

[@thegreenbikerider6189]

Giant

[@jarnoverheij4219]

Do you want to look like a baguette? No? Get the Giant then

[@Redbanano]

Jarno Verheij So if i am going to have an enormous baguette in my bottle cage, i should get the Lapierre? Yeah, i think im going for the giant, thanks for the help guys

[@jarnoverheij4219]

Pyro B3ar if you do end up with the Lapierre with baguette, please send a photo

[@DEISE01able]

Would this bike fit me? I'm 4"10.

[@porsche45353]

can u pleas show os the cervelos

[@p0tato_istrueroblox753]

hey gcn

[@Phaidrus]

Si-fi!

[@lobo241us]

Colnago!

[@fireline122]

dammm that Colnago tho....

[@brendor5633]

That was mad

[@Toastybear1]

oh wow...!

[@juni5352]

Is it just me that that I think the C60 is still the nicest bike in this video?

[@Drag0ncl0ud]

That reinforced toptube if for all those people copying Froome down a hill.

[@bbglas007]

Holey shit, the Argon 18 alpha bike has a coefficient of drag sensor/circuit built in designed to sync with your power meter to give you feedback on how aero you are. It ALSO HAS ROLL/PITCH/YAW sensors built in to give you a recording of your ride later i guess? so much data, HOLEY FUCK thats awesome

[@marslumagod4373]

I hope GCN wil give me a road bike on my birthday 😓

[@xpikabuch3zx]

I thought it was Linus in the thumbnail, lol.

[@perwiratempur]

3 and a half of centimeters?

[@ralphsanchez9656]

Is it just me or is Si wearing more and more jeggings these days.

[@Orgakoyd]

Built in the far east by Giant no less.

[@seriouslyreally5413]

so if Sagan or Froomie rode on that reinforced top tube on the descents they would be breaking the sound barrier they were so aero... novel concept...novel concept indeed.

[@Pienimusta]

Bassoradion oma pyörä?

[@LRGHMN]

A bike that's not rideable is like a beer that's not drinkable .....

[@keasone]

that Parlee... Hell nah!

[@joeyv.7360]

That Parlee is hideous. Send it back to the 90's, please.

[@matteodibiase2875]

you know DART bikes ?

[@vladthebikeguy4763]

Really not cool watching how a carbon frame could flex like that :)) Carbon snaps ... Not good for high mileage

[@ErwinMeulman]

GCS know a lot of bikes, but computer CPU, video compression are not there expertise. Please 25fps, my 1/2 year old chromebook has 100% cpu, i get dropped frames in full screen!

[@SmevMev]

If you're having trouble viewing at 50fps, you can turn the resolution down to 480p, which will force the video into 25fps. Hardly idea, particularly in full screen, but if it's your only option... I really like video in 50/60fps though, but then again, I'm using Chrome on a PC where it's not a problem

[@chiu20044b122]

I think you can get plugin/extentions at the chrome appstore to force youtube to play hd videos at 24fps

[@Your_Paramour]

It isn't KZbin's fault you're watching this on a potato. Also KZbin re-encodes uploaded videos so your complaint is both invalid and unfair.

[@JanKowalski-pe9lo]

Is it only me or all that bikes lost the soul of bike you could fall in love? Personally think that all showed look ugly and i dont even think about owning one. Prefer my Colnago C50, Supersix and Sabbath.

[@fatbikefreak5962]

Not enough Fat Bikes...

[@lauraswanson4806]

Nothing.

[@profan123]

and again, they are overpriced as hell

[@kampango789]

This is bicycle porn

[@fencer39]

So why are they not used in the world championships or olympics? Because they are pretty much useless gimmicks?

[@FrankB69]

piss of this disc brakes on road bike

[@RolandoWitherington-pv2fm]

I've been riding this bike for about a month kzbin.infoUgkxwC0IIeIomGQVeBWg-kKJaToZkLEFIA2W and a half now and I think it's fantastic. It helps me get to work on time every day since I'm able to fit it inside of public transportation rush hour. The price is great too, people are always shocked when they ask me how much I paid for the fold up and I tell them "200". It's easy to fold and installation when it ships is insanely easy. All you have to install when the bike arrives is one foot pedal, everything else is done for you. I do recommend you carry some sort of wrench to tighten any loose screws on the handle bar and seat whenever they get a little bit loose. Other than that I think it's a fantastic bike. Easily fits in the home, can fit inside a car trunk and can even fit in subway rush hour.

[@matteodibiase2875]

you know DART bikes ?
