The Fastest Bike In The World | Filippo Ganna's Pinarello Bolide Time Trial Bike

This is officially the fastest bike in the world. As the world time trial champion, Filippo Ganna is riding this absolutely stunning chrome blue Pinarello Bolide. No stone has been left unturned in the quest to save every watt possible and ensure Ganna is as slippery through the air as he can be. Blink and you'll miss it - which would be a shame, because it's one of the best looking bikes we've ever seen!

It's amazing how in this day of marginal gains , when someone spins the rear wheel on a lot of top level disc wheels U can see them oscillating up and down slightly because they are out of balance , must be able to get them Smoother for a few seconds gain !?!?!

[@davidcharnes9161]

I don’t know if the wheel bring slightly out of balance would make any difference when ridden. You would need to balance the wheel with weights, like a car wheel, to get a better balanced wheel. I suspect that they don’t do this because it makes no difference.

[@markblack8407]

I agree that there are gains to be had here. Just look at it lurch about. You wouldn't intentionally unbalance your wheel so why not balance it. It is likely to take less than 20g per wheel. At the speeds he rides, there must be an impact on performance, especially with bike handling.

I love these bike reviews. I’m always interested in what is new. I missed my chance to attend the Sea Otter Classic where there are a lot new bike parts introduced so your videos fill that gap. Pinarello makes beautiful bikes no doubt. This bike is both an artistic & a technical beauty. I think I’d blow out my knees trying to turn a 58 tooth chain ring. Yikes!

[@OFFSHOREDOUG]

Not sure if they correct. He certainly doesn’t use an unusually small frame in his road bike. Def questionable. .

[@TheUsername1302]

I don’t know if it’s still the case but 55 cm used to be the largest size available for the bolide

[@kyle_c936]

With the TT bike you have to add on the length of the aero bars, to where the grips are, compared to the hoods on a road race bike. It's a bit like the equivalent virtual top tube length to a 56cm drop bar road bike frame for a flat bar hybrid is about 62cm, because of where the grips are on the hybrid relative to the hoods on a road bike (and even then there's always going to be a longer reach to the hoods). The other difference with the TT bike is how steep the seat tube is and how far forward the saddle is mounted on the seat post - I suppose it's just all completely different sizing.

[@popi110botka]

@@OFFSHOREDOUG body position on a TT bike is hugely different then on a road bike and also you use different muscles for more power on those 2 bikes.

[@chanito_nyc]

58/46 mamma mia!!!

[@sandydennylives1392]

Not really, it's not a mountain tt bike. The low gear of 46X30 is the same as 42x26 which was low for pro's in the '70's/'80's, on steel bikes which were over 10kg in the main with not aero advantage, on a high mountain stage. And again it's the same as 53X25 which is a normal high gear for pro's on rolling stages. I doubt he'd be on 58X12 unless the road was pan flat with a tailwind or no wind or a downhill section or slight depression.

[@tombladon8064]

Strange that they still run 2x? I can’t think of a tt he has won where he would have needed the small ring.

[@gcnracing]

I think it's to do with being able to use a regular rear mech without a clutch - which is a bit more efficient. It also allows for a more optimum chainline, again for a little bit more efficiency! (I'm sure it's something they've put hours and hours of research into!)

[@kaiba507]

We now have carbon technology to make a TRUE aero bike with fairings built in to wrap air around a riders body...and with these fairings it will not weigh more than a race bike used in the 1980's.
