If we only bring for six months and seem to have reached a consensus, it is a car you may need. This is not to say that there is no longer a dedicated aviation or climbing model, but to merge the two bicycles into one, which has received a lot of support.
The results proved that some of the WorldTour teams are riding a bicycle for all racing, lawyers’ time race. Think about the specialized asphalt gravel SL8, just like its predecessor SL7, it makes the American brand Aero Machine (Venge) outdated. Or Trek’s latest Madone uses the development project in framework technology, but it still maintains efficiency in aerodynamics, so that its lightweight émonda is reduced.
However, even if the bicycle industry is not a fluid, there is nothing, just like some parts of the weather. If you persist for a second, it is likely to change. This is the case for aviation racing.
The latest aviation bicycles include NOAH, a thorough update of Ridley.

In just a few weeks, we saw the release of three famous aviation bicycles. All these bicycles will play at the highest level this year -Colnago Y1RS, Van Rysel RCR -F and Ridley Noah Fast.
When you consider that COLNAGO has not had no aviation bicycles in its lineup for many years, the first two were particularly interested, and the UAE team rode glory on VR4, while the AGR2 team used Van RySel RCR as an independent AGR2 team. Throughout 2024, every day bicycle. These new addresses are according to the requirements of the driver, or the two brands believe that the lack of aviation bicycles is the gap that needs to be filled?
The change of the UCI ruling makes it similar to such a tube.

“Since 2016, we have not owned aviation bicycles within our scope, because so far, we have not found huge effects on bicycles like V4RS,” said Davide Fumagalli, the person in charge of COLNAGO R & D.
So what happened? Expert rules.

He said: “With the changes in the UCI rules, we realize that we have the opportunity to create a better bicycle.”
The “3: 1” ratio of the previously required tube shape and component (e.g. strip and stems) does not exceed three times the width of its width. It was replaced by the lowest and maximum 10mm and 80mm in 2023. Therefore, if the top or lower tube is 1 cm thick, it can reach 8 cm deep.
Today’s aviation bicycles are usually designed with special cockpits.

This change allows designers to experiment with a more streamlined shape than before, which is obvious in CC. The Y1 cockpit is designed with Y1RS. Deep, the top of the aviation is part of the gull wing shape, which makes the forehead form a small frontal lobe area. Colnago said that this allows effective airflow around the bicycle.
Then, there is a rule change, which is now allowed to place the seat tube anywhere. Fumagali said that this enables them to make Y1RS more tolerant than the old aviation bicycles, but it will not damage the horizontal or twisted stiffness of the frame.
The unconventional design of Y1RS seat tube aims to increase comfort without having to sacrifice stiffness.

He added: “Place the pillars in our airflow to provide more space for the air flow, so that the bicycle is restarted.”
The RCR-F of Van Rysel is closer because the official release date may be April. However, from the bicycle we have seen, it seems to be changing the rules. It has an appropriate and narrow oil pipe, the most obvious is the head and under the tube, as well as a completely integrated cockpit.
The UNO-X professional team will play in the new Noah Fast in 2025.

NOAH FAST’s NOAH FAST of Ridley will play this year’s UNO-X team, which reduces more extreme outlines. The head tube is large and elongated, while the seat tube angle is located at 76 degrees. This is another product that changes the rules that take effect on January 1. The idea here is that the steep angle rod will enable the riders to use lower air dynamics. It is not surprising that it is designed by a set of dedicated traps, which is completely integrated and shape again to reduce the frontal lobe area.
Noah Fast’s steep angle seat aims to help riders find more air dynamic positions on bicycles.

These examples are unlikely to be the last one, which not only means greater options, not only for the rider of professional courtyards, but also for you and consumers. So, should you buy aviation bicycles?
There are no correct answers here. Of course, choice is yours. However, it is worth considering that aviation bicycles are designed as tools used by better racers. Colnago Y1RS is a good example. In view of the comments of Davide Fumagali on the design opportunities for the changes in UCI regulations for the UCI regulations for the UCI regulations, bicycles are likely to be realized without the urging of the UAE team. However, letting Tadejpogačar and crew demand “fast sprint”, which will not damage its trajectory from conceptual to reality. As a result, this is a few people’s bicycles, not the masses.
Fumagali said: “Honestly, I think this is the best bicycle for most amateur riders, but we cannot stop customers from buying some bicycles.” “We do what we do when working on this bicycle . Therefore, it is perfect for high -end amateur riders and above.
Is it a better choice for most drivers who want to professional racing bicycles like Tarmac SL8?

Therefore, if you participate in the competition regularly, especially on the flat or rolling terrain, then the advantages of dedicated aviation bicycles are worth investing. The improvement of the comfort of today’s design is largely the product of a wider tire gap, and considerations such as the position of Y1RS seat pipe, which means that they are more users than the uncompromising stiff speed a few years ago. friendly. If you have luxury goods that already have multi -functional racing bicycles and want to expand the lineup, aviation bicycles will be more meaningful.
In other words, it is still a niche product compared to one of the all -around (such as Tarmac SL8 or the latest Trek Madone) or “climbing” bicycle (such as Cervelo R5 or Wilier Verticale). Here, you can still get the geometric shape of racing, but because they are designed to adapt to a wider terrain, they are more comfortable at a longer distance, and generally agile ride quality.
We say
Some new aviation bicycles have not resurrected people. Of course, they have never really disappeared. However, for a while, the criticism of “too rigid and too harsh” in their direction seems to make people more exclaimed. In view of the multifunctional and comfort of the new brigade of the “all” competition, the comfort of the new brigade, comfortable and comfortable, comfortable, comfortable sex. However, the change of UCI seems to have reached a certain degree of reading and writing, and ushered in a more compliant aviation bicycle and faster bicycles. This should make them more user -friendly, although the main focus of their straight line speed may still be a taste that may be obtained, which is to taste the serious racers who can hit Vatt.
