This bike was designed to achieve best-in-class aerodynamic performance. The Oltre RC is a full carbon aero bike that enables the rider to dominate drag: an air deflector pushes the air around the head tube, creating a reduced negative pressure area directly behind it. This reduces overall drag, even when the wind angle changes. In the case of extreme yaw angles, a sailing effect is created. “Similar to the front wing of a racing car, the air deflectors play a decisive role in shaping the bike frame, visually conveying robustness and speed,” the jury said.
