Since aerodynamics is often the deciding factor in racing, there is constant research to improve it. Against this backdrop, the Speedmax CF SLX was developed especially for time trial and triathlon sports. The objective was to improve the performance in both fields with optimised aerodynamics. This bike fascinates with a new frame concept that is based on elaborate CFD analyses (Computational Fluid Dynamics). These studies were used to first develop profile cross-sections for the tube forms, which considerably reduce air resistance. The result is an innovative frame design, integrating the entire braking system and cockpit into the frame in a technically and formally coherent way. This bike therefore features highly developed aerodynamic properties, whose performance was confirmed by extensive wind tunnel testing. It visually impresses with a clear and purist design language, reflecting its technical quality and functionality. This impression is intensified by precisely defined contour edges, emphasising the frame’s graphical parallelogram. The Speedmax CF SLX time trial and triathlon bike gets to the heart of the highest performance – with aerodynamic findings being precisely implemented.
Statement by the Jury
Already at first glance, the Speedmax CF SLX gives the impression of efficiency and power. The careful development and elaborate details all serve the improvement of the aerodynamics. The individual components are perfectly attuned to one another and blend seamlessly into the dynamic overall appearance. This bike appears like a sportive “weapon” optimised for success and maximum performance.
