Aero is clearly still king in the pro peloton, and one look at these new bikes proves it - Orbea's Orca Aero gets added stiffness and an overall beefier look thanks to the UCI relaxing its 3:1 tube profile rule.

Interestingly, we're seeing plenty of aero options for riders looking to use disc brakes. Michael Matthews' Giant Propel is one of these, brought out just in time for the biggest race of the year. In a similar vein, Alberto Bettiol's Cannondale Superslice made history as the first disc-equipped time trial bike in the Tour de France.

We've also got offerings from Colnago and Merida to finish up this tech roundup.

Illegal Super Bike | So Fast It Was Banned!

Have we finally found the first carbon fibre monocoque UCI-banned superbike which can topple the time of a modern road bike? The Hotta has Tour de France Prologue Victories and Olympic Medals to its name and we've got not just one, but two of these very special machines to pit against a brand-new Canyon Aeroad. But there's a twist, one of the Hotta's is kitted out in full retro-guise, but the other, is a modern take, assembled with cutting-edge components to blend the two worlds into one. Could this create the ultimate mix of modern efficiency with old-school aerodynamic madness? There's only one way to find out!
