The 30MPH Road Bike Challenge | Can Si Break 20 Minutes For A 10 Mile Time Trial?

Clock00:00, Sunday 15th August 2021

Over the past months we’ve seen Ollie demonstrate that super aero bike tech can make even the most mediocre cyclist look like a speed demon. Both in the velodrome during his hour record and on the road in his recent time-trial efforts, proper aero kit can make you really fast - 30mph fast!

We wanted to try something a little different though, instead of going all-out for aero gains, we wanted to see if Si could go fast enough to get a sub-20 minute 10-mile time-trial on a bike that he would ride and race on the road. With some help from our friends at Nopinz, we kitted out Si on a road-going Pinarello F12 to see if he could average over 30mph for an entire 10-mile TT on a road bike!

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!
