Monitor bike body design appears to have damaged new floor over the previous few years, with designs changing into wilder and extra outlandish than ever earlier than, which we assume is in no small half because of the extra relaxed UCI tube profile guidelines.
Hope and Lotus launched their placing observe bike effort for Group GB again in 2020 and not too long ago introduced a radical new model within the run-up to the Paris Olympics subsequent 12 months. We additionally not too long ago uncovered new machines from Look and BMC on the velodrome in the course of the Glasgow Worlds Championships.
We received to take a look at one other couple of placing observe bikes on the velodrome this week within the type of crew Argentina’s Toot Engineering / T-RED X23. We lined this venture and the growth of the bike again in Could, and you’ll learn numerous the technical particulars in that piece. Quick ahead a number of months although and the XR3 is being raced on the World Championships.
The standout characteristic of the bike is the frankly mind-blowing handlebar and stem setup, alongside a tiny angular body and disc and tri-spoke wheel mixture.

We additionally snapped a second bike, which dare we are saying seems to be a little bit bit extra typical than the bike featured above. The important thing standout right here is that this bike would not have the unconventional built-in handlebar and the body is barely – albeit not a lot – extra typical in look.
T-RED and Toot are mentioned to have a highway bike within the works so watch this area. If the observe bikes are something to go by it guarantees to be eye-catching on the very least.
