Scott Launches New Addict Gravel Bike With Greater Comfort and Reduced Stiffness
Vuelta a España Tech Gallery: A prototype Dura-Ace groupset, a new saddle for Tadej Pogačar, and a special custom bike
Cyclingnews surveys the technology used during the opening stages of the Vuelta a España in Monaco. The gallery highlights an unfinished Shimano Dura-Ace groupset with a 13-speed cassette, non-wireless rear derailleur, revised crankset and shifters, alongside Tadej Pogačar’s Colnago TT2 and a custom lighter Fizik Aeris LD R1 time-trial saddle. It also examines custom aerodynamic handlebars, 3D-printed extensions, specialist wheels and tyres, and distinctive bikes ridden by riders and teams including Ethan Hayter, Wout van Aert, Richard Carapaz, Enric Mas and Mads Pedersen.
