Made to give Michał Kwiatkowski (Poland), Magnus Sheffield (USA), reigning European Time Trial Champion Josh Tarling (Great Britain) and former World Time Trial Champions Tobias Foss (Norway) and Filippo Ganna (Italy) every advantage at the Paris Olympics’ Individual Time Trial, Pinarello has unveiled a new version of the Bolida F TT bike reduces drag by 2.28% over its predecessor.
The drag reduction comes from two design features – AirStream AeroNodes and AirFoil sections.
The AirStream AeroNodes were inspired by the tubercules found on humpback whale flippers. They’re integrated onto the seat tube and seat post to reduce the complex vortexes generated by riders’ leg movements to improve airflow.
