The fastest road bike in the world. If you like to go fast, the all-new SystemSix will make you faster. It’s as simple as that. The result of years of incentive R&D its fully System Integrated design delivers more speed, in more situations, than any other bike on the market.
To sum it up: It’s the fastest UCI-legal road racing bike ever made.
Highlights:
Go Faster. Easier. SystemSix produces the least aerodynamic drag of any road bike on the market. Since the bike represents about 30% of a riders total drag, that translates into less effort for any rider, at any speed.
Faster on Climbs. The SystemSix’s aero advantage make it faster than lightweight climbing bikes on any climb up to a 6% gradient or more, depending on rider’s power to weight. To put that in perspective, the most revered HC climbs in the Tour only average 7-8%.
Faster on Descents. Dropping down a 5% grade, a rider on a traditional lightweight bike would need to put out over 300 watts just to keep up with a rider spinning at a recovery effort on a SystemSix.
Faster on the Flats. At 48km/h (30mph), SystemSix saves you over 50 watts – huge savings considering an average Cat 1 racer’s Functional Threshold Power is around 350 watts. And even when drafting, you’re still getting up to 60% of that benefit.
Faster in the Sprints. N a 200m sprint with riders putting out a 1000 watt effort, the SystemSix rider would be four bike lengths ahead at the line.
Easier when Cruising. Even at a mellow group ride pace, SystemSix requires about 10% less power to maintain speed, leaving you with more in the tank when it’s time to throw down.
