what's the 'reference' - time to beat?

 

 

49.7 km in one hour

 

Czech rider Ondrej Sosenka’s record of 49.7 kilometers will be the men’s mark to beat, as it is the farthest distance attained using a bike and position that are legal under current UCI pursuit bike regulations.

As for the remaining components, Roessingh adds that, "Bontrager is the Trek wheel brand but we don't currently make disc wheels. So, to fulfil that need, we again went to our friends at Shimano, who were able to supply us with some of their Pro brand track wheels. We tested a few front wheel options, the Pro 5-spoke and disc front wheels, and the Bontrager Aeolus 9. Jens is confident in his ability to handle a front disc, so that will be the direction that we're taking, since it's the fastest.
