This was fun. I love how James tries to get the brands to show us the things he knows of or saw that was probably deemed not for the web yet. Thanks James!!
65,000 just for the frame set? Well, it's nice to see that manufacturers are more aware than ever the rising costs of bikes, and are doing their part to make competing professionally as accessible as ever.
For the bike to be UCI legal, it has to be publicly available. They have no intention of actually selling it to any normal people which is why the price is so high. They don’t actually wanna make any framesets for anyone other than the people they choose.
@@thetmac12 Yeah, I know, but I just cringe every time I see these "hot tech" segments, because I wonder what percentage of what they are showing, can the "average" customer actually afford. It's a fair point though.
As a know-nothing viewer it does feel like there should be a limit to what you can do, some development makes sense but this custom wind tunnel testing on super specialized one-off bikes takes it way too far for me. It feels like we're getting way closer to formula 1 than to athletic performance at that point
GTN should really remove this video. The price he's talking about is for the one off 3d printed TRACK BIKE Pinarello Bolide F HR (HR meaning hour record should have clued them in that it's a track bike lol) that doesn't even exist anymore. The normal carbon version is 12,500, the 3d printed one is 28,750 which have slightly different BB and geometry to Ganna's bike. The actual name of the bike they have there is the Pinarello Bolide F, which is made of carbon and well... not a track bike, which they could have found with a pico second of googling.
Hi ! thanks for the video, but i found it a bit superficial, with very few details on the bikes, especially about the Pinarello, where there would be much more to stay. What a shame.
Two videos in one day?! How in the world is Wurf's frameset $65k and how has that not garnered more attention as what has to be the most expensive ever?
I mean it's a world championship on the line. people have spent significantly more than the price of a bike to get that title. And on a personal level I also really like seeing the frontier being pushed, it makes it that much cheaper to get a 2-3 generation old one second hand.
James Cunnama - a very high class ex pro triathlete - he retired a few years ago. 5th at the Ironman world champs in 2017. We all need to stop once in a while to talk - he’s using it as emphasis given it’s a short video - it’s part of media training.
He’s positive, clear, concise and fun - do be careful what you say to people… they aren’t robots… if you’re not a fan you don’t have to watch but you’re missing out
🌴 What piece of hot Kona tech caught your eye the most? 😍
The giant trinity disc not featured here 👀
That ridiculous saddle angle on Jackson Laundry's Ventum
@@carloshombrebueno3095we have more to come on the channel 😉
The Gravel Worlds cameo 11sec in 😉 (still 5x the elevation gain of the one in Belgium)
Nerd belt
Oh look, the annual GTN Holiday!
Hahaha, zing!
There’s only effort and sweat on this channel
@@gtn make sure you wipe it down when you've finished.
Time to lobby for a pro-tour race on the Hawaiian islands.

How pro are you if you're paying for your bike?

Robert Wilkowiecki has a custom hydration system with refill. It nicely covers the space under the belly
Nice one James and team - high quality stuff!
pretty amazing tech inventions - but you need still watts to go fast!
Guess who will be the fastest if everyone drives the same watts.
Just saw Lionel struggling with that bike suit.
Pinarello: ribbed for your aerodynamic pleasure
Gustav looks like a power ranger midway through morphing.
8:10 not true, in sanders video he said that they didn't test this new set up. they have tested a similar one but it was slower.
It is the Bolide F TT if I'm not mistaken. Not the Bolide HR (track only). A little cheaper but still far away from affordable
This is part 1 and 5 more are coming, right?
We have one good piece of news and one bad piece of news 😥
New Ventum 🤤
Hi ! thanks for the video, but i found it a bit superficial, with very few details on the bikes, especially about the Pinarello, where there would be much more to stay. What a shame.
Makes you wonder how far technology and speed can possibly take us
Ah yes, the Pinarello "Bew-Leed" FHR
Two videos in one day?! How in the world is Wurf's frameset $65k and how has that not garnered more attention as what has to be the most expensive ever?
Full video on that coming soon 😊
The rear tires of Matt Hanson’s bike is fitted backwards 🤷♂️
To reverse the time so he can mske it earlier to the finish line 😂
Quintanaroos tire is in other way around
Surpas has me confused, isn't their Training line just trimtex?
The you know guy you know from you know Roka you know likes you know the you know phrase you know 'you know' you know quite you know obviously.
Jackson's saddle tilt is terrible
Maybe that motivates him to go faster to get off as soon as possible.
@@gtnIf being uncomfortable makes you faster removing the saddle... Makes the bike lighter? 😂
Hi guys what type of marginal gains can I get if I watch GTN every day ❤❤❤❤
Knowledge - but that's hardly marginal 😉😃
Depends, how much of it is instead of training?
Quite marginal, few gains, but plenty of entertainment and knowledge
Matt Hansons tire is wrong
I'm sure that presenter is a lovely guy but I can't listen to him. Jackson Laundrys saddle angle is insane.
kona expo, less and less booths and new products. Bring the male/female back for the day of competition! better!
Thats the obree super man position so nothing new
Will take about 10 seconds of this very acute accident so I’m out get someone that can speak
Bike bullshit, what’s the point, oh!! Let me guess, mines bigger than yours and $$$$$$. Tending to insanity.

Who is the presenter? A bit ackward. Talking and stop. Repeat.
