That is absolutely sweet! You wouldn't expect anything less then a cycle like this built for awesome speed. For the man I call SuperSonic SAGAN the rock and roll mean green speed machine!! 👀😎💚👊 definitely looks like it packs a punch
9.5cm drop is not a lot. I realised the trick which Pros used. They ride with a low saddle to bar drop, so that they can ride a bike with a cockbit that is overall longer, hence those 130 to 150mm stems. It enables them to go into the aero hoods position, which is all that matters.
Yep. I ride a 140 stem with 67cm of reach and only 7cm of drop. It’s the excessive drop that makes you uncomfortable and it doesn’t do much to help you lower your front end.
I think the disc shifters have 2 ports and the regular rim have 3, the 3rd port on the rim shifters has an extra nub on it that is also on the sprint shifter cables so only they han go it there, im pretty sure they should fit with a mod, either like cut the nub or re solder a new end on, they are sponsored by shimano though so they could make special ones for them
How did he get those sprint shifters connected to that group set? I know from experience that there isn’t a port to plug them in. Does he have the mechanics do some wire splicing?
Talking about disc as if the entire peleton is opting to use then whilst the most succesful team thus far (Jumbo, 3 stages and yellow) uses rim brakes, aswell as currently the strongest looking contenders to win this years tour (Roglic, Bernal and Pogacar) all using rim brakes.
Rim brakes are definitely still used a lot but they do have so huge disadvantages, stopping power to be one, they are also way more effected by rain and generally brake down more often
@@JHOLE21 Yeah I know that. I didn't say that rim brakes are better in all scenarios. All I am saying is rim brakes are still just as relevant as disc brakes :) Both have their pro's and cons
The bike industry is forcing the shift to disc brakes. Collusion? They sponsor the teams so the teams have to use disc brakes. UNLESS...the team is well-financed and powerful enough to say what equipment they want to use. Such as Jumbo Visma and Ineos.
I have been watching some dream builds bikes where they build the pros bikes and it surprised me they are all over 7kg virtually. Landas bike is a few grains of salt under 7kg I thought I would be dead on 6.8 or maybe a little under.
Most of the disc bikes on this year's tour are well over 6.8kg. Teams don't use deep wheels to save weight. Most teams run 35mm-45mm rims. Ineos is using rim brake and bought lightweight wheels with its own money trying to save weight
hoppy1970 75.5cm from the bottom bracket. Not sure it’s the case here but some pro riders choose a smaller frame size to save weight and get a more aggressive position.
No, those are standard issue sprint shifters, you can find them in Shimano retailers. Each sprint shifter has a wire to connect to the STI levers. (Ultegra has two ports/lever while Dura-Ace has three if I remember correctly)
It's a Specialized out-front mount, made in collaboration with Bar Fly. This is made for Specialized stems with a slotted faceplate, like the Future stem, S-Works Venge stem (for the 3rd-gen Venge) and this Tarmac SL7 stem. The S-Works SL stem can use this mount too, just swap the faceplate for the Future stem's.
I just bought sagan venge overexposed then suddenly this came out 🤣 but its okay the venge still the fastest 😎 since it limited frameset so its going to be valueble in the future.
phwoar it’s normal. French journalist said it’s because sprinter’s bike need to be stronger than other bikes, to resist the acceleration and not be destroyed
@@territill And you fall for that BS? I can tell you it is all for marketing. Pro's dont need disc brakes, once they use their brakes they lose secconds. It is just because the pro's are riding on disc brakes, the regular cyclists are falling for this marketing and spending thoussands on new bikes, rims etc. There is a reason the top teams Ineos and Jumbo Visma are allowing their riders to ride rim, because they want to win ;)
This is actually the lightest 'climbing' bike on the market right now. With the trend of integrated bar/stem combos and threaded bb and thicker 'aero' tubing all the other brands have increased the weight ie. trek emonda, cannondale supersix evo, bmc teammachine. The only ones that are under 6.8kg are the canyon CFR and Factor O2 VAM
as a bay area boi, it's crazy to see a frame designed barely 15mins from my university ripping at the front of the peloton... not to mention, being reviewed by THE oliver bridgewood himself ; )
It's Supacaz bar tape. Note the six-point star logo on the bar end plugs, that's also hidden in the print on the bar tape itself. Supacaz is one of Sagan's personal sponsors.
You do realise that's with pedals, bottle cages, bottles, Wahoo mount and Wahoo computer? I know that the UCI weight limit does include some of those items, but it's still probably about half a kilo's worth of stuff that wouldn't normally get included when comparing bike weights.
@@AllanPhillips pedals, bottle cages, wahoo mount are all included when the jury weighs the bike. While the weight is not impressive and on the limit, it's well within some 100ths of grams and for a sprint it won't matter as much as aerodynamics and stiffness.
New Rovals are only clincher spec. He has no choice other than running clincher tires. Specialized need to advertise these new wheelsets.. so he is using them. He did go back to clx50s for TDF... which makes people wonder are the new Rovals actually better than the older versions.
Pete is never wrong haha because no pro would ever choose a 7.3kg bike over a 6.8kg bike, specialized didnt let him ride a rim brake bike when they made one
@Pete is never wrong fact: Specialized doesn't make their current top bike in rim brake version. So there is no choice, they have to ride discs. He would probably ride discs anyway because of the added stiffness of the thru-axle and beefed-up front fork of the disc version, but again, he (and all other specialized-sponsored riders) doesn't have a choice.
@Pete is never wrong a bit funny you stress facts vs opinions, and the moment I give a FACT (SL7 is only discs so no choice, and that's a FACT), you counter by giving your opinion. Each their own opinion, but if I may so, I rather race my 45k/hr criteriums with good brakes without stopping too much.
like near enough all new disc bikes they have 410mm chain stays, this bike will be slower than the rim brake bike he used to ride...remember when he won a lot, spoilers WVA just won todays stage on a rim brake bike with 405mm chain stays... think back to the GCN video from when disc first came out Si R said right at the start of the video disc brake bike wont be as responsive as rim
ExMachina the main aspects of how aero a bike is are the bars and wheels. Yes they have made this bike more aero but it’s a tiny gain which is totally undone by it having disc brakes which are non-aerodynamic. You gain a lot more from having a frame that is responsive then aero. Real aero gains are from rider position and wheels. We are not restricted by the uci weight limit or sponsors. The giant tcr rim or disc is 405mm chain stays and light add deep section wheels and that’s probably the fastest bike out there with out going crazy on money
Yeah right. So quickstep 70+ wins from last season all on disc bike is...not good enough? Last i checked they were the winningest team in 2019, and have been for god knows how many years.
I do ride on the same Level like Peter Sagan. Well, that is exactly true regarding the sitting height. Besides that - not really. So OK. A stellar Sportsman like PS truely deserves a dream bike like that. ...and I will continue to be happy with my 11 year old bike - which at least is a tad lighter than his one. So it's all good ;)
try to find one that is ligther than this now. With the trend of heavier integrated bar/stem combos and threaded bbs... all the 'lightweight' bikes (Emonda, supersix hi mod, teammachine etc) even the Emonda SLR when fully spec with cages and pedals etc is heavier than 7.29kg.
7.29 kg for a 11000 € bike is a steal... 800 gr. Just for breakings... Rim brakes are way better, lighter and more aero. Disc brakes are just a marketing move that makes bikes heavier.
The bike is 7,3kg because French TV said it’s because sprinter’s bike need to be stronger than other bikes, to resist the acceleration and not be destroyed

True

It really works well.
I thought that you couldn’t have Di2 sprint shifters with disc brake STI’s?
I think the disc shifters have 2 ports and the regular rim have 3, the 3rd port on the rim shifters has an extra nub on it that is also on the sprint shifter cables so only they han go it there, im pretty sure they should fit with a mod, either like cut the nub or re solder a new end on, they are sponsored by shimano though so they could make special ones for them
You need to hack a climbing shifter circuit board and solder the spirit shifter connections to it. Been there, done that, works great.
@@michaelblume150 wait the imbing shifters have a pcb?? Stupid that they charge like 200aud for them when it's probably just a spdt switch with a wire
GCN, where is the contest link to win this bike? :)
Smooth bike , This is my DREAMBIKE S-WORKS 🙏
Below the drops?
@gcnracning please show use the new factor ostro that israel start up nation is using at the tour
Such an awesome bike. Still gunna miss the Venge though
Since he change his bike Sl7, his sprint speed change !
How you think ? Especially stage 3 tour de france 2020.
The thing is though, Sam Bennett is also on the SL7, and is winning. Just not Sagan's year.
How did he get those sprint shifters connected to that group set? I know from experience that there isn’t a port to plug them in. Does he have the mechanics do some wire splicing?
Well, just saw gcn’s weighting bernals pinarello.. 7.1 kilo’s for 53 frame. Rim brakes etc. Stiffness adds weight?
Nice dork disk...
Well, the bike let him down. Shoulda kept the venge. Old is gold
How come it let him down?
It did good for Bennett, though. So it might not be the bike.
he been putting so much weight recently
Anyone know where the bora-hansgrohe bottles can be purchased in Dec 2020?
What rear derailleur hangers is that? What brand.
I don't know why people think aero bikes with aero wheels and disc brakes are going to be on the 6.8kg weight limit, it's a tough target to hit.
Mr. Claypole French journalist said sprinter’s bike need to be stronger than other bikes, to resist the acceleration and not be destroyed
Xander - that’s rubbish.
Weight is with wahoo, Wahoo Mount, Pedals, at least cages, do not know about bottles...
Disc brakes is shit
@SEAL CYCLE Tell this to Laurent Jalabert.

7.3 kg???
it’s normal. French journalist said it’s because sprinter’s bike need to be stronger than other bikes, to resist the acceleration and not be destroy
Maybe because of the disc setup, most rim brake on sub 7kg

are those pedal extenders at 2:57?
Yes. They are available with shorter or longer axles.
Wouldn't all Dura-Ace free hubs sound the same?
Yea but these don't use shimano hubs. Rovals use dt Swiss.
Is this a freewheel or cassette?
How many teeth do you think are the rear hub's star ratchets?
36teeth but you can change to a 54teeth
75.5cm saddle height from which reference point? I ask because Sagan is 184cm and I am 185cm but always rode a 58cm frame. Thanks.
hoppy1970 75.5cm from the bottom bracket. Not sure it’s the case here but some pro riders choose a smaller frame size to save weight and get a more aggressive position.
@@eduardobraga4461 Thanks Eduardo.
how much does it weigh
The pedal are from Shimano Dura Ace not Speedplay
Tuolol GCN
That's the bike I wish I could afford, though a bit smaller frame for my height but yeah, gimme.
Pros often ride 1-2 size smaller frames for better stiffness. I’m sure Sagan’s correct size is around 60cm.
Hot, and that freehub sounds like a small chainsaw !
The more noise - the more wasted energy.
Nick Mannerings a small price to pay
gotta make sacrifices
Are those custom sprint shifters? How do you connect them to hydraulic STI?
No, those are standard issue sprint shifters, you can find them in Shimano retailers. Each sprint shifter has a wire to connect to the STI levers. (Ultegra has two ports/lever while Dura-Ace has three if I remember correctly)
It is a keeper ☺️
#GCN does anyone know where I can find that computer mount? Thanks a lot.
Specialized Concept Stores should sell them. This is the result of a collaboration between Specialized and Bar Fly.
51cm deep front rim???
Was the reported weight 7.29kg exactly as we saw it - with pedals on, the wahoo on and 2 (empty) bottles in the cages?
anyone know the name of that Wahoo mount?! 🙌🏻
It's a Specialized out-front mount, made in collaboration with Bar Fly. This is made for Specialized stems with a slotted faceplate, like the Future stem, S-Works Venge stem (for the 3rd-gen Venge) and this Tarmac SL7 stem.
