2014 Trek Speed Concept 9 Series (video)
I recently got a fit by Paraic McGlynn at his Cyclologic fit studio in Scottsdale, AZ.
In the video below, I talk about the details of the new Trek Speed Concept.
If the video doesn't show, click on this to watch the video.
-Made with 600 series OCLV Carbon with the KVF (Kammtail Virtual Foil) tube shape and has a BB90 bottom bracket.
-The rear wheel has vertical drop outs which is easier to put on/take off.
-The Shimano base-bar shifters are great for climbing.

"In repeated trials using Trek’s state-of- the-art Alphamantis Aero Systemv, the new Speed Concept saved Fabian the drag equivalent of 30-40 seconds in a one-hour time trial." -Speed Concept White Paper
Overall perception: Great braking power, descends very well on hills, sexy, stiff, light & FAST! I love it! Excited to post some FAST bike splits this year!
