Tour tech 2011: Fabian Cancellara's Trek Speed Concept

Four-time World Time Trial Champion Fabian Cancellara will be using a Trek Speed Concept when riding against the clock in this year’s Tour de France, and we were lucky enough to get our hands on it when we visited the Leopard Trek hotel near Nantes yesterday. We’ll have a quick look at the graphics before checking out the technology…

We’ve heard that the Swiss rider isn’t too keen on the Spartacus nickname, but if that’s true he's certainly hiding it well… the graphics on Cancellara’s Speed Concept, like those on his Trek Madone 6.9 SSL road bike, are entirely Spartacus-themed.

The artwork was done by an illustrator known as Hydro74 (we’re guessing that’s not the name on his birth certificate), and Trek explain it like this: “Evoking iconography of the classical Greek warrior-state of Sparta, Cancellara’s bikes are emblazoned with the Thracian helmet and the dory, a spear employed by all Spartan warriors. Through the direction and collaboration with Trek’s in-house design team, Hydro 74 created a series of icons including the helmet, spear, shield, and a carved serpentine floral pattern.”

So there you go.

“The challenge this project presented was in how we marry the raw, powerful illustration style of Hydro74 with the clean, classic aesthetic that we created for Leopard Trek,” said Trek Art Director Jesse LaLonde. “There are elements throughout the bike that are special to Fabian that we utilized as in the seven spears representing his lucky number and of course the Swiss Cross.”

It was painted by hand at Trek’s manufacturing facility in Waterloo, Wisconsin, and you can have the same design if you use Trek’s Project One custom bike programme. Of course, you’ll have to buy a bike to put it on too.

The bike is built around the same frame as the one used for the Trek Speed Concept 9.9 that we revie wed recently . We won’t go into too much depth here – check out the review for all the details – but the design is based around Trek’s Kammtail Virtual Foil (KVF) technology. Essentially, Trek have designed the frame tubes with a 5:1 depth: width ratio and then chopped the trailing edges off square so that the actual ratio is more like 3:1.

This allows the bike to pass UCI regulations and, Trek say, means it is more aerodynamic at yaw – when the virtual wind (the virtual wind caused by the actual wind combined with the bike’s movement) is at an angle. Plus, you won’t get flattened if the wind hits you side-on.
