Felt IA 2.0
The Felt IA 2.0 is designed exclusively for triathlon racing and is therefore not UCI-approved for road racing. According to the manufacturer, the high-bred racer is "the fastest triathlon bike ever", with top triathlete Daniela Ryf providing advice during development. The frame offers storage space for a hydration system with a capacity of almost one litre, and bars and gels can be stored in a box integrated into the top tube. There is also an integrated compartment in the seat tube for tools and spare parts. In addition, the position adjustment options on the cockpit are said to be better than on other triathlon bikes. The price of the aero racing machine for time trials starts at 9999 euros. Here is an overview of the models:
- IA FRD 2.0 | Ultimate | Red E-Tap AXS - 14,999 euros
- IA FRD 2.0 | Ultimate | Dura-Ace Di2 - 13,999 euros
- IA FRD 2.0 | Ultimate | Force eTap - 11,299 euros
- IA FRD 2.0 | Ultimate | Ultegra Di2 - 9,999 euros
Corratec CCT Evo Factory
The CCT Evo Factory has been completely revised and a boomerang design has been incorporated into the geometry. Integration can be found in various areas of the aero road bike: Integration of the thru-axle end caps, but also the implementation of tradition, keyword: Bow frame on early Corratec mountain bikes.
The Bavarian manufacturer Corratec claims that the new racing bike is 30 watts faster than its predecessor at 208 watts.
- Frame weight: 800 grams (frame height 54)
- Geometry: STR value is sportier and more aggressive
- Comfort: lowered chainstays
- Colour: 2 colour variants plus one team colour
Fuji Kasane
The Fuji Kasane looks like a typical aero racer, but with a tyre clearance of 35 millimetres, it is an all-road bike that can also be ridden on bad roads and light gravel paths. The tapered seat post, which can also be attached to the rear wheel, should also ensure comfort. Fuji's gravel bike Jari is to be found. The geometry is modern and designed for long tours, the shape is aero-inspired.

Pilot - Titanium racing bike with lugs from 3D printer
Pilot is presenting a new titanium road bike at Eurobike. The speciality are 3D-printed sleeves, which are glued to the tubes. The tubes come from either Sweden or the USA, the 3D printing takes place at Element22 in Kiel and the adhesive comes from Eindhoven. The company's motto is to be as local as possible.
Using FEM analysis, i.e. complex computer simulations of material loads, the sleeves were optimised so that the frame weighs 1300 grams, 200 grams lighter than the welded frame.
The high-end body of the bike presented at the trade fair costs around 15,000 euros, but a complete bike is also possible from around 11,000 euros.
Thanks to 3D printing, it is easy to customise the geometry and thus offer other bikes with this production method in the future, for example a gravel bike is also planned.
Basso Diamante
The frame weight has been reduced thanks to more filigree, thinner tubes and high-quality materials. The eighth generation Basso Diamante frame is said to weigh 730 grams at frame height 53. According to the manufacturer, the Diamante fork has a particularly high flex. The handlebar/stem unit weighs 250 grams. The cables are completely internally routed. With the fade colouring, the traditional Italian manufacturer wants to make the racing bike look lighter. The painters practised for a week to be able to implement the design precisely.
Facts about the new Basso Diamante
- Size: 45 to 63
- Tyre clearance: up to 32 millimetres
- Range of use: All-round bike, very good for the mountain
- Special feature: A tool is hidden in the axle.
