Trek was able to produce the best race cars, but he also developed a lot of affordable models. The evolution of bicycles from the steel frame era to the carbon fiber era has given a number of Meitai bicycle factories the opportunity to overtake in corners, surpassing many European century-old brands in one fell swoop. TREK's mastery is OCLV (short for Moderate Compression, Low Void) carbon fiber technology, which began in 1991 and became a major player in the cycling industry in 1999 when legendary Armstrong won the Tour de France on an OCLV 5200 road bike. The most important aspect of OCLV is that the carbon fiber is compressed into a series of superimposed carbon layers in an optimal carbon-resin ratio, which exceeds aerospace standards in terms of material voiding. At present, TREK's road models mainly include the following, the Emonda series, a lightweight model for climbing, with...

Nowadays, road cars have entered the era of carbon fiber, a variety of materials science, aerodynamics, ergonomics and other technologies in one, large-scale industrial production has replaced handicraft workshops has become the mainstream, at the same time, many Italian high-end handmade brands are weakening, sticking to the tradition of plum blossoms in many new areas are slow and half-beat, the status is not as good as in the past. But from another dimension, no matter how advanced the frame is bought now, it will look outdated after a few years; The plum bicycle, which is exquisitely crafted and works of art, can transcend time.

Cervelo Canada

Founded in 1995, Cervelo is a rising star in the world of cycling, but it's arguably the originator of aero road bikes. Its bikes are both lightweight and top-notch aerodynamic performance, and have been active in major top races all year round. Chinese can be translated as Saivolo, but more riders like to call it the nickname Shot. There's a saying that Cervelo flattened a road bike, and breaking wind is Cervelo's signature feature. In order to pursue the smallest windward area, windbreakers tend to be relatively flat and full of fighting atmosphere. Pneumatic cars can reduce air resistance by about 5%-10% compared with climbing models at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, and may only have an advantage of less than 1% in terms of comprehensive resistance, but this slight advantage can be turned into a lead of tens of seconds or even a minute or two in long-distance races, which is enough to affect the outcome of the race. However, the weight of the windbreaker is often large, and the comfort is relatively poor, which is not suitable for healthy cycling enthusiasts. The R&D cost of the wind breaking bicycle is much higher than that of other categories of bicycles, and some of the brain hole wind breaking manufacturers who only simulate experiments on the computer, Cerv...

Decathlon France

As the world's largest sportswear retailer, Decathlon has provided consumers with a large number of high-quality and affordable sports products, and has spared no effort to promote popular sports for many years, making many expensive sports equipment popular. BTWIN is a Decathlon bicycle brand, and when it comes to Decathlon road bikes, professional riders are estimated to look down on them, and there is a very amateurish feeling. Now Decathlon has shrunk its high-end product line and focused on entry-level products, which seems to be less professional, but Decathlon used to be a race car in the Tour de France, and its car manufacturing strength is first-class. For an ordinary consumer who wants to exercise and try road bikes, the biggest advantage is reliable quality and low price. The penetration rate of road vehicles in China is still very low, and in developed countries in Europe and the United States, the penetration rate of road vehicles is not inferior to mountain bikes. As an enthusiast, you don't necessarily need to have a high-end bike or how many championships you have won.
