McEwen’s new bike has a 2009 fully-redesigned Ridley Oval-licensed Jetstream road fork and seatstays. Both the stays and the fork feature split aero blades with a new shape designed by MIT aerodynamics guru Mark Drela. The fork and stays are not only aerodynamic themselves, but their split blades also suck air away from the spokes and reduce the aerodynamic drag of each wheel. And at sprinting speeds of over 70kph, not to mention all of the hours spent riding leading up to it, every ounce of aerodynamic drag and watt of power saved makes a difference. | Photo: Lennard Zinn
