Henri Schoeman unveils his new Hypervox
“It’s designed as an aero bike, which suits the kind of racing we do, but it’s actually pretty smooth too,” he said. “With the road surfaces we often have to ride on – like in Stockholm and Rio – you really don’t want to feel beaten up by your bike before the run. On the tight circuits you are constantly accelerating and braking so having a bike that handles well is so important, plus you want every watt going onto the road.”
