FIRST RIDE: PLANET X STEALTH

Planet X Stealth

You may well recognise this bike from the Grand Tours this summer. Cadel Evans rode this frame design, decked out in Ridley stickers, during the time trial stages in the Tour de France.

It comes from a mould in a carbon factory in China. Planet X developed the frame design but because it didn?t buy the mould itself, other manufacturers can also jump in, hence its appearance at the Tour.
