Not wanting to be outdone by the stunning track bike the British track squad will be racing next year Pinarello has announced the new MAAT track bike that it hopes will be the key to Italian success on the boards of Tokyo.

Taking over from the Bolide HR that famously helped Sir Bradley Wiggins take the hour record, the new MAAT pushes the aerodynamic advantages even further. With the UCI scrapping the archaic 3:1 tubing ratio restrictions, Pinarello was able to redesign the frame of the MAAT to create a very wind-cheating profile. This sees the head tube, fork and seat stays adopting more elongated and extreme aero shaping to hopefully see success in both sprint and endurance events. The fork in particular has not only the aero shaping but a wide stance designed to improve airflow, not only around the front wheel but also across and around the rider's legs.
