Earlier this year Hank and Mark Beaumont attempted the Lands End to John o' Groats record on a tandem! We thought it was time Alex got his hands on the custom bike, getting up close and personal with all the tech and getting that all-important freehub sound check!

Can Connor ride this bike solo from rear seat?

@ewetopiafarm 2 года назад

Fastest Tandem? It's heavier than my Co-motion Carrera, and a lot heavier than the Macchiato that I have on order.

@Long_Machine

WE had to switch to 203mm rotors, kept shredding the smaller rotors. A 50mph descent every lap during a road race smokes 'em.

@chrisridesbicycles 2 года назад

Lighter than I expected. What about a challenge to find the fastest duo of presenters on the tandem? Can super competitive Si make up for Dan? Does Connor on the front with a smaller rider on the back give the best aero teardrop shape?

@kakablee

In electric shifting era, tandem bike can be perfected. Now, we need a differential mechanism between two cranks.

@patrickgibbons5961

They’re called stroker hoods in the rear, not dummy levers.

Very surprised at the weight. 15.58kg is a lot for a carbon tandem. Our Aluminum Santana Sovereign weighs around 14kg. Also, the 1x setup while perfect for gravel riding is not ideal for a tandem. At least a compact 2x system would work worlds better for climbing. Imagine 2 GCN riders putting out 400 watts each while spinning at 90rpm up a climb. That would be amazing to experience!

@TovEazy

2 pros on a tandem vs Sai on a TT bike

@brianrainey2739 2 года назад

Superlight at just over 34 lbs! The way Alex was lifting it I was thinking closer to 50. This beautiful rig is less than a lot of full sus mtn bikes….

@easternbrown 2 года назад

Just a thought, but wouldn't it be more aero to have the smaller rider on the front?

@ravennexusmh 2 года назад

Love the incredibly large 180mm rotor haha. 203f 180r is my standard for all bikes. Powerful brakes are best when the hands are tired and no longer work properly.

I’ve been looking forward to this overview! Excellent video. Connecting the timing chain to the inner ring of the rear chainset is a genius idea, something I haven’t seen before. Utilising a wide ranging gravel cassette to compensate for the 1x set up is also very clever. However, calling the bike “world’s fastest racing tandem” I think is a bit of a stretch! No aero handlebars to be seen!
