Saying it's fast is kinda cliche, but it is. In fact, it's not just fast, the Vlaanderen is a damn rocket from Hades. It's asphalt-devouringly stiff and yet paradoxically comfortable to ride. A monster in a silk robe.

The Vlaanderen is constructed from the highest quality, high-modulus Toray uni-directional carbon, and features a BB30 bottom bracket and massive chain stays for power transfer, a tapered steer tube for precise handling and an integrated seat mast to convey all those good road sensations straight to the rider. The geometry was developed to be a good all-around race rig: as comfortable on day-long rides is it is confident in hectic criteriums. Take it down a high-speed descent and you'll really see where the Vlaanderen is a true stand-out; its rigid front and rear end allow it to trace a perfect arc around turns.

The 2013 Vlaanderen will come in 2 colors: Belgian Blue and Euro White.

Features:

  • Unidirectional, Torayca High Modulus M40 and Intermediate modulus T800 and T700 carbon fiber.
  • Tapered headtube with 1 1/4” bottom bearing for a balance between stiffness and road feel.
  • Integrated seat mast for lighter weight, high-road feel and a striking look.
  • Oversized chain stays for total power transfer.
  • BB30 bottom bracket for stiffness and light weight.
  • Longer wheelbase for stable descending and predictable cornering.
