We are communicating and cooperating with the UCI and their new rule implementations. The aerobars have been modified to 3:1 and the stem has not been called out as it falls within the UCI rules as does the Bayonet, Look hinge, etc. Note that the brake mounts to the stem and the stem is mounted to the fork at the bottom of the crown. This forms a stiffness structure that significantly improved both braking performance and system torsional stiffness.
From personal experience (spent about 300 miles on the bike), the front end stiffness is very much worth the complexity of the design. This bike rails corners and descents better than any other TT bike I’ve ever ridden.

check that new “additive” wording on the 80mm depth rule. Seems it was targeted directly at Bayonet forks, hinged frames, integrated water bottles, and techdev-like stems.
You guys still using 1" steerers?
