Why is Eiviestretto so fast and how much better is it than a ordinary racebike? We tested both bikes in the RUAG Windtunnel Emmen. TV-Report and facts here.

Intensive collaboration, honored by the World Record

After the recordrun in 2011 I knew that we can still go faster! We improved the bike and I concentrated more on training. What happend in 2012? Why didn’t we set a new mark?
