Giant Rouleur Live 2021 Tech Gallery - Pinarello, Trek, Ceramic Speed, S-Works, BMC & more

Dive into a huge galley of shiny (and some muddy) bike tech

We're on our way back from Rouleur and, despite the lack of beer, we had a great time looking at some of the best cycling tech available. Here are some of our highlights.

BMC Masterpiece Rouleur13.jpg

BMC's Masterpiece is a stunning example of quality control. The frame comes out of the mould like this and it is raw perfection.

The logos are subtle and we learnt that only about 80 have been sold worldwide since the bike's launch roughly a year ago.

Lightweight wheels finish a no-expense-spared build.

Hope Track Rouleur4.jpg

This Hope track bike would be the ultimate hipster fixie. It's also very fast.

Moscon Roubaix Bike Rouleur3.jpg

Gianni Moscon's drivetrain is my idea of a nightmare.

Make your own jokes about it being as dirty as his mouth...

Carapaz Olympic Dogma F Rouleur8.jpg

His teammate Carapaz, meanwhile, has been busy with the polish.

Look at that paint fade too! Tidy.

Ceramic Speed R9200.jpg

Ceramic Speed has its OSPW systems ready to go if you've got your hands on the new Dura-Ace and you feel the need to spend more money.

Ribbe Ultra Rouleur10.jpg

Ribble's Ultra was on display in this stunning British Racing Green. Sparkles are optional.

Lizzie Deignan Trek Domane Paris Roubaix Rouleur5.jpg

One of the most interesting race bikes that we've seen this year is Lizzie Deignan's Roubaix-winning Trek.

The bike features a 1X SRAM Red eTap AXS groupset. The chain keeper is a just-in-case measure.

SRAM Blips sit on either side of the stem to make sifting easier on the cobbles.

Race notes tidily printed.

And big tyres for a floaty ride.

S-Works Crux Rouleur2.jpg

This Specialized S-Works Crux featured a beautiful brushed aluminium-effect finish.

And we'll finish with this POC TT lid with the brilliant Palace design. It's quackers.

Ok, someone get us a beer.

Love that Lizzie D has race notes.

The hat is great.

All the paint jobs fab.

And some one with a bike dirtier than mine.

love the details on Lizzies bike, dont love theyve clearly washed it then if its now in that state...and taken the race number off and changed the saddle as she rode the race with a white saddle, and I thought they said they were keeping it as it finished with all the mud, grit, blood, sweat & tears, even if it wasnt quite in the state Moscons is.

or is this not quite THE winning bike, but a facsimilie, tbf I thought the original had now ended up in their Trek museum at Waterloo HQ,so Id have been surprised to see it Rouleur.

Might have been a spare off the car. As you say, too much changed for it to be the actual bike.

I wonder which one of Moscons that was, the finishing bike or the one he had swapped out.

Wow, hadn't realised Lizzie had won on 1x. Makes sense given how flat it is but is that the first pro win for 1x?

The Aqua Blue lot were on 1X and they took a few wins so not the first but I'm surprised that it isn't more common in races such as Roubaix.
