Italian bicycle manufacturer Pinarello has printed off a new 3D-printed bike for his attempt at the UCI Hour Record.
Dubbed "Bolide F HR 3D" the bike is being billed as the fastest one in its field. Italian track and road cyclist Filippo Ganna used the bike to break the UCI Hour Record.
Pinarello says this enabled it "to introduce new shapes and features that are impossible to replicate" using existing carbon fiber construction techniques.
Pinarello built a custom frame with a millimeter-accurate size using Scalmalloy, an aerospace alloy developed for use with 3D printers.
