Team Vacansoleil-DCM uses Ridley bikes, versions Noah, Damocles and Helium. In the picture we see the Noah version, more suited to the sprinters. The frame is a monocoque high modulus carbon, with a weight of about 1075 grams. The fork has a monocoque structure with the blades flat and large divided into two parts with a wing that is used to remove air from the bike, providing enhanced speed performance. The papered headset have bearing 1 inch and 1/2 below and 1 inch and 1/8 above, while the tube is short and large. Even the frame tubes are larger than standard, as the tube or the tube. The central movement is over-size as the section of the tube, slightly curved profile. The wagon is very short, with pipes from section abundant, the tubes have a higher airfoil similar to that of the fork, always to improve aerodynamic efficiency. The weight of the bike is around 7.2kg, higher than the UCI limit. The bike is then assembled with the SRAM Red group, with controls, brakes, chain, sprocket, front and rear derailleur. Present the chain guide Rotor. The crank Rotor can be equipped with oval crown and SRM power detector. Fast Forward the wheels, high-profile carbon rims, complete with Vredestein Fortezza Pro Tubular Tricomp. The saddle San Marco Regal Racing Team is, with a hull made of carbon, while the stem Deda Zero 100 is; always Deda the handlebar, even in aluminum, Newton Shallow model. The pedals are Look Keo Carbon Blade. It remains a rigid bike, rigid, but as time passes and now for all the competitors can bring a bike as aerodynamic and stiff, but with a weight more competitive. A nice bike, though.
