Some car factories are always "doing nothing" except producing cars, and they have made some attempts in other fields. Recently, following the successful listing of the 650S, McLaren has launched a new car, but this time it is a "super sports car" in the bicycle industry. This bicycle named S-Works McLaren apron was jointly developed by McLaren and the famous American bicycle brand Specialized, with a limited sales of 250 bicycles worldwide.

The picture shows the McLaren s-works bicycle launched on 20 10.

However, this is not the first cooperation between McLaren and a professional team. As early as 20 10, McLaren obtained the S-Wroks series top-class road vehicle prototype produced by Specialized and carried out technical research and development, and finally launched the McLaren Pavilion s-works ultra-lightweight road vehicle with a frame weight of only 2.07 1 kg. This time, McLaren cooperated with Specialized to develop a data acquisition and simulation system to simulate the real stress of the frame and maximize the strength of the frame. Joe Marsh, a composite engineer at McLaren, admitted that the development of the S-Works McLaren apron was more difficult than the previous Venge S-Works.

Thanks to the carbon fiber technology used by McLaren in its own F 1 racing car, McLaren 12C, P 1 and the newly launched 650S, the frame weight of S-Works McLaren asphalt bicycle has been effectively reduced by 9% to 1 1%. For a road car, such a degree of "slimming" is undoubtedly revolutionary. In addition to the extremely light frame, the tubular carbon fiber rim of S-Works McLaren apron has also been redesigned, and the weight is reduced by 30g compared with Venge S-Works.

In addition, the frame and front fork of S-Works McLaren apron are painted in the same orange as McLaren P 1, and the price is as high as 1 10,000 euros, which comes from McLaren spraying workshop. During the research and development process, the development team realized that the different physical conditions of each driver were enough to affect the final riding performance. Therefore, Specialized provides a set of parts of various sizes, including handlebars, handlebars and seats, to meet the needs of drivers of different sizes. Almost every part of the car body has been specially designed to make its comprehensive performance more outstanding.

The biggest problem facing McLaren is how to mass-produce such a high-tech road bike. To this end, McLaren has specially built an independent production line to produce important parts needed by S-Works McLaren apron bicycles, and only a few experienced technicians can be competent for this job. Having said that, how much is the S-Works McLaren apron? This limited edition of 250 McLaren road cars costs as much as16,000 pounds, or about1703,21RMB.

2021July 2 to July 30, 3 1, users can book S-Works McLaren apron bicycles in official website. In addition to this expensive "McLaren Bicycle", successful users will also get customized nameplates, display stands, cycling shoes and S-Works price helmets in the same color as the body. Like the McLaren supercar, this limited-edition road bike belongs to only a small number of people. @20 19
