Speed record broken

Austria’s Markus Stoeckl, 33, set a new world record for series mountain bikes in the Chile’s Alps when he hit a speed of 210.4 km/h. He shattered an eight-year-old record by an incredible 23 km/h. Stoeckl, member of Team MS Intense Racing, is one of Shimano’s official test riders. In his successful record attempt he relied completely on components provided to him by Shimano Europe like a Saint crankset and rear derailleur and the new Deore XT disc brakes with 203mm rotors for front and rear that gave him the controllability and brake power to stop savely after this amazing speed.
