Berk PROTO-TYPE Composites

Thanks!

Our wheels are still in development, but we should soon have such photos with them

Only some of us know what is under those shoe covers:

Looking forward for more such podiums in the future

About wheels, what lack of information is:

1. what kind of brakiing surface
2.what about rear hub mechanism (paws, rachet) or internal parts.

Congratulations for Primoz - he is true "advertisment" of Berk

[Berk]

We look forward to work more with the guys who race at the highest level .
For the wheel - we are working on our own rear hub. Rim brake and disc brake. Will publish more details once it is ready.

Oooh! Berk shoes?! It's a logical application for your skills and a smart strategic progression for this stage of the Berk brand.

Some more custom work, to complete the front brake fairing we posted previously (for that Bianchi)

503g for the finished setup, almost half the weight of the original setup

Congrats on the 2nd place!

[Willier]

I think, that he did not use that handlebar in TT

[Berk]

Yes you are right, his team banned that idea, although after their training camp for the TTT they said it was ok, but changed their mind on the WC. Anyway, still extremely happy for him

[dereksmalls]

Did he use the fairing?

[Stolichnaya]

Finally some pics of the ISP.







Thanks again, Jure

@dereksmalls unfortunately also not possible, because we made it different at the bottom of the stem (it was a perfect fit with the handlebar which has a bit different shape than the original)

Some matte looking saddle shells prepared for bonding to the saddle rails:


And we already started to sell our Sito shoes, already available in a few shops to try them

Weekend in the mountains, enjoying on a climb that is only 5km away from our company

That's a shame. I hope his team changes it's mind and he does get to use it in the future though Jure. Was it just a "the worlds is too big a race to try this at, wait until they're over and use at a smaller race" kind of scenario from his National and trade team? It would great to see it winning races soon!

Did he (and others) have a bike change for the climb in the end? Wouldn't make as much sense to run it then right?

It's sad to not see those wonderful parts out in the wild though...

Hi,
no it was already used in the training camp etc., no problem at all. But it is really not fair to their sponsors, and the team mechanics are responsible for their bikes and I completely understand them. Anyway, no problem for that, the performance of his ride was great anyway!
Otherwise we are already in contact with some "protour" guys who will use our shoes next season, so looking forward for it . We already made a system with "boa" clamps and we will also soon present it..for now it is only for the world team racers.
