Described as the world’s first road bike equipped with a Vibration Control System (VCS) and an integrated power meter, the SpeedX Unicorn is an action-packed bicycle designed for peak performance. From the lightweight carbon fiber stackable frame to its SpeedForce cycling computer, SpeedX created a revolutionary street bike that combines state-of-the-art technology with groundbreaking ergonomics.
Comfort
“Unicorn provides up to 30% more comfort than regular road bikes with the VCS technology.”
The SpeedX Unicorn comes with its very own Vibration Control System allowing the bike to stabilize itself over rough terrain. With the rider’s comfort in mind, the VCS features three design elements that collectively absorb shock, smooth out vibrations, and improve comfort, speed, and control. SpeedX made sure that carbon fiber is introduced in and around stress points and because of it, acts as a shock inhibitor. In addition, the seat is capable of flexing 3-degrees/15mm to absorb additional impact – especially when transitioning from a paved road to more challenging terrain.
Strength & Durability
Armed with a hydraulic disc brake system engineered for riding on stone pavements, tackling road bumps, and performance on rough surfaces, the Unicorn can endure long arduous road trips. Riding in torrential downpours or in desert-like conditions does not alter the SpeedX’s impressive braking technology. Tested with 150 kilograms, the 870g carbon fiber frame comes with a lifetime replacement guarantee and 7-days no-questions-asked return policy.
Technology
Also, the world’s first bike to come with an integrated power meter, the crank-based system by SpeedX is 99% accurate and lasts 8000km. With a full suite of riding metrics that include cadence, speed, heart rate, calories burned, GPS, weather, and power – the cyclists have an arsenal of performance measurements at their disposal. Whether it’s the barometer (altitude) sensor, the movement detector, or the speed/cadence tracker, SpeedX comes with the latest sensor technology.
Arguably one of the best training metrics to track whether it’s a 60-minute ride or a 90-day training program, the Functional Threshold Power (FTP) computes your highest watt output – giving riders a glimpse into performance data.
Resting on the SpeedX Unicorn’s handlebars is a built-in 2.2-inch cycling computer powered by an Android operating system. Capable of tracking live data, the SpeedForce touch screen is not only detachable but has a good 20 hours of battery life. Switching screens is as simple as pressing the separate wireless button that can be positioned anywhere on your SpeedX Unicorn.
Connectivity
Gathering historical riding data is as seamless as opening the iOS/Android compatible SpeedX app. Whether you’re training for a triathlon or want to improve your recreational cycling performance, the SpeedForce bike computer speaks directly to the SpeedX app. Detailed post-ride data for every ride is not just gathered but analyzed in easy-to-understand charts and graphs. It’s like having a seasoned Tour Du France cycling coach riding alongside you with every training session.
Final Thoughts
If you want an incredible smart bike that tracks performance metrics every step of the way, look no further than the SpeedX Unicorn. From its newly re-designed portable cycling computer to its Vibration Control System (VCS), you have the perfect combination of both state-of-the-art innovation with superior riding comfort.
