Golden arrives at the bicycles of Olympic champions

The excitement for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games is still alive, and now shines brighter than ever with the arrival of the golden bicycles designed for cycling champions. Olympic glory is now reflected in the bicycles of cycling champions in their various disciplines. Grace Brown, Remco Evenepoel, and Kristen Faulkner have already received their new bicycles with golden finishes and unique designs.

Evenepoel, Brown, and Faulkner turn their bicycles into gold

Some of the athletes who won gold medals in cycling have received specially designed bicycles to commemorate their victories, with a golden finish that in the world of cycling recognizes those who hold the title of Olympic champion.

Remco Evenepoel, who demonstrated power and dominance by winning gold in both the road race and the time trial, has received a golden Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8. This golden design, which includes a transition from black to gold on the head tube, highlights the exclusivity of the model. It has not yet been confirmed if Evenepoel will compete with this precious model that recognizes him as an Olympic champion for the rest of the season.

For the last three years, in the men's road cycling category, Richard Carapaz has been the one riding the golden bicycle as the champion of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, while Roglic has done so as the champion in the time trial discipline. It is worth noting that in their cases, it was three years, as the Olympics held in Japan had to be postponed due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Similarly, Grace Brown, the champion in the women's time trial, now has a completely golden Lapierre Aerostorm. This bicycle model, adorned with a golden paint scheme and Lapierre's white logo, is equipped with high-end components that underline its strict competitive nature. Among them are a Dash saddle, Sync handlebar extensions for time trials, and Continental Aero 111 Aero tires, making it not only a symbol of her Olympic victory but also an excellent tool for sports performance.

Finally, the recent champion of the women's road race, Kristen Faulkner, has received a Cannondale LAB71 SuperSix Evo with an exclusive design that celebrates her triumph on the streets of Paris. The bicycle, personalized with a fusion of the colors of the American flag and golden accents, symbolizes both her Olympic title and her victory in her country's national championship.
