Nice wheels. What’s the deal?

This, buddy, is a smart bicycle for road warriors. SpeedX is touting it as the world’s “first ever smart aero road bike”. In a nutshell, it’s a lightweight (7.9kg) two-wheel ride with a built-in GPS bike computer.

Hmm, tell me about the computer.

The SpeedX Smart Control? Well, it utilises seven built-in sensors, automatically records ride data, and delivers real-time feedback via its 2.4-inch, half-translucent, high-def display (visible in sunlight). Data capture includes speed, GPS trajectory, cadence, distance, altitude, calories and the weather.

Is there an app?

Aye, SpeedX. Via this, you can save, share and analyse ride data, as well as challenge other SpeedX users via the online leaderboards. You can also plan cycling routes and get turn-by-turn navigation via the Smart Control. The XCoach function is also on hand to offer pro-training regimes and challenges.

Now tell me about the bike itself.

SpeedX says the Leopard Pro has a “Lamborghini-strength body”, made of T1000 military-grade carbon fibre. It features a race-ready Shimano 105 drivetrain, TRP fully internal brakes, a Fizik Arione R7 saddle, a 50mm wheel set and Vittoria Rubino tyres. The Leopard Pro also has an integrated cycling dock so that you can access the lights and camera.

Sweet! When’s it out?

The Leopard Pro (with frame sizes from 42cm to 75cm) is available for pre-order, with shipping to begin this July. A standard version of the bike (the Leopard) is also available.
