THE STARTING POINT
: Every athlete is our starting point. Our design team enhances features and potential while respecting the best comfort zone to obtain 110% performance.
"We design the athlete's performance"
"Performance in race is at the heart of everything we do in cycling. With some of the brightest minds in design, technology and engineering we redefine the balance between athlete and bike to achieve the best results in professional competitions with a motorsport approach". "The primary focus lies in optimizing the athlete's performance enhancing the efficiency of his engine. It is not merely a drag reduction issue: we work on dynamic modeling to optimize the balance between multiple variables that influence the athlete's performance during the race".

OLYMPIC REVOLUTION
X23 is a distruptive concept, not only a bike.
RACING SPIRIT
The design leader of TOOT Racing Romolo Stanco together with the Computational Mechanics group of the University of Pavia directed by the engineer Gianluca Alaimo with the supervision of Prof. Ferdinando Auricchio found the solution. The code name is X23. After gigabyte of data, hour of tests and simulations, the TOOT Racing design team developed a parametric digital model that involves frameset, components and athlete. This is the key to being faster and more efficient in the race.

AERO BIKE? NO. BE AERO
THE AERO IMPROVEMENT: X23 SWANIGAMI is the bike with the lowest CDA of any current track bike. But this is not enough for our designers. The goal is to design a complex aerodynamic blended wing body to be faster. A low CdA bike is only the beginning to obtain the best aerodynamic performance. It's easy to think that the X23's aerodynamic quirks are the starting point for the entire bike design. It seems like an aerodynamically refined evolution of the THEFALCON, with a new wider fork and a flow deflector on the crown, the wide and high rear seatstay, the narrow tubes and the airfoil wing profiles at the limit of UCI rules. "The primary focus lies in optimizing the athlete's performance enhancing the efficiency of his engine. It is not merely a drag reduction issue: we work on dynamic modeling to optimize the balance between multiple variables that influence the athlete's performance during the race".
Same watts, more speed...
IT'S NOT GAINING, IT'S NOT LOSING. Marginal gain is a misnomer. Nobody makes you earn anything, nobody increases your speed for anything. But "not losing" watts is the primary purpose of the new KATHEENEENA transmission. More than 5% advantage over a conventional drivetrain. We don't create speed but we know how to allow you not to lose it.
Stiffness and traction optimization
"We can optimize the direction of the lines of force by balancing the 3D parametric frame design with the dynamic model of the athlete to improve traction and stiffness. Our engineers optimize the thickness and sizing of each part of the frame by designing the frame structures with dynamic FEA software, obtaining dedicated and unique 3D printed parts for every athlete".
KATHENEENA® WATT SAVER TRANSMISSION
The transmission is another element of large power losses due to mechanical friction. Thanks to a test bench and the collaboration of DID chain and Csoltmester, TOOT engineers compared different chain and chainring solutions.
BEYOND THE OBVIOUSNESS.
There are no "fast" wheels. We designed TOOT wheels to absorb as little of the athlete's engine power as possible. Smoothness of the bearings, stiffness, driveability, aerodynamics and low rolling resistance. The patented HOURGLASS profile and the thru-axle solution and clincher option are the way to increase your performance.
