NOW AVAILABLE! NEW HOURGLASS® WHEELSET
Everything you've ever imagined on a wheel has been rewritten by the designers and engineers of TOOT RACING ENGINEERING with the support of Bianca Advanced Innovations and COMPMECH of the University of Pavia.
A mythical place, the bowl of cycling's most spectacular challenges deserves components dedicated to performance and marginal gain.
Over the years TOOT RACING has developed projects conceived, designed and tested especially for the track.
Disruptive ideas, high level engineering, advanced manufacturing and race tests, wind tunnel sessions and dynamic tests: this is the mix that allows TOOT to hit the target and offer to each pistard the most specific and effective components for his/her activities.

TRACK HANDLEBARS
ASHEETA 3D
Aero ergonomic superstiff bunch races dropbar
Designed by Romolo Stanco, developed and patented by Bianca Advanced Innovation, engineered by CompMech UniPv and 3dProtolab. Ergonomy, handling and stffness are the keypoint of ASHAA handlebar, the bunch bar used by Olympics and world champions. Handmade in carbon 3K it's the perfect balance between aerodynamic positions and driveability in the bunch races and in the madison races.
The steel one offers a stiffness value of 361N/mm^3: if you know the meaning of this number, get yours immediately. If you are curious check the details of the stiffest bar on the market.
SWANINECK STEM
Parametric 3D printed aeroblade high stack stem
Designed by Romolo Stanco, developed and patented by Bianca Advanced Innovation, engineered by CompMech UniPv and 3dProtolab. SWANINECK stem brings the aerodynamic and postural solutions tested with the SWANIGAMI handlebar, leaving the athlete the possibility to choose the cockpit he prefers. SWANINECK is custom designed (angle, length) precisely defining the position that the athlete wants to hold within the limits of the regulation. Its shape allows you to raise the stack by up to 15 cm without compromising super stiffness.
The steel one offers a an incredible stiffness and our engineers can define the mechanical features in order to follow the athlete's needs.
ASHAA E3 CARBON
Aero ergonomic superstiff bunch races dropbar
One of the most successful handlebars on the track in the last three years. Aaron Gate, Fabio Van Den Boscche and many top class athletes won with ASHAA. Super-stiff and ergonomic, it allows different positions depending on the moment of the race.
Patented.

SWANIGAMI 3D BUNCH
Brings TT position in bunch races without shortcuts
The design takes advantage of the latest rules from UCI to offer you the best position for endurance races. Every handlebar can be customized on your needs.
Olympic and world champions athletes approved.
TRACK WHEELS
HOURGLASS HG95T
Trispoke monocoque wheel. 95mm hourglass® patented rim tubular or clincher
Front or rear available. Front wheel 12x100 thru axle
HOURGLASS is a monocoque three-spoke wheel with a UDROP® rim profile that takes the section over 30mm, offering an open surface designed to keep the flow away from the spokes and fast rotating parts. In this way, a 21% reduction in aerodynamic resistance is obtained compared to a trispoke with a linear profile rim, obtaining a performance very similar to a front lenticular wheel but more drivable and less subject to side winds.
HOURGLASS HG95 Disc
Hollow carbon zero coating disc wheel Hourglass® patented shape tubular or clincher
Front or rear available. Front wheel 12x100 thru axle
Through extensive CFD simulations and Wind tunnel tests utilizing digital twins, we've optimized the rim section design to drastically reduce air resistance. This, in turn, significantly reduces aerodynamic weight and contributes to a lowered CdA, making this high rim wheel remarkably easy to handle and lightweight.
ALIEN TRIPOD
Trispoke monocoque wheel. 71mm rim tubular or clincher
Front or rear available. Front wheel 12x100 thru axle
TRIPOD is a monocoque three-spoke wheel with a UDROP® rim profile that takes the section over 30mm, offering an open surface designed to keep the flow away from the spokes and fast rotating parts. In this way, a 21% reduction in aerodynamic resistance is obtained compared to a trispoke with a linear profile rim, obtaining a performance very similar to a front lenticular wheel but more drivable and less subject to side winds. The visible TeXtreme® 12K carbon construction also enhances the use of composite materials of technical and aesthetic value. Tubular and Clincher (TR also) available
ALIEN AREA 51
Aero shape disc wheel tubular or clincher
Front wheel available in standard 9mm axle or 12x100 thru axle.
AREA51 is a newly developed lenticular with an asymmetrical NURBS profile and a double rounded shape on the longitudinal axis of the wheel. This "shape" improves aerodynamic efficiency by 18% compared to a linear profile lenticular and makes it easier to ride at high speed by minimizing surface turbulence. The visible TeXtreme® 12K carbon construction also enhances the use of composite materials of technical and aesthetic value forgotten by the industrial world.
HOURGLASS HG65 24"
Trispoke monocoque wheel 24" for stayer bike. 65mm hourglass® patented rim tubular.
Front wheel available in standard 9mm axle or 12x100 thru axle.
Made of “zero coating®” high modulus carbon fiber, the HG65STAYER represents the most advanced stayer front wheel on the market. The tubular tire bad can also accommo- date 28mm tires for greater grip and smoothness and an important increase in comfort.
DRIVETRAIN
MEGALOS CHAINRING
7075 T6 superstiff chainrings Low friction coating
For more than four years, TOOT RACING technicians have been experimenting with different solutions regarding drivetrain performance. Experimental data collected in the laboratory demonstrates that the efficiency of the drivetrain on the track bike can even approach 90%. This means that 10% of the pedal power does not reach the wheel due to mechanical deformation or friction. The designers' choice after many comparative tests rewarded large diameter chainrings to reduce friction and minimize the polygonal effect of the chain. The Ergal used is of the aerospace category and the hard oxidation treatment represents the best ally for traction efficiency.

Aero track skinsuit developed by Bianca Advanced Innovations and Compmech Pavia University

COGNEX TRACK COG
Stainless steel track cog with low friction finishing
The transmission of power on the sprocket must balance the reduced number of teeth with an important polygonal effect when using teeth smaller than 14T and the smoothness of the chain. The work of the development team in the laboratory has made it possible to optimize the shape of the tooth to reduce friction and choose stainless steel as the optimal solution between stiffness and reduction of friction. COGNEX makes it possible to reduce the power loss of the drivetrain system by 3% with the same chain and ratio.
TRACK CHAINS
The racing pro chain from Daido (DID), Made in Osaka, Japan.
The DID chain is made from plated steel and uses Daido’s patented ‘Die Hard’ pin treatment.
