Since 2011 for frames, and 2016 for wheels, the UCI has mandated that any of these items used in professional racing require inspection and approval from the world governing body. Every so often, a new list is posted, which can alert the eagle-eyed reader of new products we might see coming out soon.

Here are some highlights from the UCI’s latest posting.

Cannondale – Though it has been a few years since the Slice RS has been available to the public, the pros continue to still race them. Back in November, the UCI approved a disc brake version, which addresses one of the usual complaints about time trial/triathlon bikes. Adding discs also opens up the possibility of running a hydro/electronic group set with completely hidden brake lines and shifter cables.

Cervelo – The new R5 was spotted at the Dubai Tour in vinyl wrap to keep prying eyes from seeing some of its details. From what we can tell, there new version of Cervelo’s climbing bike has some new aerodynamic tube shapes, along with a difference seat post binder set in the back of the seat tube/seat stay junction.

Shimano – Along with releasing the Dura-Ace 9100 series drivetrain, they also simplified the wheel line from three to two models, the new C40 and C60. The new wheels features an updated and wider rim design that is said to be more aerodynamic than the 9000 series C50’s. The hubs are also wider to increase stiffness.

In the future, this list won’t be as long. Think of this post as your chance to get caught up from the last three or four months.
