New parts and modifications grabbed our attention on the first bike to be ridden to a stage victory at the 2023 Tour de France cycling
Yates appears to opt for 54/40T chainrings most often, and an 11/34T cassette at the back. From what we've seen, this is by far the most common choice for riders using Shimano.
The 170mm cranks are paired with this 54T ring with aluminium teeth, carbon body and titanium elements which weighs in at 112g. That sounds pretty impressive, until you realise that the Dura-ace ring weighs just 4 grams more at 116 grams. Let's hope it shifts just as well!The wheels in question are Enve's SES 4.5 wheels which have a claimed weight of 1,452g.
Mounted to all of them are Wahoo cycle computers, and Yates opts for the latest Wahoo Roam at the end of his 130mm-long stem. The Enve stem seamlessly integrates with the V4Rs frame thanks to a custom 3D-printed headset cap. Despite the name 'sprint shifters', Yates proves that the additional buttons aren't just for the heavy hitters of the bunch finishes, and rather for anyone who wants the additional shifting option when riding in the drops.
Dura-Ace pedals adorn all the UAE bikes that we spotted, but one thing that isn't Shimano is the brake rotors. These come from the boutique Italian brand CarbonTi, and as the name suggests have semi-floating carbon carriers, a steel braking surface and titanium rivets to hold them together. Yates' rotors measured 160mm at the front and 140mm at the rear.
