<\/a><\/p>\nSchoeman stunned the triathlon world, and his nation, when he romped home to win an Olympic bronze medal in Rio and proved that was no fluke with his first WTS victory at the Grand Finale in Cozumel, earning him the status as triathlon\u2019s breakout star of 2016.<\/p>\n
<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nOn Wednesday night he spoke about his and SwiftCarbon\u2019s partnership over the last year, \u201cI have really enjoyed working with the guys. It\u2019s really great that I can give feedback on the bikes and it finds its way into future versions of the models that anyone can ride.\u201d Schoeman gets a special touch to his rig for the upcoming season \u2013 a custom paint scheme featuring his HS logo, bronze decals and national flag detailing on the seat stays and fork blades. \u201cThe frame is production standard, but the design is special: to commemorate his big successes in 2016 and for Henri to represent his nation proudly with a cool looking bike,\u201d says founder Mark Blewett, himself a South African.<\/p>\n
Schoeman rode a Hypervox throughout the 2016 season, \u201cIt\u2019s designed as an aero bike, which suits the kind of racing we do, but it\u2019s actually pretty smooth too. With the road surfaces we often have to ride on \u2013 like in Stockholm and Rio \u2013 you really don\u2019t want to feel beaten up by your bike before the run. On the tight circuits you are constantly accelerating and braking so having a bike that handles well is so important, plus you want every watt going onto the road.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite his humble demeanor, the 25-year-old has high ambitions in the sport. His goal \u2013 the world championship. He\u2019s certainly shown he has what it takes. Firstly, he has an all-powerful weapon \u2013 one of the strongest swims in the sport. His tactical finesse on the bike is that of a seasoned road pro and in 2016 he\u2019s come on leaps and bounds with his run. \u201cHe\u2019s got a target on his back now! I can\u2019t wait to see how he goes in the next two seasons,\u201d says Blewett.<\/p>\n At the heart of Schoeman\u2019s new rig is SwiftCarbon\u2019s range-topping Hypervox frame featuring a Toray and Mitsubishi-Rayon composite matrix, tuned to be rigid around the head tube and BB area and compliant at the rear seat stays. Parts spec includes Shimano Dura Ace Di2 with Rotor cranks, Mavic wheels, Schwalbe tyres and some special CeramicSpeed parts and bearings. See full details below.<\/p>\n Production Hypervox frames and complete builds are available on swiftcarbon.com<\/a> \u2013 the brand\u2019s main retail channel in their direct-to-consumer business model.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
