Innovation, development and results

Since signing the technical sponsorship agreement, Gobik and the INEOS Grenadiers have worked together with surgical precision to optimize the aerodynamics and performance of the specific time trial garments.

The Singularity 2.0 is the product of 30 prototypes developed throughout the season in collaboration with both INEOS Grenadiers and Gobik’s technical teams with the goal to have the final version ready for this year’s Tour de France where every second counts.

The development process has involved Gobik attending all test sessions with INEOS Grenadiers and then further refining through weekly review meetings between both technical teams. Every time trial suit has been custom designed to fit each rider.

Real impact in competition

The improvements achieved with Singularity 2.0 range from 2%-5%, which is a significant advantage in the time trial. In the first time trial of the Giro d’Italia, four of the top five riders were from INEOS Grenadiers using the previous version of the suit, and in the second time trial, Filippo Ganna emerged victorious with the latest version.

Conclusion

The Singularity 2.0 puts Gobik and INEOS Grenadiers at the pinnacle of innovation and excellence in cycling. This time trial suit, the result of precision engineering and uncompromising performance, is poised to lead the INEOS Grenadiers team to become a benchmark in the time trial discipline.
