Track bike and fixed

You can't ride just any racing bike, but you need a track bike.

This type of bicycle must be light and rigid, generally made of carbon (frame and wheels) and has several features, the main ones being the following:

• It is equipped with a fixed sprocket, without a freewheel or derailleur, which forces the cyclist to pedal continuously to maintain movement and avoid stopping or losing balance.
• It does not have brakes.
• The minimum weight allowed for the bicycle, established by the International Cycling Union, is 6.8 kg.
• The rigidity of the frame is essential to ensure better management of stress during acceleration.
