Are you wondering why you don't see road bikes like the fUCL in cycling races like the Tour de France? Due to the rigorous rules of the International Cycling Union (UCI), the umbrella body for the organization and classification of international cycling competitions, which also grants licenses to cyclists and adjudicates doping cases. Although the rules are set to ensure a level playing field for all cyclists, many believe they are holding back development. One such is the creative director of the Specialized brand, Robert Egger, who broke the rules with his latest concept and produced a futuristic road bike called 'Eff You See Eye', or fUCI, which frankly says (you can only guess once what it means ' f'), what does he think about the relationship.
Specialized fUCI is a study of the road bicycle which doesn't play by the rules, as he whistles at UCI rules and violates literally everything on the list. He stands behind this "disobedient" roadie creative director the renowned cycling brand Specialized Robert Egger. He starts breaking the rules already at 33.3-inch rear wheel for which the UCI would immediately give him a red light, as both wheels must be the same size. A bigger wheel that serves as a flywheel, is intended to make it easier to maintain speed, but it is therefore necessary to invest much more effort to get the bike into motion. As a result, Specialized built what Egger says is the equivalent of a car turbo into the hub. brushless hub motor, which is powered by lithium battery. So it is an e-bike.

Even any kind aerodynamic accessories they belong on the UCI's "black list", and the fUCI doesn't care much about that either. Even the frame of the bike would fail the test, so o motorcycle visor we don't speak at all. What a bike for the 21st century connected to a smartphone. Once you insert it into the charging (!) station on the handlebars, you can instantly access many functions (you can plan a route, check tire pressure, etc.). Will this study that is created for people who love speed, but they do not necessarily compete, it is not yet known when they went into series production. Egger "justifies" the product with the fact that The UCI "Code" touching a very tiny population, while there are a large number of riders who care very little about their rules and they don't even know the strict restrictions on bicycles. So he designed a bike for someone who just wants to go fast.
