Jimmy Johnsen in Australia

Jimmy is spending the winter in Australia, at the time being in Melbourne together with Gregory Farrell. After a not so good Hawaii trip and with some achille problems, he had a great start overhere, winning the first Xosize series race and the Half Ironman Shepparton, with a blistering bike performance (2.08). Now we hope he will recover well from his injury to be in full shape for the upcoming Ironman in Busselton.

He will soon also run a training camp combined with Xosize, details will follow

EROX - New Swim and wetsuit Sponsor for Snap Ironman 70.3 Geelong

EROX Australia is proud to announce its involvement the inaugural Snap Ironman 70.3 Geelong event as the swim leg and wetsuit sponsors of the race. EROX is increasing their support of triathlon events as well as athletes and feel that this is a great opportunity to be a part of such an exciting race. EROX has shown presence in triathlon, especially with the Cellsphere wetsuit, and they will be there to provide competitors with test wetsuits to find out first hand why this wetsuit is proving to be the fastest wetsuit on the market.

We made a dream a reality – a cycling group set reduce watts robbing drag.

EROX introduce the fastest and finest cycling group set, made with carbon fibre and cnc alloy parts. The brand new combination of shifter, rear and front derailleur and titanium coated chain are not out of reach bike parts full of gadgets you can’t get or can’t afford. These parts are all attainable. Our competitor speaks about aerodynamic, this homework we did 3 years ago but we found our triathletes need something to reduce friction during their pedalling to get more watt with the same power.

 

 

 

Erox Disc Wheel - Coming in early 2008

The aerodynamic wheel has spun into the mainstream market in the past few years. Now Erox has made aero wheels more affordable and user friendly than ever before. For example the brand new feather light disc, with a cross-like protruding surface, claims to reduce crosswind and generate airflow more effectively than a normal flat disc.

 

Developed in the wind tunnel with the newest research regarding crosswind.( during cycling the rider has more than 80 % crosswind). The combination of single with multi layer technology is used for the first time in a disc wheel. This reduces the effects of road vibration. The new disc has an extremely lateral stiffness by allowing power to be directed to the pavement.

 

Best aerodynamic, feather light and maximum stiffness with special anti vibration provide Erox all the features off a new generation of disc wheel. Other advantages are the combination of a single layer with the aerodynamic raised surface protects against incoming water.

The Erox ultra disc is available for 19-23 mm tubular tyres, Shimano, Campa or track body. Four sealed bearings (ceramic optional) weight 1100 g

 

New EROX hubs also with ceramic bearings

Ceramic ball bearings weigh up to 40% less than steels balls, depending on size. This reduces centrifugal loading and skidding, so hybrid ceramic bearings can operate 20% to 40% faster than conventional bearings. This means that the ball exerts less force outward against the outer race groove as the bearing spins. This reduction in outward force reduces the friction and rolling resistance. The lighter ball allows the bearing to rev up faster, and uses less energy to maintain it speed.

Erox wheels: you can get the black standard hubs or with up charge the red ceramic hubs.
