Focus mechanics set a new world record for wheel changes!
Florian Vogel's mechanic set a new world record for wheel changes at the World Cup race in Albstadt. Fabian Haug needed just 13.3 seconds to remove or install the rear wheel. The previous unofficial world record was just over 18 seconds, set at the World Cup in Lenzerheide by Nino Schurter's mechanic, Yanick Gyger.
The special quick-release axle on the Focus bike is probably also responsible for the quick change. The "Rapid Axle Technology" developed by Focus itself enables these quick wheel changes thanks to the unique locking system.
The wheel change is available as a video in the replay of the livestream at 52:10 min.
