Sven Nys, who is due to retire at the end of the 2015/2016 ‘cross season, is a cyclocross legend. Although he’s taken just 2 world titles (can ‘just’ really apply to the quantity of world titles won?), he has won nearly every other ‘cross race there is to win, likely several times.
This year, he’s racing on board a fleet of neon yellow Trek Boones – some with discs, some without, some with single rings, some with a double chainset. In this profile we take a look at one of his ‘standard’, go-to machines; that is, one of the bikes with a double chainset and discs.

“certain occasions”
I thought it was a good, well presented video by a guy who obviously knows what he’s talking about. Don’t understand all the negativity.
If I would to do Cyclocross this is one of the bikes I would go for.
Now if Tom could only learn how to correctly pronounce Bontrager, we’d be set!
Can we have a pro CX mechanics truck video?
Very interesting bike, isn’t it Tom?
That’s lime. you’re gay.
Yesss yess yes!!
I think you should try to stare into the sun for all of your videos in the future.
tub, tub, tub, tubbies
no more disks!! they suck lol
first
can’t wait Koksijde
second
I thought Nys was using a prototype Shimano 1x with a ground down 53 tooth ring as a chain guard? Did he switch back or are they not letting you do a full review with that since its all in test?
I don’t understand why this frame isn’t using a 142 rear axle like the disc Domane frame. With no need to worry about fast wheel swaps in cross, surely one could benefit from the extra rigidity.
Nice bike! If you want to see the beauty of Italy from the handlebar of my bike,check my channel!!
what size is the frame?
Looking at this bike, I really don’t see why any non-pro rider couldn’t just have a set of road disk wheels to pop on this and be good to go as a road bike. Might just look a bit funky with the clearance but I’d happily ride and race with it
Tom Last. GCN gurning champion 2015.
Blimey the paint job is really bright. Even on dimmed mobile screen, its really blinding bright. But I like it.
Tom is by far the best of presenters at doing “bikes”, better than the three stooges 😉
You should send Tom off to cycling museums and get him to do the same on seriously antique/retro bikes. I think he would do well reviewing a 1924 TdF bike. Get him out there doing what he is good at. His enthusiasm and saying “cool” to a 60 year old bike would work well I think.
Give him his own spot. (no this is not Tom or any relative or friend)
Great Toms pro bike video
Test rode one of these two days ago. Absolutely fell in love with it. Great bike! Love the color on this one.
Lmfao at peeps who still use road group sets offroad.sram 1x for life
Interesting the DT Swiss hubs. I would have figured they’d be Bontrager as well
So sick of hi-vis!
i love toms pro bikes videos- i didn’t used to like toms vids, but now i really do!! :L
Tom, I love you, but it’s pronounced like a ghost says, Boo, with an “N” on the end. Trek’s CX bikes are Boone & Crockett—a bit of American history, a nod to hunting.
And Bontra-gur, not “jer.” Anyhow, thanks, as always, Tom. We’ll excuse your pronunciations.
what size frame does Sven ride?!?!
Can anybody buy me this f****** bike 😀
you can signal planes with that…
Love those frames
Tom, you say “about 72cm” for saddle height.. that’s too low for Sven’s height – 1,81m . he has it about 77cm (seen many other presentations of his pro bikes).
yup, Tom is the best presenter! 😉
