Looks to be a hi-racer from the wee photo, but will be interesting to watch....
Not a program that I watch often, but when I do catch it, I notice the awful standard of testing. Not sure whether I should be excited or dreading it....
The hi-racer was an M5 carbon Hi-racer & was racing against that Storck £10k upwrong (Fascerino (sp?)).
I should have dreaded it: it was a terrible, terrible, terrible piece of television.
Apart from two people who'd not been on any sort of bike for some years comparing high-end bikes being quite a stupid set-up, they kept saying stupid things. I learnt that the hi-racer holds 8 speed records (so that wouldn't be the low racer then?), that a recumbent had made it up to a top speed of 33mph once (not sure how my 50mph ranks then), that the bent had 19 gears & various other stupid things.
It's also painful to watch someone start a 'bent by running along then dropping in to the seat inelegantly...
The "endurance" race (19 (yes, 19) laps of a c 250m go-kart track) was too embarrassing for words & why would anyone that unfit consider those sort of prices for a bike?
Still it was quite cool to see a 'bent on mainstream TV!
