Bas van der Kooij and David Wielemaker did set new worldsprintrecords on their M5 recumbents. | |||||
) Bas cornering at top speedIt was the just 15 year old Bas van der Kooij of Maassluis near Rotterdam who amazed all of the spectators at Omnisport Track. Bas set a new world speedrecord on his M5 Cr-Mo steel Low Racer. Time was 11.523 seconds which results in a speed of 62.484 km/h or 38,834 mile per hour average. These are speeds which are even hard to catch for most of the adult "top of the bill" riders. It's sure fantastic to have such great young talent among us on the track. On sunday we saw the start of an official hourrecordattempt of again Bas cancelled through a new but braking KMC chain. After riding for more then half an hour the average speed was not less then 48 km/h (30 miles) The current worldhourrecordhoulder Aurelien Bonneteau from Bordeaux, France had a off weekend. On saturday the speed just stucked under his present record (some 250 meters). while on sunday his covered distance was only 33 meters less then his official record.... Thanks to the SRM system we know that it was his tired body which caused this. The data showed an extremely good power input versus achieved speed for the M5 Carbon High Racer. Nieuwkomer Pieter Hollebrandse (ook met standaard M5 Carbon High Racer) uit Den Haag perste er op zaterdag in zijn allereerste uurrecord een geweldige 51,4 km uit waarmee hij nota bene nog wat sneller was dan Aurelien zijn zaterdagse poging. Fresh new starter Pieter Hollebrandse (also with a standard M5 Carbon High Racer was setting a very impressing 51,4 km ( 31,945 miles ) on the hour at his first time ever attempt. Chapeau! He also beat Aurelien on saturday with some tens of meters. In the adult group David Wielemaker on a M5 Carbon Low Racer did a very strong standing kilometer in a new worldrecordtime of 1:06,517 which results in a speed of 54,122 km average ( 33,637 mph average ) | |||||

) The M-Racer is the latest model by M5 Recumbents. It's manufactured from the reliable Chrome Molybdenum steel and uses years of development and optimization of previous M5 successes. Renowned are the world record machines like the M5 Low and High Racers. With the arrival of the hybrid M-Racer the best properties of both types are united in one model. As far back as august 2004 the concept for the M-Racer was established in the M5 Carbon Medium Racer (the one with Bram's greyhound painting). Will be available early next year Specifications M-Racer
