We were at the 2020 National Hill Climb Championships to take a look at some of the wildest, maddest most ultra-lightweight tech to feature at this year's event.
Hill climb racing is all about your power-to-weight ratio and, while aero considerations come into play on longer or faster climbs, there are still potentially significant gains to be made by dropping weight from your bike.
Potential performance gains aside, dropping grams from your bike is also a lot of fun, and ogling the resulting builds is even more fun (and less harmful to your bank account than doing it yourself).
Which of these stealthy bikes makes you want to ride uphill as fast as possible? Would you like to try hill climbing? Let us know in the comments!
This video was filmed before Covid-19 lockdown restrictions in England. Some shots used are also from 2019 and 2018, before the pandemic.
