Well, no one was expecting this! The Specialized SL8 is here with a full house of lighter, stiffer, more aero and more compliant claims… cycling
Specialized has attempted to demonstrate how much lighter the SL8 is in the image below. The frame on the right is the SL7, minus how much material you'd need to take away to make it as light as the SL8 frame .
Hopefully, the Specialized Aethos and Crux have proven that a very light bike doesn't necessarily mean overly fragile.Even Specialized's best optimists , admit that saving this surprisingly large amount of weight results in fairly minor time savings, and the press release includes the graph above. Most bike manufacturers are fairly limited when it comes to wind tunnel time, with some of the smaller brands relying purely on CFD to make calculations on how a product will perform in the real world when it comes to aerodynamics.
, the new head tube is, for all intents and purposes, a nose cone. It's also much thinner at the front than many other road bike headtubes out there. On a completely unrelated note... how cool does this flow vis paint look? Inspired by F1 aero testing, the reason for liberally spraying the frame with green paint is so Specialized engineers can visualise what the air is doing when it hits a surface, hence the term flow vis. We might start a petition for Specialized to release a special edition frameset with a flow vis-inspired paintjob.
Picking up the bike is an instant party piece. The SRAM Red AXS-equipped bike that we were let loose on weighs just 6.6kg, with plenty of scope for further weight savings: shallower wheels and TPU tubes instead of the butyl ones the bike comes with, for starters.

Guideline on multimodal rehabilitation for patients with post-intensive care syndrome - Critical CareBackground Intensive Care Unit (ICU) survivors often experience several impairments in their physical, cognitive, and psychological health status, which are labeled as post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). The aim of this work is to develop a multidisciplinary and -professional guideline for the rehabilitative therapy of PICS. Methods A multidisciplinary/-professional task force of 15 healthcare professionals applied a structured, evidence-based approach to address 10 scientific questions. For each PICO-question (Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome), best available evidence was identified. Recommendations were rated as “strong recommendation”, “recommendation” or “therapy option”, based on Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation principles. In addition, evidence gaps were identified. Results The evidence resulted in 12 recommendations, 4 therapy options, and one statement for the prevention or treatment of PICS. Recommendations: early mobilization, motor training, and nutrition/dysphagia management should be performed. Delirium prophylaxis focuses on behavioral interventions. ICU diaries can prevent/treat psychological health issues like anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorders. Early rehabilitation approaches as well as long-term access to specialized rehabilitation centers are recommended. Therapy options include additional physical rehabilitation interventions. Statement: A prerequisite for the treatment of PICS are the regular and repeated assessments of the physical, cognitive and psychological health in patients at risk for or having PICS. Conclusions PICS is a variable and complex syndrome that requires an individual multidisciplinary, and multiprofessional approach. Rehabilitation of PICS should include an assessment and therapy of motor-, cognitive-, and psychological health impairments.
