He\u2019s riding a lightweight Studio NEXT version of the V-PRi, which combines sterling aerodynamics with light weight \u2013 the frame and fork weigh in at 1,900 g. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/slowtwitch.com\/triathlon\/sam-laidlows-shows-his-maturity-and-tech-savvy-during-kona-lead-up\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Like Sam Laidlow<\/a>, H\u00f8genhaug\u2019s extensive testing led him to go up a size for his V-PRi \u2013 he had originally planned to ride a medium, but found that a large was faster based on his riding position.<\/p>\n<p>H\u00f8genhaug worked extensively with Drag2Zero to dial in both the perfect fit and the best combination of aero components for his V-PRi. That includes the Drag2Zero.66 Pole System extensions. <\/p>\n<p>The Danish speedster will also be using Shimano\u2019s new Dura-Ace wheels, running the C-60 on the front and the pro-only C-99 rear for his journey to Hawi. <\/p>\n<p>While H\u00f8genhaug\u2019s season hasn\u2019t seen the impressive results we saw from 2025 (runner-up at the IRONMAN European Championship Frankfurt and IRONMAN Lake Placid), H\u00f8genhaug finished ninth here in Kona the last time the men raced here. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1125\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/C6307-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-89151\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>DrivetrainDrivetrain \/ GroupsetShimano1x \/ 2x1xCrank Length165Front Chain Ring60Rear Cassette-Power MeterCrankWheels &amp; TiresWheel BrandShimanoWheel ModelDura-AceFront Wheel Depth60mmRear Wheel Depth100mmTiresContinental Grand Prix TT TR 28 mmTire Pressure (Front)-Tire Pressure (Rear)-Cockpit &amp; SetupBase BarQuintana RooAero BarsDrag2ZeroFront BTAAeroGain Aero BTARear BTSEZ Hydro-GainsComputerWahoo ELEMNTContact PointsSaddleWove V8PedalsShimano SPD-SL<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/6H8A9740.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-89156\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/6H8A9752.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-89158\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/6H8A9755.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-89161\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/6H8A9759.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-89162\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC06030.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-89172\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>                                            Tags:<a class=\"st-chip st-chip-primary st-chip-tag-cloud\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slowtwitch.com\/tag\/ironman-world-championship\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IRONMAN World Championship<\/a><a class=\"st-chip st-chip-primary st-chip-tag-cloud\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slowtwitch.com\/tag\/kona-2026\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kona 2026<\/a><a class=\"st-chip st-chip-primary st-chip-tag-cloud\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slowtwitch.com\/tag\/kristian-hogenhaug\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kristian Hogenhaug<\/a><a class=\"st-chip st-chip-primary st-chip-tag-cloud\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slowtwitch.com\/tag\/quintana-roo\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Quintana Roo<\/a>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Denmark\u2019s Kristian H\u00f8genhaug is know for his attention to detail on all things aero on his bike, and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":927195,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[445],"tags":[49,48,635,82],"class_list":["post-927194","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-cycling","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/927194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=927194"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/927194\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/927195"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=927194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=927194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=927194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
