SHINee Minho's "Black Devil" Bicycle with Aero Bars Captures Attention

SHINee's Minho recently garnered significant attention for his new bicycle, affectionately nicknamed "Black Devil," which features distinctive "horn-like" aero bars. This high-performance cycle was revealed on MBC's "I Live Alone," sparking curiosity among viewers and cycling enthusiasts about its unique design and purpose. The buzz stems from Minho's passionate introduction of his "treasure number one" and his dedication to triathlon training.

The bicycle, identified as a Scott Foil RC 10, is a carbon road bike designed for speed and aerodynamic performance, crucial for triathlon races. Its "horns" are technically called TT bars or aero bars, which allow riders to adopt a low, aerodynamic posture to minimize wind resistance during long, high-speed stretches. Minho explained he acquired it as essential equipment for completing an Ironman triathlon. The Scott Foil RC 10 features an FOIL RC Disc HMX carbon frame, electronic Shimano Ultegra Di2 24-speed shifting system, and internal cable routing, contributing to its sleek, aggressive silhouette. Its price typically ranges from several million Korean Won, with the specific Scott Foil RC 10 model priced at 10.3 million KRW.

Local bloggers expressed fascination with the bicycle's striking appearance and high-performance specifications, noting its distinctiveness from ordinary road bikes. Many were particularly intrigued by the "horn-like" aero bars and the bike's suitability for professional-level triathlons. The revelation that TV personality Jun Hyun-moo also owns the same model added to the public's interest, highlighting the bike's appeal even among non-professional riders who appreciate high-end cycling gear. Bloggers also pointed out the significant investment required for such a specialized piece of equipment.
