The Trek Boone 9 of Sven Nys
Belgian cyclocross superstar Sven Nys captured another win at the 2014 CrossVegas and we took a closer look at his Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 equipped Trek Boone 9 as it got darker in Las Vegas and the party at this Interbike social highlight started to reach a fever pitch.
Sven Nys was the favorite and this Boone 9 was one of several bikes he brought to the Sin City.

Shimano CX70 brakes on the Trek IsoSpeed carbon fork do the stopping. Nys rode Bontrager Aeolus 3 wheels front and back.

Nys opted to race cantilever brake bikes in Vegas and kept the disc ones aside.
The frame is ready for a variety of drivetrain systems.
The XTR pedals seem to be modified and Nys rides 48/39 chainrings.
The saddle is a Bontrager Serano RXL and the seat post setup is the same as on the Madone.
Sven Nys is a Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 man.
Not surprisingly, Nys is on a Bontrager cockpit. The headtube tapers from 1.5 to 1 1/8.

Yup, these are indeed the wheels of the man.
