A Big Congratulations to RS Racing Team Captain Boon Kiat for Another National Championship Victory in Men’s Elite Road Racing
We are thrilled to celebrate our RS Racing team captain, Boon Kiat, on his remarkable victory at the 2024 National Championship in the Men’s Elite Road Racing category. With this latest win, Boon Kiat has secured his third consecutive National Championship title, achieving a well-deserved hat trick in this highly competitive discipline.
The 2024 race weekend was filled with intense competition, with many of the fastest riders vying for the top spot. Despite the challenges, Boon Kiat rose to the occasion and demonstrated his exceptional skill and resilience. What makes this victory even more impressive is the fact that he had limited time to adjust to his new bike.
Boon Kiat rode the latest Factor Ostro VAM V2, equipped with the RS Racing team’s custom colorway and the brand-new Black Inc 48||58 wheelset. According to him, the new bike and wheels significantly outperformed his previous setup, delivering superior handling and speed. He was also fitted with the Vittoria Corsa Pro 30c tires, and he praised the wider tire choice, noting that it not only provided enhanced comfort and speed but also improved aerodynamics as the tires seamlessly hugged the rim’s external width.
Boon Kiat’s humble demeanor and extraordinary dedication continue to inspire us all. His relentless pursuit of excellence sets a shining example for the cycling community. Once again, a heartfelt congratulations to Boon Kiat on this incredible achievement! We look forward to even greater successes in the future.
