you can go 140mm now (if you are tall enough), 5cm width (up from 4cm) on the extensions also lets a decent bit more of a fairing effect. nothing mindblowing but it is going to make people faster

1.93m tall too, the guy is an absolute unit. Supposedly it was around 450w! Definitely puts an interesting spin on the folks 'making' 2kw on the trainer and hitting around 12s flying 200s too.
