The men's time trial class C4-5 track cycling event at the 2020 Summer Paralympics took place on 26 August 2021 at the Izu Velodrome, Japan. This combine class (C4-5) under classification C is for cyclists who have impairments that affect their legs, arms, and/or trunk but are still capable to use a standard bicycle. 21 cyclists from 15 nations competed in this event.^[1]

Competition format

The competition immediately starts off with the finals, where all 21 cyclists will be divided into their own heat individually (so 1 heat contains 1 cyclist). They will do a time trial basis where the fastest cyclist will win gold, the 2nd fastest a silver, and the 3rd fastest a bronze. The distance of this event is 1000m. Cyclists in class C4 can have a lesser-official time than their real-time due to the athletes factor where in class C4 the factor is 98.91% while C5 is 100.00%, so the time cyclist in class C5 get, will be their official time.
