When every second counts. Triathlon and time trial bikes are built for competition, combining pure aero performance with the control and comfort you need to race against the clock. Aerodynamic handlebar extensions and aggressive, forward geometry put you in a low, streamlined position to help you crank out higher speeds with less effort.
Key Characteristics of an Triathlon Bike
Triathlon and time trial bikes stand alone in their single-minded mission to reduce aerodynamic drag and achieve maximum speed. Every tube and junction on the frameset is shaped to slice through wind with watt-saving efficiency.
A triathlon or time trial bike typically has deep-section rims, and sometimes full disc wheels, to minimize drag while maximizing your speed and efficiency.
A triathlon or time trial bike typically has steep, aggressive geometry to give you a forward and low position that will optimize aerodynamics. Adjustability at the armrests and seatpost lets you customize your position for aero performance and comfort.
Staying nourished and hydrated is critical in a triathlon, but it can be a challenge when you are trying to stay tucked into an aerodynamic position. Modern triathlon bikes often come equipped with an integrated hydration and fueling system that provides easy access while racing.
