Understanding TT and Triathlon Bikes
While similar in appearance, triathlon and pure time trial bikes have subtle differences. Triathlon bikes feature slightly steeper seat tube angles to preserve leg muscles for the run, while TT bikes prioritise pure cycling speed without considering what comes after.
Key features of TT/Tri bikes:
- Integrated aero bars for tucked position
- Deep-section or disc wheels
- Aggressive seat tube angles (76-78??)
- Hydration and storage integration
- Minimal frontal area design
Who Should Ride a TT/Tri Bike?
These bikes suit triathletes of all levels, time trialists, and riders who compete in non-drafting events. If you race Ironman, Olympic distance, or club time trials, a dedicated TT bike offers significant speed advantages over a road bike with clip-on bars.
Why Buy Used?
TT and triathlon bikes represent substantial investments new. Many find their way to the second-hand market barely used, as riders upgrade or step back from competition. This creates opportunities to access race-winning aerodynamics at accessible prices.
