On’s flagship marathon racer just got its first major update in two years, and demand outstripped supply within a day. The On Cloudboom Strike 2 and its LightSpray sibling launched in the UK on 30 July 2026 at £230 — and as of writing, every size across all three colourways shows “no items left in…
The ASICS GT-1000 15 Has Launched The ASICS GT-1000 15 is now available, and it turns out our preview coverage called it correctly: this is an iterative refinement of the GT-1000 14 rather than a ground-up redesign. It keeps the same accessible price point and stability-focused ride that has made the GT-1000 line a go-to…
Triathlon is one of the only endurance sports where you can genuinely buy free speed — aerodynamic drag accounts for the large majority of the resistance you’re fighting at typical race speeds on a flat or rolling course, far more than rolling resistance or your own weight. Here’s what actually matters when a bike or…
Almost every new triathlon and road bike sold today comes with disc brakes, but a lot of perfectly good rim-brake bikes are still out there — including plenty in active use by triathletes who bought before the switch became universal. If you’re choosing between the two, or wondering whether to upgrade, here’s what the difference…
Every GPS watch box lists a battery figure — “up to 30 hours in GPS mode,” or a multi-day smartwatch figure that sounds nothing like the number you get once you’re actually training with it switched on. Here’s what those numbers really mean, and where the gap between the spec sheet and reality comes from….

If you own a current COROS watch, here’s what’s actually new and why it matters for…
Race morning is the wrong time to discover a new pair of cycling shoes rubs, or that your cleats are angled just enough off to irritate your knee by the second lap. Both shoes and cleats need a proper break-in period, and rushing it — or skipping it entirely — is a common, entirely avoidable…
Turning up to a hilly bike course with the same gearing you use for a flat sprint triathlon is one of the more avoidable ways to blow up your run. Gear ratio — the relationship between your chainring and cassette sizes — determines how hard you have to push on every climb, and getting it…
A triathlon wetsuit is one of the more expensive items in your kit bag, and neoprene degrades faster than most athletes realise if it’s rinsed carelessly or left folded in a damp bag. A five-minute routine after every swim adds years to a wetsuit’s working life — here’s exactly what to do. Rinse Immediately After…
However you feel about the end of race season, your wetsuit and bike will feel worse about it if you just shove them in the garage until spring. Neoprene cracks, drivetrains seize, and electronic groupset batteries drain to nothing over a few unattended months — none of which is expensive to prevent, but all of…
