Bike90min+IntermediateSession Overview A long, steady outdoor ride built specifically to train your gut to handle higher carbohydrate intake, using a stepped fuelling schedule rather than fuelling “by feel”. Best used as a rehearsal for long-course race nutrition, ideally with the exact products you plan to use on race day. What You’ll Need 2-3 bottles of…
The Elite Suito T is the cassette-free variant of Elite’s long-running Suito direct-drive trainer — one of the most widely reviewed compact smart trainers on the market. Where the Rivo prioritises size and a low price, the Suito T prioritises proven ride feel and data accuracy, backed by years of reviews from DC Rainmaker, BikeRadar,…
The Elite Rivo is Elite’s compact, budget-friendly direct-drive smart trainer, built to get triathletes onto Zwift or MyWhoosh with the smallest possible footprint. We’ve cross-checked the specs against reviews from BikeRadar, road.cc and DC Rainmaker to see whether it’s worth a spot in your turbo trainer setup for winter 2026. What Is the Elite Rivo?…
Bike90min+AdvancedSession Overview A structured indoor bike session for athletes in Ironman build, using stepped power increases through a long ride to rehearse holding — and slightly building — effort as fatigue accumulates, rather than riding at one flat wattage for four hours. Best done on a turbo where you can hold precise power targets. What…
Overview DT Swiss’s ARC 1100 Dicut range is a genuine aero wheelset built with wind-tunnel-led rim shapes rather than a road wheel dressed up as an aero option, and the 80mm depth is the deepest of the three profiles (80mm, 62mm and 48mm) — the one most triathletes and time-triallists reach for on flat, fast…
Overview Most saddle roundups treat “women’s saddle” as a single afterthought category, so it’s worth a dedicated look at Selle Italia’s SLR Boost Lady Superflow — a proper race saddle built around a wider central cutout and sit-bone-matched width options, not just a unisex saddle in a different colour. Key Specs Weight — around 198g…
Overview Garmin’s Rally range puts a dual-sided power meter directly in the pedal axle, and the XC200 is the SPD (mountain-bike cleat) version — useful for triathletes who train on an indoor bike or gravel bike with SPD cleats and want the same power data across every bike, without needing separate cleats for different pedal…
Overview Ultegra Di2 R8100 sits directly below Dura-Ace Di2 R9200 in Shimano’s electronic road groupset range, and above the newer 105 Di2 R7150. For triathletes weighing up an electronic upgrade, it’s the tier most people actually land on: nearly all of Dura-Ace’s shifting feel and features, at a meaningfully lower price. We’ve gone through what’s…
Overview Speedplay’s lollipop-style pedal system moved to Wahoo when it acquired the brand, and the Zero remains the flagship model — a dual-sided-entry road pedal built around one of the lowest stack heights on the market. For triathletes riding an aggressive aero position, that low stack height is the whole appeal: it lets you run…
BikeRunSwim90min+AdvancedSession Overview A field test day benchmarks all three disciplines in a single day so your training zones are reset against current fitness rather than numbers from three months ago. It’s a big day — space the three tests out with proper recovery between them, and treat this as a standalone testing block rather than…
