Front-mounted aero hydration puts a bottle between your arms in the aerobar position, cutting drag versus a frame-mounted bottle and keeping fluid within easy reach without sitting up. It’s a staple on TT and triathlon bikes at every level. Two of the longest-running systems on the market are the XLAB Torpedo and the Profile Design…
Endura built its AllTrack Ride collection around a simple idea: one set of kit that works for road, gravel and everything in between. For triathletes who train on mixed surfaces, commute on the bike they race on, or just want fewer wardrobe decisions before a wet autumn ride, that crossover pitch is worth a look….
The Suunto Run 2 costs £265 with 4GB of storage and the Garmin Forerunner 170 costs £260, so price won’t decide this. Sport modes will. Our Forerunner 170 review confirms swim, bike and run tracking and multisport, while the launch material we read for the Run 2 lists none of the swim or triathlon modes….
Suunto launched the Run 2 on 8 September 2026. It is a 35g running watch with a 1.32-inch AMOLED screen, dual-band GPS and free worldwide offline maps. UK prices are £265 for the 4GB model and £299 for the 64GB model. It is built for road running and marathon training, and the launch material we…

Zwift launched the Ride V2 on 9 September 2026. It keeps the original Zwift Ride’s price (£1,099.99 in the UK, including a Wahoo KICKR CORE 2 trainer) and changes the parts that made the first version awkward to set up: the frame is more compact, the cranks adjust, and the saddle has more fore-aft range….
What It Is Aero socks are a small, cheap upgrade in a sport where most aero gains cost hundreds of pounds. GripGrab developed the FastStream with aero engineers at Flanders Bike Valley, and the pitch is straightforward: a textured knitted surface designed to manage airflow around the lower leg, the same principle golf balls use…
What It Is Cold hands end winter rides early more often than cold legs or a cold torso — the extremities lose heat fastest and are hardest to warm back up once they’ve gone numb on the bars. The Altura Nevis is a dedicated waterproof, insulated winter glove built for exactly that problem, with a…
COROS’s newly launched Pace 4 Pro and Garmin’s Forerunner 970 both target the same buyer — a triathlete or runner who wants AMOLED brightness and premium build without stepping up to a full outdoor-adventure watch.
