What to Look For Garmin’s Varia rear-view radar range has two entry points — the RTL515, already reviewed here, and the RVR315, reviewed separately. Both use the same underlying radar detection technology, so the choice comes down to one feature rather than raw performance. Garmin Varia RTL515 Radar + taillight combined — a bright integrated…
What to Look For The Castelli Free Aero Race S and Endura Pro SL sit at the top of each brand’s bib short range and are two of the most recommended race-fit shorts on the market — both already reviewed individually and on the site. For long training rides rather than transition-focused racing, the chamois…
What to Look For Should you race in a road cycling shoe or a triathlon-specific one? The Fizik Vento Omna and Sidi Tri-Sixty represent the two answers to that question at a similar price point — one is a value-focused road shoe that plenty of triathletes use anyway, the other is purpose-built for fast T1/T2…
What to Look For Both the Lazer Vento KinetiCore and MET Manta MIPS are aero road helmets that also see regular use in non-drafting triathlon racing, sitting in a similar mid-premium price bracket with very different approaches to rotational-impact protection and ventilation. We’ve reviewed the Vento KinetiCore and the Manta MIPS individually — here’s how…
What to Look For Zipp’s road/tri wheel range spans several depths and price points, and two of the most common questions we get are “how much wheel do I actually need” and “is the cheaper option a compromise.” The 404 S and 303 Firecrest sit either side of that question — the 404 S is…
The 100% Speedcraft is one of the most distinctive-looking cycling sunglasses on the market — a half-frame design built around a single wraparound lens shape rather than a conventional two-lens frame. For triathletes who rate weight and field of view over a conventional look, it’s worth a closer look. Buy the 100% Speedcraft Currently £114.99…
The Oakley Radar EV Path is one of the longest-running names in performance cycling eyewear, now built around Oakley’s Prizm lens technology. For triathletes, the appeal is the combination of a proven wraparound fit with lenses genuinely tuned for road contrast, rather than a generic tint. Buy the Oakley Radar EV Path Currently £135 at…
The POC Ventral MIPS sits in POC’s road helmet range as the vented, all-rounder option — not a dedicated TT/aero lid, but a helmet built to hold its own on hot, hilly, hours-long rides where straight-line aero numbers matter less than staying cool. For triathletes racing 70.3 and full-distance events where the bike leg runs…
The Garmin Edge 1050 is Garmin’s flagship bike computer, sitting above the Edge 540/840/1040 in the range. It’s not a 2026 launch — Garmin released it in late 2024 — but for triathletes weighing up a computer upgrade for next season, it remains the biggest-screen, most feature-dense option in the current Edge lineup, and UK…
The HOKA Tecton X 4 launched globally on 20 August 2026, and UK stock landed the same week — so instead of the usual pre-launch guesswork, we can now confirm the full spec sheet, UK pricing and what’s actually changed. For triathletes tackling off-road runs (XTERRA-style events, technical run legs, or long trail training days),…
