What to Look For A mid-range triathlon bike must balance aerodynamic efficiency, rider comfort over 90km+, and electronic shifting quality without the cost of top-tier race frames. The key factors are frame integration, groupset spec, and whether the geometry suits long-course racing. The Orbea Ordu M30i hits a compelling sweet spot in the current Tredz…
What to Look For in a Cycling Jersey for UK Triathletes British weather makes cycling clothing a year-round tactical decision. You need kit that handles a 12°C overcast morning ride, a sudden shower mid-session, and the heat of a midsummer afternoon — often on the same day. The Castelli Gabba range has dominated the “smart…
What to Look For in a Compact Cycling Computer Garmin’s compact cycling computer range has long been the default choice for serious cyclists and triathletes who want full training analytics in a small package. The Edge 550, launched in September 2025 alongside the larger Edge 850, represents a significant hardware update: a dramatically brighter display,…
What to Look For in a Cycling Computer for Triathlon A cycling computer is one of the most training-critical investments a triathlete can make. Unlike a running watch, it sits in your eyeline for the entire bike leg — providing real-time power, pacing, navigation, and nutrition alerts that directly shape how you race. For triathletes…
Why a Smart Fan Matters for Turbo Training Indoor cycling without airflow is physiologically compromised. Core body temperature rises faster indoors than outdoors because there’s no natural convective cooling from forward movement — leading to early cardiac drift, reduced power output, and sessions that feel harder than they should. The Wahoo KICKR Headwind solves this…
What to Look For Wahoo’s ELEMNT lineup is the most popular Garmin alternative among triathletes, and for good reason: the devices are simpler to set up, sync seamlessly with third-party training platforms, and deliver a clean interface that doesn’t require reading a 300-page manual. The question isn’t whether Wahoo is good — it’s which model…
What to Look For Cycling bib shorts are arguably the most important piece of kit for triathlon training. You’ll spend more time in them than any other garment — long turbo sessions, outdoor rides, and brick workouts — so getting the right pair matters. Endura is one of the most respected names in UK cycling…
What to Look For ASICS has long been a favourite among triathletes for a simple reason: the brand makes running shoes for runners, not just for the general fitness market. From the racing-optimised Metaspeed Sky Paris to the triathlon-specific Noosa Tri series (with its elastic lace-friendly design), ASICS offers a complete range that covers every…
What to Look For Cervélo has been synonymous with fast triathlon bikes since the late 1990s. Their P-series frames have won multiple Ironman World Championship titles and remain the benchmark against which all rivals are measured. If you’re investing seriously in a TT bike for 70.3 or full Ironman racing, understanding the Cervélo range —…
What to Look For A dedicated triathlon bike gives you a forward-set aero riding position that’s faster on the flat — and kinder to your run legs than a road bike. At the entry-level price point (under £2,500), you’re balancing aero geometry, a reliable groupset, and integrated storage for nutrition without overextending your budget. The…
