2XU built the Light Speed React alongside long-course pros and put it through wind tunnel testing in both Australia and the UK across five prototype iterations — the kind of development process usually reserved for far pricier suits. It’s now 2XU’s flagship aero trisuit for triathletes racing long course. Key Specs (Verified) UK price: £215…
Form Nutrition has added Pureblend to its protein range — a stripped-back, unflavoured version of its pea and brown rice vegan protein blend, sitting alongside the already-reviewed Performance Protein and Superblend Protein. The pitch is simple: no added flavouring, sweeteners or greens blend, just the base protein for anyone who wants full control over what…
Magene isn’t a household name in the UK yet, but the Chinese brand has been quietly building out a full ecosystem of power meters, trainers and radar lights — and its C606 Pro GPS bike computer is the clearest sign it’s aiming squarely at Garmin Edge and Wahoo ELEMNT territory, at a noticeably lower price….
Zipp has resurrected one of its most storied wheelset names. The new 202 NSW is a from-scratch, hookless carbon climbing wheelset, and Zipp claims it’s the lightest wheelset it has ever built. For triathletes who care about total bike weight on hilly 70.3 or Ironman courses — or who simply want the fastest possible wheel…
Wrist-based optical heart rate has improved enormously, but it still lags a chest strap for accuracy during high-intensity intervals, cold-water swims and anything involving significant wrist or arm movement. Polar’s H10 has been the reference chest strap for years, and it remains one of the most recommended accuracy upgrades for triathletes serious about heart rate…
Power-based training has been standard on the bike for years, but running power has taken longer to catch on — partly because, unlike a bike power meter, there’s no simple mechanical measurement (force through a crank) to rely on. Stryd’s foot pod remains the most established running power meter on the market, and its wind-adjusted…
Every GPS sports watch roundup on this site covers Garmin, COROS and Polar — but a growing number of triathletes now run a dedicated recovery wearable alongside their training watch, worn 24/7 for sleep, HRV and strain tracking that a bulky multisport watch isn’t built for. WHOOP and Oura are the two names that dominate…
Bounce management gets overlooked in triathlon kit lists that focus on wetsuits, bikes and shoes, but a poorly supportive sports bra causes real discomfort — and potential long-term tissue damage — over the run legs of a long training block. Shock Absorber’s Ultimate Run Bra is one of the most consistently well-reviewed high-impact options built…
What to Look For If you’re driving to a race with a triathlon bike — long clip-on extensions, deep-section wheels, an expensive carbon frame — a roof rack is often the safest way to transport it, keeping the boot free for wetsuits, transition bags and race nutrition. The wrong rack, though, can clamp onto a…
A good track pump lives in the garage for years, so build quality matters more than any headline feature. Crankbrothers’ Sapphire is a deliberately simple, mostly-steel floor pump aimed at exactly that job — no fancy dual-chamber tech, just a stable base and a barrel built to last. Key Specs (Verified) Max pressure: 160 PSI…
