What’s New About the 2026 Propel Giant has launched an all-new, 4th-generation Propel — its aero road bike, distinct from the Trinity time-trial/triathlon bike. It’s worth a look for triathletes even so: plenty of age-groupers train and race sprint or Olympic-distance events on a road bike rather than a dedicated tri rig, and the new…
Run90min+IntermediateSession Overview A structured practice run to rehearse a fixed run-walk pattern for the Ironman marathon — deliberately building walk breaks into your pacing strategy from the start, rather than being forced into unplanned walking when things fall apart late in the run. What You’ll Need A GPS watch with an interval/lap alert function, set…
What to Look For Carbon triathlon and TT bikes are unforgiving of guesswork. Seatposts, stems, aero bar clamps and bottle cage bolts on a carbon frame all carry specific torque values, and going by feel is how you either crack a carbon seatpost or have your bars slip mid-ride. A torque wrench takes the guesswork…
What Is It Endura’s FS260 line is the workhorse below its flagship FS260-Pro — serious bib short quality without the flagship price tag, and one of the brand’s best-selling road bibs for exactly that reason. If long training rides are your priority over race-day marginal gains, this is where Endura wants you looking. Key Features…
What Is It The Sutro is Oakley’s large, single-lens wraparound “shield” design — the shape that’s become one of the most recognisable silhouettes in the pro peloton. It’s built on the lightweight O Matter frame material Oakley uses across its sport range, with Unobtainium nosepads that grip harder the more you sweat. Key Specs Lenses…
What Is It Fizik’s “Argo” range means short-nose — at 265mm long, the Vento Argo R3 is noticeably shorter than a traditional road saddle. The idea is simple: a truncated nose reduces soft-tissue pressure and lets you rotate your pelvis further forward, which matters if you’re spending long stretches in an aggressive, aero-focused position and…
What Is It Look invented the clipless pedal, and the Keo Blade Carbon is its signature take on making the engagement feel sharper than a standard coil-spring pedal. Instead of a wound steel spring hidden inside the pedal body, Look bolts an external carbon-fibre leaf spring — the “blade” — to the outside of the…
What Is It The POC Procen Air borrows its shell shape and three large frontal vents directly from POC’s dedicated Procen TT helmet, then reworks the tail and ear coverage to make it road-legal and rideable for hours rather than just a 25-minute time trial. For triathletes weighing up a proper TT lid against something…
What to Look For The Castelli Aero Race 8S is the eighth generation of Castelli’s dedicated speed jersey platform, described by the brand as a radical departure from the 6.0 and 7.0 versions. It’s part of a broader shift across Castelli’s 2026 range, driven partly by new environmental regulations phasing out “forever chemical” (PFAS) treatments…
What to Look For The Vittoria Corsa Pro Speed is a tubeless-ready road and TT tyre built specifically to shave rolling resistance and weight off Vittoria’s standard Corsa Pro. With more triathlon and TT bikes now clearing wider 28-30mm tyres — including the new Cannondale SuperSlice Gen 3 — a dedicated fast tubeless tyre in…
