Triathlon/TT Racing
Thanks to a close eye on the details, the Transition has been designed to cheat the wind and beat the competition. With seconds making the difference between first and, well, really far back, the devil in any multisport event is certainly in the details. So, it's no surprise that multisport athletes stick energy bars to their top tubes, shave the backs of their shoulders and drill holes in their shoes to allow the, um, water to drain out. It's also no surprise that we've designed our Transition with wind cheating aerodynamic efficiency and Ironman-winning geometry.
