The Ceepo Stinger is designed to provide you with a very comfortable ride with a very stiff frame. Intended for riders that like to pedal with a high cadence applying medium power. Full internal cable routing, aero seat post with integrated seat clamp and balanced frame geometry for aerodynamics and stability. Its unique hand laid carbon fiber layup optimizes balance and vibration absorption.

Sidi’s new T3.6 Triathlon cycling shoe is one of the fastest shoes in triathlon cycling. The vented sole is hand crafted in the same carbon facility the builds parts for Ducati and Ferrari. Incredibly stiff with vents to help drain water after wet transitions and those moments on the bike most aren’t comfortable talking about. The upper has a plush, brushed interior for sockless comfort and a large heel loop to aid in transition. And it’s not just for tri-seasons. The vents can be opened and closed for riding anytime.

There’s a feature on Cannondale’s Women’s Slice 5 105 that Chrissie Wellington calls her secret weapon. Wanna know? Called “Fast Girl’s” bike, its AERO SAVE rear stays offer great power transfer while absorbing road shock, allowing for a smoother ride so you can run fresher. Available in smaller sizes to fit smaller riders, including 650c wheels. Aerodynamic and comfortable.

Italian helmet manufacturer, KASK, welcomes a new aerodynamic helmet to their 2012 line, the K.31 Crono. This time trial helmet was built to be the best with comfort, fit, design and manufacture (a good portion of their products are hand-made and all built in Italy). The helmet incorporates a unique up-and-down size hinged adjustment system to comfortably cradle the nape of the neck, providing the ultimate fit in terms of precision, comfort and security. The tail of the K.31 Crono forms a vertical fin, like the tail of an aircraft, to reduce drag as the rider lowers their head. And in unfortunate incidents, the strengthening frame helps prevent the helmet from shattering into pieces. Ventilated, non-stick pads keep you cool and the chin pad is made of anti-allergic leather.

Cobb’s V-Flow saddle is designed for the triathlete, male or female, who is typically rotated much more forward and riding on a part of the pelvis that’s not typical in road cycling. The internal base of the seat minimizes lower back stress by holding the rider in place so that he/she does not slide back and forth on the seat. As the rider pedals with more pressure, the V-Flow cradle gives a front support zone that the rider can pull against for increased power. The narrow rear section helps relieve pressure from the hamstring muscle and the upper adductors, thus increasing rider comfort. The exclusive “V” notch in the rear of the seat cut out area functions as an air scoop, bringing moisture relief to reduce saddle sores and rashes. To go fast and far you have to be comfortable, and this saddle helps with both speed and comfort.

Cycle for hours without any interruption from lights and traffic on the Road Machine from Kinetic by Kurt. Yes, we know riding indoors isn’t as fun, but not everyone has the luxury to train on the road due to our desk jobs and weekend obligations. One of the best fluid trainers available, it’s quiet (relatively), smooth and 100% leak-proof. The power calibration gives you true outdoor simulation and automatic resistance adjusts as you change speeds. Easy set-up with legs that fold to make it flat and compact for storage. It also comes with unconditional lifetime warranty and lifetime crash replacement policy.

Quintana Roo’s Illicito is their most aerodynamic bike ever and unique out of all bikes out there. Based loosely on their flagship CD0.1, the revolutionary, high modulus carbon fiber frame records the lowest drag coefficient of any modern design. What did they do? Well, the use of SHIFT technology ‘shifted’ airflow from the front wheel to be re-directed from the dirty, drag-producing side (drive side) of the bike to the clean side (non-drive side). The asymmetric bottom bracket reduces drag around the drive train and they removed the left side seat stay. OK, now you have a puzzled look and asking why the left side…

Here’s something to help make you faster. Lightweight, a German wheel manufacturer that’s been creating top-end wheels for over a decade, recently introduced the Fernweg wheelset. Having already won a 2012 Red-Dot product design award, these carbon tubular wheels were built to be the stiffest, lightest and one of the most aerodynamic set of wheels in the world. The rim is 19.5mm wide, completely sealed to prevent water from entering and the set weighs a total of 1,355g, which is impressive considering the …

Hands free drinking? Hard to imagine possible without someone squirting liquids into your mouth, but it’s true. The Speedfil Hydration System provides hydration and lets you stay in the aero position. The frame mounted, generous 40 oz. BPA-free bottle holds your favorite drink with a tube that extends up through the aero bars to give you the effect of having a front mounted system. Bite the valve to release fluid. Wind tunnel developed to minimize drag and optimize handling, it’s the most…

Avanti’s Chrono Evo II is the result of an exhaustive design process and the very latest in technological innovation. It was awarded the Gold pin for the consumer category and the Purple pin, meaning the Chrono Evo II won the overall Product category in New Zealand’s Best Design Awards. Not only does it look good, it is Avanti’s fastest tri-bike ever. From advanced CAD and wind tunnel research and development, it employs a precise layup of CR5 carbon, their highest grade of carbon combined with modular monocoque…
