Time Trial Frames
Whether you are a beginner or seasoned eventer, the range of Time Trial Bikes and frames here will be of great interest to you.
Designed to give you the edge when competing in triathlons, pentathlons or simple road racing events - a Carbon Fiber bike frame will leave the rest of the pack standing and carry you to be a winner.
Ride on the shoulders of the 2008 Olympic medal winners such as Chris Hoy, Victoria Pendleton and Rebecca Romero with a quality made bike from manufacturers such as Felt, Giant and Cervelo.
Going hand in hand with the series of carbon fibre triathlon bikes and frames, a time trial bike will be light and sturdy and aerodynamically designed to perform to its best.
The difference between a road bike and a time trial bike is that the TT bike will be more designed to be aerodynamic, using an airfoil shaped frames and parts and light weight components. Seeing as the majority of time trial competitions are on the flat with little or no incline, the design of a TT frame will be for aerodynamics rather than low weight.
Compared to a Triathlon bike, the Time Trial bikes and frames are very similar. In fact some of the time trial bikes can be used on the cycling stage of the triathlon. Bikes that are manufactured specifically for triathletes will have certain physical changes and differences that allow for less impact on the ham string muscles to save them for the running and swimming during the event. Also, compared to a time trial event, the cycling section of a triathlon can be more hilly where as the TT events are usually on a less undulating terrain.
