Triathlon Bikes

A triathlon is an endurance sports event consisting of the following disciplines:


This is completed over various distances and as a result, single proficiency in swimming, cycling, or running is not sufficient to guarantee a triathlon athlete a good finishing time.

Trained triathlon athletes have learned to race each stage in a way that preserves their energy and endurance for all stages.

In most modern triathlons the events are placed back-to-back in immediate sequence and the athletes official time includes the time to transition between the individual stages of the race including any time necessary for changing clothes and shoes.

The triathletes bike is perhaps the most important part of equipment they will purchase.  The enthusiast will spend upwards of $800 on their triathlon bikes but you have to remember that unless you are a professional the cost of an expensive bike will only get you to the finish line a little quicker.

What is more important?  Finishing and having fun - or having the most expensive equipment?
