In short, I don't recommend them for not elite-level triathletes; this video explains why the gains aren't worth the price. • Margins Gains Don't Make Sense For The Average Person • A tri-specific bike without a proper fit and deep carbon wheels is likely a slower overall system than a modern road bike with deep carbon wheels, a proper fit, and a power meter. • The Training • Tri-bikes are inherently hard to train on. If you live in a hilly area, the gearing of tri-bikes will make it difficult to put in long days. Often road bikes are more comfortable and geared better for training. • The Difference • The aerodynamic advantages of a tri-bike frame are negated by poor bike fit, non-aero wheels, and lack of proper training. Getting a budget tri bike is likely slower than investing in your current road bike. • $4k - $5k Investment • When considering the bike, the fit, the aero wheels, and an aero helmet, you will spend upwards of $5K to get an excellent tri-bike setup. That might not include a power meter. • Make Up The Gap • If you spend your money upgrading your road bike with deep carbon aero wheels, a power meter, an aero helmet, and aero clothing, you will make up many of the advantages of a tri-bike. • Losing Game • Tri-bikes depreciate at much rate than a traditional road bikes. With this in mind, be prepared to lose 30% - 70% of your tri-bike's value within three years of purchase. • Remember, no bike will make up a bad day in the run. • Great that I used to film this video: • Camera: Sony A6400 - https://amzn.to/3SxHrCu • Lens: Sony 50mm 1.8 - https://amzn.to/3SxHwGi • Gimbal (w/ tracking): DJI Ronin RSC2 - https://amzn.to/3RuwPmv • Audio: Rode Wireless Go - https://amzn.to/3fBtrsO • Lav Capsule: Rode Smart Lav + - https://amzn.to/3ybAONT • Tripod: Neewer Carbon Tripod - https://amzn.to/3SNDc5p • Please note that these are affiliate links, and I receive a small payout through purchases made.
