Tri Performance Wheels

Triathlon bike wheels have to be made to live up to the expectations of riders who are serious about cutting milliseconds from their personal best during a time trial or winging their way to the front of the pack in a race. That is why triathlon wheels have to be honed to deliver top notch performance in any situation. Triathlon race wheels are available from a number of different brands, with the likes of Zipp, Shimano, Fulcrum and Mavic all well represented in this arena. You can buy the wheels in pairs or invest in individuals if you want to replace the front or rear triathlon wheels on your tri bike.

As with any cycling wheel there are different levels of performance offered at different price points. The most advanced wheels ditch the metal spokes in favour of rigid disks which help to improve the aerodynamic properties of your tri bike. There are models which blend both of these setups, giving you the reduced drag of discs while still helping to combat the impact of side gusts like spokes.

Some wheels for tri bikes use a tubeless design which allows for improved lightness and speed as well as added durability over the long, punishing sections of tarmac that riders are sure to tackle. Some wheels also integrate carbon components, ousting traditional materials in order to cut the weight further and improve overall rigidity. Whether you are a keen amateur or a professional rider, wheels that can perform on a triathlon bike are vital.
