An old school company that’s lived with glue & blindstitch construction over a 40-year history of making just these kinds of suits. Aquaman was around at the beginning of tri wetsuits; it’s still here today.

This is a wetsuit brand founded by British racer James Lock. This brand may be the most successful yet of UK-based wetsuit makers, does this brand deserve a larger place in the U.S. market?
No triathlon wetsuit company has stormed onto the scene in recent memory with a bigger bang than Roka. It’s ROKA’s second year, we’ve had a year to noodle them, is the fanfare justified?
Mirinda Carfrae has a new Felt IA FRD and she went to Mat Steinmetz of 51Speedshop to fine tune the fit. We have her numbers and much more in our hands.
Austin, TX resident Amy Marsh captured the win at Ironman 70.3 Raleigh and we looked closer at her Shimano and Hed equipped Cervelo P5 race bike.
Kiwi Pro Callum Millward will race the Ironman 70.3 Raleigh on the new Quintana Roo PR6 super bike and we managed to take a closer look before it went into battle.
At the 2014 Boston Scientific Winston-Salem Cycling Classic many other Pros seemed fascinated by the very sleek looking Cervelo S5 VWD of Bobby Lea.
Quintana Roo’s latest tri bike is the PR6, and the attempt is to make a bike that’s easy to work on, easy to travel with, fits well, hits the high notes, but is still competitive aerodynamically.
A high-end bike shop near us was about to get a new Felt IA FRD ready for a consumer, but we managed to check it out before it was customized.
Trek is stepping up big with a Trek Factory Racing team, plus they also take over the bike sponsorship of Team Timex. Scott Sports, Felt and BMC added a few more high profile athletes and much more in terms of bike sponsorships.
We ran into Santiago Ascenço at the 2575 Championships in Florida and we managed to grab the Kestrel 4000 LTD of this Brazilian Pro to snap a few images.
We featured a gallery of the Falco V when it was introduced and some folks wondered if it was vaporware. It clearly isn’t and Chris Kemp can attest to that.
Cervelo is flowing its P3 geometry and features down to the P2, just as it did when it first intro’d this model 8 years ago. But this time it’s sticking closer to the P3 motif, just with the P2’s signature $2,800 price.
