Kona top 15 men on bikes

Our feature of the top 15 overall males at the 2012 Ironman World Champs on their bikes with details of material used and a look at their actual riding position.

Felt B12 (2013)

Felt has been skating along on its flagship B series mold for 5 years. Rather than downscale its newer DA mold, Felt chose to built a new B series mold from the ground up. Here’s the B12 built on that chassis.

TYR Torque 2012

Do swim skins really work? Are they worth the money and effort in a no-wetsuit swim? This is the question we set out to answer in this, the first of our time-test reviews of entries in the swim skin category.

Pete Jacob’s Boardman AiR

Pete Jacob’s stormed to the win in Kona with a very strong ride aboard his Boardman AiR TT9.8 and a superb closing run. We had a chance to look closer at his bike.

2013 Felt B2

The 2013 Felt B2 and B12 bikes inherit the DA frame without the bayonet fork and today we look closer at the higher end B2 edition.

Kristin Armstrong’s Felt DA1

We’ll be writing about Felt’s line of 2013 tri bikes over the next week, and it seemed a nice way to start would be a look at the gold medal bike ridden in London by Kristin Armstrong.

Mike Aigroz’s Look 596

Swiss Pro Mike Aigroz finished 6th in Kona in 2011 and just took 3rd place at the 2012 Challenge Roth. We had a closer look at his Look 596 race bike.

Timo Bracht’s Giant

While all the Challenge Roth athletes checked-in their bikes today we had a closer look at Timo Bracht’s Giant Trinity Advanced SL race bike.
