Carbon triathlon bikes like Quintana Roo, Orbea, and other top cycling sports brands like Cervelo are made for speed. The aerodynamics of these specialized road bikes are the choice for triathlete riders from all over. Tri bicycles aren't just abotu putting aero bars on a bike. The geometry is really different in design from road or mountain bikes. It's more like a TT or time trail bike. Training in triathlon gear and equipment is pivotal for getting it right in competition.
