Triathlon wheels boost your race performance by taking advantage of two physical properties, weight and aerodynamics. Because of the rotating weight of your wheels a triathlon wheel is the most important component in your triathlon bike setup. Wheels affect not only the weight of your bike and the feel of the ride, but also the aerodynamics of the bike.
Because of the speed with which a try bike moves, small improvements in aerodynamics can make big impacts in your speed. Any reduction in drag in a forward moving rider & bike set up will improve your race time and comfort during your next triathlon.
As of this past year there are many new triathlon wheels on the market, including Mavic and Reynolds. Prior to this the patented shape of the aerodynamic wheels produced by HED and Zipp limited market competition.
This can only mean one thing for the serious triathlete...time to upgrade your race wheels!
