For triathletes, there are two different bike options: a road bike with clip-on aero bars, or a dedicated triathlon bike, also known as a TT bike. Tri bikes are made to be fast & aerodynamic, but being heavier than road bikes, there is a penalty when riding uphill or on technical courses. Mark & James put the two bikes head-to-head in three different races to see which is best!
