Louis Garneau Gennix Tr1 Elite Triathlon Bike 2016

Louis Garneau Gennix TR1 Elite Triathlon Bike 2016. When it's you versus the clock, you need a bike that can give you every edge you can get. The Louis Garneau Gennix TR1 Elite triathlon bike is packed with wind cheating features that help you cross the finish line faster than the competition. At the heart of any bike is the frame, and the Gennix TR1 doesn't disappoint in this department. RTCC2 carbon fiber monocoque frame is stiff, fast and aerodynamic. The frame has been shaped to help the wind flow smoothly around the bike, so you get a faster speed with fewer watts of expended effort. The wide and flat tube shapes knife through the air, while the aero shaped seatpost uses a clever sliding seatback mechanism to let you dial in the perfect fit. Smart cable routing and a rear brake hidden under the super stiff BB386 bottom bracket help make further aerodynamic gains. The bladed fork with offset dropouts cut through the wind while providing stable handling at high speeds. Of course a great frameset is nothing without smart component choices, and that's another area where the Gennix excels. Shimano's workman Ultegra group is one of the best sellers and most popular in the world, and with good reason. Ultegra 6800 delivers all of the pro level performance of Dura Ace, but at a much better value. You gain a few grams, but still get the wide linkage rear derailleur, long lever arm front derailleur that deliver smooth and powerful shifting, plus the 4 arm crank that can take everything from a TT ready 55 46 to a 4634 chainring combo on a single spider with no loss in stiffness or performance. The usual TTtriathlon v brakes are here, and deliver excellent stopping power. Cockpit and wheels come courtesy of well respected Italian marque 3T one of the best high end component makers out there. The Vola Pro bar lets you get low and out of the wind while still staying comfortable, and the 3T Accelero 40 clincher wheels provide a good mix of durability, performance, and aerodynamic gains.
