You may have seen renderings of bicycles in the future on a website or a magazine which conjures up sleek images of something looking like a blade slicing through the wind, and pure speed written all over it. Time Trial or TT bikes are the closest thing to these futuristic machines.
Cycling is a fascinating sport and road cycling have a divided audience, traditionalist who wants the sport pure as it was many years ago with the old school “double-diamond” round-tube shaped frames, spoked wheels etc. The way race bikes looked until the mid-80’s around the era of Bernard Hinault. On the other hand, there is the crowd who pushes for advancement in bicycles and embrace technology. There is a fine line in keeping the sport authentic and not an arms-race. Historically light weight and responsiveness were arguably the biggest attributes a bike needed to have, however aero is the new king!
When it comes to being as fast as possible in a race against the clock a specialist Time Trial (TT) bike is a must. Another related sporting code Triathlons and biathlons also race bikes and cycling legs are festivals of speed and aero. The sporting bodies of the latter have embraced technology much more than the UCI (Union Cicliste International) for traditional cycling. What makes TT bikes for sale so unique you may ask? Firstly, it is the seating position. The geometry of these bikes positions your body into a very aerodynamic position whilst the bike itself is also designed and built with aero components. There is also no traditional curved handle bars, TT bikes have a simplistic base handle bar that you only use for limited periods and then the TT bars made famous by Greg Lemond in the 1989 Tour De France on which a rider rest his elbows in order to put his body into a “tuck” position, akin to that of a downhill skier.
