21 Awesome Age Grouper Triathlon Bikes

Written by
Michael Nystrom
From ultra-aero and extravagant, to more accessible and utilitarian, these are the bikes of the non-elite athletes who, like you, live for triathlon. Beloved by athletes from all walks of life, these bikes have seen it all--the blood, sweat, tears and devotion--that goes into crossing the finish line. So sit back, relax and get inspired for your next two-wheeled endeavor.
