Triathlon bikes and road bikes have some serious differences that triathletes should know about before they purchase their first tri bike or bike for road cycling. Triathlon Taren heads into his local bike shop to show the differences between the Cervelo P3 triathlon bike and the Cervelo S3 with disc brakes road bike, then he shows his morning group ride in the rain, and finally talks about how triathletes should support their local bike shop.

2:45 Unless, of course, you got electronic shifting like Shimano’s Di2, SRAM’s eTap, or Campagnolo’s EPS, where you can have eight shift buttons with four on the brake levers and another four on the aero bars(SRAM’s eTap will only give you four buttons called blips.(two on the brake levers and another two on the aero bars). You push either one of the left buttons to downshift and either one of the right ones two upshift on the rear derailleur. To shift the front derailleur, you press both the left and right buttons simultaneously.)
I know this is an old video but the road bike is an s3 not an s5
lets say i already have a canyon roadlite roadbike. i ve got 4000 dollars that i can spend on a new bike. now. im thinking about buying a canyon aeroad or s canyon speedmax cf. both for about 4000. which one should i get? for me both are high end bikes and my roadlite is not so much a high end bike! help me!
This was so helpful – I’m on the verge of choosing a bike and this gave me some great info.
Here’s my issues: I like tri.bikes so much more in terms of design but I want it as a road bike. In other words: I want a tri.bike setup as a road bike. Is that feasable?
Grr, why not compare same equiped? It’s Always same, as GTN also do, comparing two bikes, but not same Equipment. IF you wanna do real comparison, both bikes should have Disc or regular Brakes (Cantilever), both also Needs e-shift or wire.. but not one this way, other one different!
thanks
I cant afford to buy a tri bike I would love to if someone or shop would let me pay one off
opinion question- got the entry level road bike…thinking about an upgrade finally. Going to make the 70.3 jump next fall… Used tri bike or a higher level road bike?
Wish the old guy would not appearing every video regarding diets
