In the following article we analyze the bicycles of some of the most important Spanish professional triathletes that were at the Kona World Championship last year, and / or are in a position to fight to qualify for "Mecca" this season. We present you the bikes of Gurutze Frades, Víctor del Corral, Albert Moreno, Miquel Blanchart y Clemente Alonso

 

GURUTZE FRADES 

 

• Bicycle: Road BH G6 and chrono BH GC Aerolight
• Group: Shimano Ultegra 11 mechanical and Durace DI2
• Cranks: Rotor Power 165mm
• Saddle: Prologue TiroX and Fizik Tritone
• Power Meter: RotorPower
• Handlebar: Evo and Vision Tri Max Carbon
• Bikefit: Roberto Corujo
• Sneakers and Helmet: Spiuk

 

"I will continue with the Bh Gc Aerolight which gives me a lot of confidence. It is an aerodynamic bike, light and rigid. The geometry of the bike allows me to adjust it to my measure. This year I'm thinking about making some change, maybe handlebar and saddle. I will also check my position on the bike. "

 

VICTOR DEL CORRAL

 

 

• Bike: Cannondale Slice
• Wheels: 3T Orbis II
• Group: Shimano Di2
• Cranks: Cannondale SiSL2
• Saddle: Fabric Tri
• Power Meter: SRM
• Handlebar: 3T Vola
• Bikefit: Fit4Bike

 

"The new Slice is a bike really designed for triathletes with a geometry that makes it really effective in all terrains, comfortable and fast to fly in the plain, agile and light to climb like a missile. Without a doubt it is the bike that makes the difference in the world of triathlon "

 

ALBERT MORENO

 

• Bicycle: Orbea Ordu 2016
• Wheels: HED
• Group: Shimano Di2 electronic
• Cranks: Shimano DuraAce
• Saddle: Prologue
• Handlebar: Vision
• Bikefit: Cyclistlab

 

"It is an evolution of the Ordu that I carried during most of the 2013 / 14 / 15, and that I had the opportunity to run with it in Challenge Sardeña or in 70.3 Bahrain. It is a more aggressive bicycle, which immediately feels the sensation of speed and that, despite being a goat, it develops very well in uphill sections. I'm very happy with it. "

 

MIQUEL BLANCHART

• Wheels: Rear Progress A880 (903g) or A7D (Disc 1232g), front A880 (745g) or A500 (545g) with SAPIM radios (CX-RAY) and titanium Progress turbine ultra hubs.

"Very versatile counter-clock bike in both flat terrain and uneven terrain, with very good maneuverability due to the new front brake wiring system, which makes it perfect for fast and twisty circuits and with great reaction in large descents. Very rigid with great reaction and transfer of applied force. "

• Cover / Tubular: Specialized S-Works Turbo

"The truth is that to say that it is the best bike you've ever had in this type of article sounds an unlikely topic, because that's what everyone says, but certainly, at least of the bikes I've tried, this is the better, improving even the previous versions of the top of the range of the brand, which already had a very rigid BB and was very adjustable to different types of cyclists. The aesthetics I love, it seems very elegant. A very frequent complaint with goats is the effectiveness of the brakes, something that Argon18 has solved brilliantly leaving its competitors far behind in this model.

With Fit4bike I have been working for years and, with the poor raw material that I provided them, they have been improving year after year as you can see if someone consults hemeroteca. This is my third year with Progress and I'm not only happy with the subject, but it's also a pleasure to work with people who use your feedback to improve the product. For all the other accessories I am lucky to have the help of Specialized, which, in view, is material that speaks for itself. "
