Unless you’re planning to own multiple bikes, you’re going to have to decide between a triathlon-specific bike and a well-rounded road machine. The Trek Domane, however, offers a compromise.
This smooth-riding road bike is suited to finding the sweet spot between traditional road and tri positions. Slapping aerobars on a road bike often forces the rider into a scrunched position, resulting in a loss of power. The Domane’s geometry—handlebars higher above the ground and closer to the rider than many race-tuned road bikes—creates a conservative road position and facilitates an efficient aero position when coupled with clip-on aerobars.
