Cervélo Reigns Again at Kona Bike Count but Gap Closes

The count has served for years as a global bellwether of buying patterns among athletes in the endurance triathlon space.

Toronto-based Cervélo again took top honors in the bike category, but the decade-long leader had 74 fewer bikes on the pier this year than last. The big movers chipping away at Cervelo’s lead were Canyon (28 more bikes than last year), QR (13 more), Dimond (12 more), and Scott (10 more).

Zipp again won the wheel category, but with 287 fewer wheels than last year.
