The Virginia Tech Helmet Ratings help triathletes ditch the guesswork and find the safest bike helmets on the market today. The best part? Safety doesn’t have to be expensive.

Our editors share the gear that's getting them through the impending holidays, early morning swims, and greater bike comfort during an Ironman.

We take a look at Knibb’s journey from clip-ons to cutting-edge aero.

Tri didn’t copy aero - it taught it. Here we look at the historic images, oddities, and athletes who hid heads, moved bottles, and nudged rules to reshape the way we look on the bike leg.

The organization’s new rules follow World Triathlon’s efforts to crack down on runaway hydration systems and aerobar extensions, while reducing drafting penalties - among other changes.

Even the best-intentioned aero gear can fail triathletes if they're not using it right. A wind tunnel operator explains the most common (and costly) mistakes triathletes make.

Your expensive aero helmet could actually be slowing you down. An aerodynamicist explains why aero helmets have evolved (yet again) and how to use them right.

The authority on aerodynamics to pros like Lionel Sanders breaks down basic aero terms, aerodynamic science, why it all matters, and what you should be focusing on to (actually) get faster.

We take a journey through tri time, exploring the nuanced history of carrying hydration with minimal aerodynamic resistance—and where we are now.

Boasting nearly as much time savings as thousands of dollars worth of equipment, this simple (and cheap) race-day hack could change the sport—unless it’s outlawed.

Don’t let achy shoulders and other bits hold you back from bombing in the aero position. Here’s your prescription for staying slippery.

The Italian component maker will enter 2012 with a full line of equipment for riding against the clock.
