Speed Concept Unveiled

After more than three years in the making, the Speed Concept line of triathlon bikes is here!  Trek unveiled the complete lineup of the Speed Concept on stage seven of the Tour of California.  They're making it available in three series:  the 2 (aluminum), 7 (TCT carbon), and 9 (OCLV carbon with Project One).  We have a couple of each on order...they should be here in a month or so.  I'm pretty excited to get my hands on this bike and build one up.  It's the most aerodynamic, it has the most integration technologies, and it's the most adjustable of any TT/tri bike on the market.  Keep up with our posts on Facebook to know when they get here.  Come in and see for yourself why it's the most advanced bicycle Trek has ever made.


Trek thought of everything with this bike, just looking at the bike you can tell it’s fast. Everything is hidden; cables, fuel, flat repair…everything I need to put up the best bike split on the course.” 
-Chris Lieto:  Two-time Ironman champion


We didn’t want to create a bike that was fast only in the wind tunnel under perfect conditions, w wanted a bike that had everything tucked neatly into the frame design that a rider needs to race an Ironman. Hidden brakes, fully-internal cable routing, electronics, storage for fuel and flat repair, and even the skewer profile all create zero additional drag and an unprecedented aerodynamic profile.”
- Tyler Pilger:  Trek road and tri product manager



When I ride this bike, I feel like I’m cheating.  It just doesn’t seem fair to the rest of the field that I have this bike.”
-Julie Dibens:  World 70.3 champion
