In this episode we dive deep into the latest in triathlon bike tech with R&D engineer Mitch Child of Specialized. From integrated cockpit “sled” systems and innovative hydration placements behind the saddle to cutting-edge wheel designs and race-day tech trends seen at the IRONMAN World Championship, this conversation explores how the world’s best athletes squeeze every second out of their bikes just to keep up in today's modern racing. Whether you’re a pro chasing sub-eight or an age-group athlete looking for real gains, you’ll hear what’s working now, why it works, what to watch next, and how to translate high-end innovation into practical upgrades.
