RIBBLE ULTRA TRI SHIMANO 105
The Ribble Ultra Tri, one of the best triathlon bike, is built on the same frame as the Ribble Ultra TT, a bike raced by professional Ribble riders. Really quick. Ribble has optimized the full carbon Ultra frameset to deliver the least amount of aerodynamic friction possible. This feature will come in helpful when riding the Ironman 70.3's 56-mile cycling leg in a headwind. You don't need anything more than is absolutely essential to hold you back.
Apart from the brakes, which are TRP T860 alloy, the Ultra Tri's groupset is predominantly Shimano 105 R7000. Ribble developed the cockpit, including the bars and stem, for the Ribble Ultra Tri. Mavic Aksium Clincher wheels and Continental Ultra Sport 2 tyres with an extremely deep profile make up the wheelset. The Ribble Ultra Tri is relatively susceptible to side wind due to its thick profile and numerous storage compartments on the frame, but because the bike is so light, it won't have a significant impact on your riding experience, especially in aggressive riding positions.
