Who has signed for which brand and what bikes will pro triathletes be riding this year?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If there\u2019s one piece of equipment that draws the most attention in triathlon, it\u2019s the bike. It drives competition and innovation as brands understand that if they have the reigning Ironman or Olympic champion riding their prized steed, they are likely to drive more sales.<\/p>\n<p>Bike deals can be among the most lucrative sponsorships professionals can get. But they also don\u2019t want to compromise any aspect of their performance, so finding the brand that will pay them top dollar and also deliver the free speed they require is a fine balance.<\/p>\n<p>With quite a bit of chopping and changing for 2022, we\u2019ve curated a list for you of who is riding what.
