Riding with royalty
The Speedmax held the title ‘King of Kona’ for five straight years, and is widely known as one of the best set ups in world triathlon. It’s a bike Patrick has played a key role in developing, as he underwent extensive and regular wind tunnel testing for the new generation Speedmax.
The findings and his feedback played an important role in ensuring that the bike was as aerodynamic as possible while minimising crosswind impact - a key factor, especially in the difficult conditions often seen in Hawaii. This is particularly important for lighter athletes like Patrick to ensure optimum handling even in strong crosswinds. The rest, as they say, was history.
