+ 1 for Paula Newby-Fraser. That makes it 8 for Felt.

***updated with today’s results***

I stopped at 2001 since figuring out who rode what prior took more digging than I have time for...

For the men: Canyon=5, Specialized=4, Orbea,Kuota=2

2019 Canyon (Frodeno)
2018 Canyon (Lange)
2017 Canyon (Lange)
2016 Canyon (Frodeno)
2015 Canyon (Frodeno)
2014 Scott (Kienle)
2013 Cervelo (Van Lierde)
2012 Boardman (Jacobs)
2011 Specialized (Alexander)
2010 Specialized (McCormack)
2009 Orbea (Alexander)
2008 Orbea (Alexander)
2007 Specialized (McCormack)
2006 Kuota (Stadler)
2005 Cannondale (Al-Sultan)
2004 Kuota (Stadler)
2003 Specialized (Reid)
2002 Trek (Deboom)
2001 Litespeed (DeBoom)

For the women I had a little trouble finding pictures from the 2001-2005 races, but I think Badmann was on a Cheetah for all of her victories. Guessing the number of Cheetah victories will be higher if someone digs through pre-2001 victories given the previous 3 titles were Badmann and Bowden.

Felt = 6, Cheetah=5, Cannondale=3, Cervelo=3

2019 Cervelo (Haug)
2018 Felt (Ryf)
2017 Felt (Ryf)
2016 Felt (Ryf)
2015 Felt (Ryf)
2014 Felt (Carfrae)
2013 Felt (Carfrae)
2012 Pinarello (Cave)
2011 Cannondale (Wellington)
2010 Cannondale (Carfrae)
2009 Cannondale (Wellington)
2008 Cervelo (Wellington)
2007 Cervelo (Wellington)
2006 Giant (Jones)
2005 Cheetah? (Badmann)
2004 Cheetah? (Badmann)
2003 Cheetah? (Bowden)
2002 Cheetah? (Badmann)
2001 Cheetah? (Badmann)

How many wins was Mark Allen on Huffy for? or Dave Scott on his Centurian. I had a Centurian Dave Scott ironman expert with Suntour components as my first tri bike!

Probably more relevant to look at the bikes used for the fastest bike splits...
Interesting to see that Canyon seems pretty high up especially if you look at the % of athletes they sponsor compared to other brands:

Fastest bike splits 2019 women:
Laura Philipp - Canyon
Daniela Bleymehl - Canyon
Heather Jackson - Argon
Lucy Charles - Specialized
Carrie Lester - Canyon

Fatest bike split 2019 men:
Boris Stein - Canyon
Cameron Wurf - Pinarello
Seb Kienle - Scott
Philipp Koutny - Felt
Kristian Hogenhaug - trek?

IIRC the Kestrel was rebadged as a Schwinn (white bike), for Mark Allen one year. Mark hits this formum once in a while, maybe he can pipe in and answer.

1990-92 was Huffy
It was something like custom made,$10,000ish Huffy.

89, 90, 91 & 92 were all rebadged. Some years as “Schwinn” others as “Huffy”.

That Kestrel rebadged as “Schwinn” in 89 was probably the first carbon frame to win the Ironman.

93 he won on an actual Look and won 95 on an actual GT.

Which wheels has the most wins, Corima, Hed, Mavic or Zipp? Who was the only person to win on Spinergy wheels? Who was the last person to win on a road bike?

I remember Dave Scott telling me his Centurian was his Eisentraut painted over- at least a couple of those years (a common practice at that time).
Eisentraut was my favorite steel bike 😜

Not really since the top 5 fastest bike splits were on 5 different brands. Its all about the engine.........

Pink? Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.
