Edit: The bar closes imminently. Vote now or…
We’re voting here for Best Achievement by a Manufacturer Serving Triathletes. Half the score will come from consumer voting, half from retailer voting. The criteria are:
- What product debuting in 2013 made the biggest positive impact on triathlon?
- What is the most significant achievement in manufacturing for any tri-related product?
- Which product uses a technology what will most bend the future trajectory of tri-product manufacturing?
We are not over-strict about the precise date of introduction. If a product began selling somewhat earlier but really did not move into the market in a meaningful way until 2013, we’re including that as a 2013 product.
There are 5 finalists, chosen primarily by Slowtwitch readers (you) with some input from the Slowtwitch editorial staff.
The ballot is just one checked radio button. You’ll find it here:
