New bike coming from Ridley. Most likely with a frame bottle like BMC Speedmachine as they speak of integrated hydration and they talk about storage boxes to add on.
Seat angle looks pretty steep, but Deda cockpit would not be my choice as an OEM stock in selling a bike like this. It looks skinny in the tubes so probably UCI legal as well to serve also as their TT bike.
Looks lightweight, skinny, simple. I like it. Primarily a TT bike.
Looking at it I had the same reaction
But then I read this
âWe will launch the Triton Fast in 2025: an aerodynamic racing machine tailored to every triathlete. Thanks to the modular design, you can adjust the Triton Fast to different triathlon formats. Furthermore, a longer seat tube ensures a more comfortable position, which you can adjust even more finely via the flip chips. Thanks to the internal drink guide and the strategic frame packs, you are completely ready to achieve the most efficient performance!â
I wonder what âlonger seat tubesâ do 
I had the same reaction. What in hell would a longer seat tube do for extra comfort. My good guess is that they meant a longer top tube and increased reach.
Although it would also be a stupid error :-).
I think this is the bike Nick from Wove recently mentioned. So I am very curious to the add ons and flip chips :-).
Jeroen
I think they meant the dropped seat stay and therefore exposed longer seat tube above the rear triangle.
Anyway⌠interesting then that they target it first at tri, although it does look like TT.
Iâll be eager to see the geometry chart. Could probably take a TriRig cockpit as well if theyâre selling frames only.
It being a TT bike doesnât bother me too much since hydration is so easy to do BTA and BTS now anyways.
The geometry is spot on. Best ever imo.
82deg sta in Medium+ frames, 80deg for XS and Small. Frame reach 4-6cm longer than other brands, which will allow for the stock risers to be used with no reach extension plates or after market risers.
and with so many people replacing stock aerobars, itâs nice to see they arenât investing in proprietary bars
Itâs telling that they have the seat slammed forward on the photos, perhaps.
itâs a photoshoot, not a bike fit, so I donât think thereâs much to glean from the photo.
I donât remember if it was you or @marcag talking about a forthcoming bike with more reach than youâd seen on any other modern bike. Is this that one?
Can it be that with âzitbuis/seat tubeâ they mean that it has an extra long saddle clamp area, and they arenât referring to the real seat tube?
In that case the extra comfort comes from being able to have a wide range of seat angle options which results in more âcomfortâ when you get it right for your individual needs. And those flip chips might be inside the adjustable seat clamp. Just an idea.
Why not the Deda? As a name brand component that doesnât cost the earth, I think the Jet Two are about as good as it gets.
Of the people I know who switched from it to Speeco / Wattshop / FastTT etc, gains were relatively marginal, unlike some other name brand stuff which appears to be junk from an aero perspective.
Iâve tested switched to some of those names bars that were slower than cheap stock set ups. Want to see a pro cyclist cry? Here is how
Test then tell him after A LOT of runs that his custom made shaped extensions that cost $1600GBP are slower than his stock Profile set up.
I will one up that one.
A guy flies to the Netherlands and has 3 sets of custom carbon bars made (race/spare/track bikes). Tested him and the 3 cockpits went to the carbon waste dump.
No not this one, this was an unexpected surprise :-).
There is at least another one coming.
Jeroen
As you have the geo chart do you mean longer armpad reach or actual longer frame reach?
The frame doesnât really appear to be thĂĄt much longer by looking at it.
Jeroen
Frame reach 4-6cm longer. The stem/basebar is a cm shorter than most bars, so stock pad reach ends up being 3-5cm longer overall for sizes XS - XL. In addition, pad reach adjustability is larger than most other brands. This is a big win imo
Being named the âTriâ ton, it seems tri focused. the geometry sure looks that way, and itâs appreciated.
Interesting as it looks like their TT dedicated bike as well and I wonder how they can fit still within the uci rules with a frame that is that much longer in frame reach. I think FC can still not exceed 650 and wheelbase 185 cm, but maybe Iâm overlooking something.
Jeroen
Edit:
I made some geo drawings at home being sick as a dog and it still could fit in the uci box of dimensions with those extra long reach in top tube / seat angle.
Do you have any data or information specific to the Deda Jet 2? I have these bars currently on my bike and would like to know how they fare against the competition. One thing I can say, attaching bar ends for a higher âfistâ grip instead of the stock forward grip greatly improved closing the gap between face and hands. I donât have any reliable data yet but wind noise diminished substantially with my hands in this position. I did not expect that. Itâs also more comfortable with only a slight reduction in control. The style of aerobar with up-angled grip (FastTT, Wattshop) seems to have a lot of merit from this experiment, and Iâll probably continue testing this season with some changes I want to try.
That is a bit of my problem with custom made full support bars in general when their angle is fixed.
Like, when a full support bar as in the ones from FastTT or other where you can still adjust angle, is not faster in cda in aerotesting but they do make it easier to stay longer and comfortable in that specific aero position due to the support they give the overall result could still be positive in a faster time on the bike and or run.
I have a Cadex customer, had him in a great position, he bought a Speeco bar but in a much higher angle without him trying that before and now he lacks enough reach and is less comfortable then with the default barsâŚâŚmost likely also slower, but that I havenât told him after his 2K in investment:-)
