Triathlon specific bikes for women under 5' tall

Triathlon Forum

Both a friend of mine and myself are under 5’ tall, and are curious about triathlon bikes. We currently ride 44 cm road bikes. Is there anything available to women under 5’ tall?

Premier Tactical makes an XS w/ 650 wheels. IDK if they have any more in stock. Dan, the owner, is on this forum a fair bit. He may chime in if he sees this.

There are quite a few threads over in the women’s about small bikes.

If you search on 650 there are loads.

I’m pretty short at 5’5” and have plenty of bike fit challenges … can’t imagine how difficult it would be at sub 5’. Just spit balling … if I were in this position I might consider an aero gravel bike setup w/ tri handlebars and 650b wheels … like the 3t exploro in XXS or something … the primary downside to this being super aero wheels would be hard to get if you were looking to be on the extreme pointy end. 650c wheels would likely work with a bike like this, just tire selection and wheel availability seems really poor for 650c at this point.

You can pick up some fantastic 650 wheel sets 2nd hand.

My wife bought some ZIPP 404s last year in fantastic condition for $250
