We sell triathlon and timetrial bikes from two of the segment leaders in the sport. Specialized and Argon 18 are common sights at the top of the podium in international events including the grand daddy of the all - Ironman. Argon 18 bikes have been used to break the bike split record at Ironman on several occasions, proving just how fast their designs are. We carry a variety of sizes from both brands so that you can try one out and see which one you like the feel of.
We are super excited about selling Specialized and one of
the jewels in their crown are the Shiv and Transition triathlon/timetrial
bikes.
The Shiv made it's debut at the 2009 Tour de Fance where it was used to good effect by Fabian Cancellera. Unfortunately the Shiv isn't too practical for the rest of us who aren't as flexible as a pretzel but Specialized has us covered.
The Transition is their very capable triathlon/timetrial bike that fits a wide variety of athletes from pro to recreational. Wind tunnel testing proves that the Transition is one of, and possibly the fastest bikes ever made!
Canadian company, Argon 18 has three dedicated multisport bikes
in their line. The award winning Element comes in two wind cheating set-ups
including one with a built in fairing and aerobar to make it the fast Argon 18 ever
produced. The Mercury is a aluminum bike that has held the course record
at Hawaii Ironman and not many companies can say that about their entry level triathlon bike.
Argon 18 pays careful attention to the aerodynamics, comfort and even the feel of their frames. They are closely partnered with the materials engineering departement of a prominent Canadian University and sponsor many top international and Canadian triathletes. All of this makes Argon 18 competitive with the best that the world can offer.
Fast wheels
are just as important as the bike. A set of deep dish wheels can
make you as much as 90 seconds faster over 40k compared to the
wheels that come on almost all triathlon bikes.
We believe in HED wheels. We like that they are on the cutting edge of aero technology but do not have the ridiculous price tags associated with some of their competition. HED makes a very nice set of aero wheels with clincher rims which means that you don't have the hassle of gluing tubular tires or changing them when you get a flat.
Saskatoon has a very active club that runs all sorts of events, and training opportunities. Don't be intimidated, the club has members who are just starting, who do the events for fun, and even some who train for Ironmans. Visit Saskatoon Triathlon Club for more information.

We sponsor a variety of community events including in 2008 the Dundurn School's Try-All-Athon held in June. Check out a couple of pictures below of the event. Everyone had a great time even if the water is a bit cold at Blackstrap at that time of year.
Orca wetsuits are the standard by which the competition is judged, and we have a full selection of sizes for both men and women in-stock.
Aero helmets may look wild but they will make as much difference as aerowheels at a fraction of the cost.
Skinsuits allow the air to flow over you easier which makes you faster.
Aero waterbottles allow you to stay hydrated without sacrificing speed.
Timetrial booties smooth the air flow over your shoes but aren't that practical for triathlon as they take a while to put on.
Shaved legs won't cost you anything but not everyone is in to that.
Shaved arms you did the legs so why not?
