Giant introduces Trinity tri bikes at Kona

Published October 14, 2015

KONA, Hawaii  — Giant introduced its new Trinity triathlon bikes last week during a global media launch at the Ironman World Championships. The new range of composite bikes includes two series: Trinity Advanced Pro and Trinity Advanced.

A fully UCI-legal time trial version of the new bike, the Trinity Advanced Pro TT, is also being introduced as a frameset for road racers.

The flagship Trinity Advanced Pro model, raced at Kona by Ironman pro Tim Van Berkel, features Giant’s AeroSystem Shaping Technology and a number of triathlon-specific features including the AeroVault integrated hydration and storage system, integrated rear brake fairing and AeroDrive fork, stem and base bar.

Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis and dynamic wind-tunnel testing, more than 250 frame configurations were developed and tested before the Trinity Advanced Pro design was finalized. Giant worked closely with the Aero Concept Engineering facility in Magny-Cours, France, during this process.

The Trinity Advanced features the same Advanced-grade composite frame as the Advanced Pro, but without the integrated AeroVault system, rear brake fairing and AeroDrive fork, stem and base bar.

For road racers, the Trinity Advanced Pro TT frameset features the same Advanced-grade composite frame along with a special AeroDrive TT Advanced-grade fork, stem and handlebar that’s UCI legal for time trial competition.

The range of Trinity triathlon and TT bikes will be available in select markets through Giant retailers starting in November.
