"Never in ANY triathlon have my legs felt so fresh after stepping off my bike to transition."
What does comfort have to do with going fast? Everything, actually. The better you feel on your bike, the longer you can sustain an aggressive position. The less your bike "beats you up," the more energy you'll have to push hard later on, whether it's for the end of a triathlon or for that interval training you have planned for tomorrow afternoon.
GURU's approach to designing bikes puts a premium on
position sustainability – it's what we call comfort when we
want to impress the techies. Over and above the ride-enhancing
qualities of our custom fit platform, it's the way we
make our frames that delivers superior comfort to the rider.
Advanced, premium-quality materials are ‘slow-cooked’
by our in-house craftsmen
to ensure the very best fit
and finish in the industry.
In the end, our unique capacity
to integrate the latest technology
into a custom platform results in
an unparalleled ride quality, one
that has become legendary in cycling
circles. With a GURU bike, you will
experience a silky smooth power
that will have
you looking forward to your
next ride the instant you
get off the saddle.
One last thing: remember to look at your cycle computer when determining how fast you're going. To quote Ian Buchanan (Fit Werx), one of the world's foremost authorities on cycling performance:
"How can a smoother and more vibration-damp frame feel slower but be faster? In much the same way that a luxury automobile can feel like it is going 60 mph when it is actually going 80 mph and a more basic automobile can feel like it is going 80 mph when it is actually going 60 mph. More refined and tuned technology simply puts less strain on the athlete, handles more predictably and is more confidence-inspiring at speed."
Conclusion: when it comes to cycling, it's better to be fast than to feel fast.
