Do You Really Need A TT Bike? | Triathlon Vs Road Bike

Should you choose a road bike or a triathlon (time trial) bike for your next triathlon?

But what happens if your race course is FULL of climbs? We put this to the test on the Ironman World Championship course in Nice to see which bike truly comes out on top.
