Top 5 Best Looking 2016 Time Trial/Triathlon Bikes

Time trial and triathlon bikes are all about speed. But that doesn't stop brands coming out with some stunning designs that not only look fast but are pieces of modern art too. In no particular order these are my top 5 best looking 2016 tt / tri bikes.

1. Cube Aerium C:68
Designed via CFD in conjunction with F1 engineers from Swiss Side and Cube's own development team. The Aerium C:68 is certain to stand out thanks to its unique frame design and fitted with Swiss Sides own Hadron 80+ wheelset the C:68 is a stealth speed machine.

The Canyon Speedmax CF SLX is more function over style. Big on integration like most brands now, the Canyon Speedmax CF SLX is the Swiss army knife of tri and tt bikes. Storage compartments directly in front of the seatpost for essentials as well as further storage for food that Canyon call their "Energy System". The front fairing also doubles up as a aero water bottle.

With a front end that looks like Knifehead from movie Pacific Rim. The Scott Plasma 5 is an intimidating machine. Aggressive styling make the Plasma 5 a bike you don't want to get caught by on the road.

Smooth Clean lines, the Argon 19 E-119 Tri+ has an elegant design when compared to many modern day rivals. Big on integration like the bikes mentioned previously. Though one of the Argon 18's aesthetic highlights are the position of the rear brake. Conventional in that it is in between the seat stays and seat tube. But the horizontal position in unique to the Argon 18 new tri range.

Breaking the rules this bike isn't new, but I couldn't leave it out. Beautiful Italian styling, gave birth to the Bianchi Aquila CV is arguably one of the best looking tt bikes in the market. Natural flowing lines, the Aquila CV looks like its moving when stationary. No storage or detachable fairings for triathlons to ruin the design, this Bianchi Aquila CV is as stylish as it gets.
