Triathlon bikes are designed specifically to be ridden comfortably and efficiently in an aerodynamic position using elbow-rest style aero bars. Triathlon geometry bikes facilitate the transition from cycling to running better than road geometry bikes.
The critical elements to maximizing the benefits of a triathlon bike are fit and position. Installing aero handlebars on a standard road bike (as opposed to a tri bike) exerts two changes on a rider’s position: The rider’s upper torso is more stretched out with the hands and elbows farther forward, and the angle between the femur (thigh) area of the leg and the torso becomes "sharper" or more acute. There is less distance between the thigh and the torso at the top of the pedal stroke. These two changes mean that a road bike with aerobars becomes less comfortable. Because of the close proximity of the femur (thigh) to the torso (chest/stomach/abdomen) at the top of the pedal stroke (10 o’clock to 2 o’clock pedal position) the rider will feel too "cramped". At the same time the increased distance from saddle to aerobars on a road bike usually makes the rider too stretched out for stable handling.This is more than just a sensation. This tight angle from femur to torso can prevent the rider’s diaphragm from contracting fully and make efficient breathing more difficult. Additionally, there is an increased amount of flexion in the gluteus muscles and the hamstring) muscles on the back of the leg. This means they cannot contract as powerfully. More problems associated with fitting aero bars to a road bike are lower back pain; mostly from a position that is too stretched out and increased saddle discomfort.
A triathlon bike is specifically designed to eliminate these problems. The angle of the seat tube on a triathlon bike is typically 76-78 degrees. A typical road bike seat angle is 73-74 degrees. This steeper seat angle serves to open the distance between the thigh and the torso up, easing muscular tension in the legs and lower back and making breathing easier.
