Massive has introduced a brand new Trinity Complicated SL time trial/triathlon frameset, in addition to the parallel Liv Avow Complicated SL ladies’s model. It claims that the brand new frames be offering decrease weight, progressed aerodynamics and extra keep watch over, in addition to larger adjustability.
The former era 2016 Trinity/Avow was once taking a look decidedly oldschool, and Massive has swapped to disc brakes from rim brakes and re-designed the frameset, cockpit and hydration/feed answers for the brand new motorcycle. Tyre clearance is now 30mm.

On the similar time, Massive claims a smoother experience due to an build up in compliance of 28 % on the armrests and one hundred pc on the seatpost.
Each tri and TT framesets take pleasure in a brand new fork, which is helping to defend the disc brake calliper. The body tube profiles had been up to date too, including to the aero potency.
Larger adjustability

Cadex claims that, in addition to being 150g lighter than its predecessor, the brand new disc wheel has over 50 % larger lateral stiffness and over 20 % larger transmission stiffness.
The wheels spin on Cadex hubs with ceramic bearings, with a claimed 30 % relief in friction.
The Aero 4-Spoke wheels percentage the 22.4mm width hookless rim of the disc rear wheel and roll on a low friction aero hub, additionally with ceramic bearings.
The entrance wheel has a 50mm deep profile, whilst the rear wheel is 65mm deep. Cadex claims higher aero efficiency and stiffness-to-weight than the Roval 51/321 and Zipp 858 wheelsets, in line with its checking out.
The brand new 4-Spoke wheels are claimed to be 6.4 watts sooner at 45km/h within the new Trinity/Avow frameset than the Cadex 65 WheelSystem within the earlier era body.
