>>1578884>Tri bikes are so much faster than road bikes while still having a rather normal overall layout without aero fairings.Only because of the position, a bike like the one in your pic is not much faster compared to a similar level road bike if the rider is on the base bars. All the extra speed comes form the position you can get into on the aerobars and if your fit is set up correctly you can get pretty much all that benefit by adding clip-on aerobars to an aero road bike. Position, tucking your head down, wearing aero clothing and helmet and deep section wheels all have a much bigger effect than the frame itself.
