The TRIGON AR01 is a high-end, all-round carbon road bike from Taiwan, praised for its stunning aesthetics, attention to detail, and balanced ride quality. However, it is expensive, and the optional Black Tech wheels have been criticized for their weight and ride characteristics.

Pros

  • Stunning visual appeal, with unique look that stands out on group rides1
  • Attention to detail, including golf ball-style dimples and disc brake caliper shrouds1
  • Stiff yet comfortable ride, with good handling and confidence-inspiring1
  • Integrated cockpit with comfortable bar and thumb shifters1
  • Multiple bottle cage mounts and 32c tire clearance for versatility1
  • UCI approved frame1
  • High-end carbon frame from a reputable Taiwanese manufacturer that produces for prestigious brands2
  • T47 bottom bracket spins very smoothly2

Cons

  • High price: $8,990 for complete bike, $4,045 for frameset1
  • Optional Black Tech wheels are heavy (approx 1,500g), stiff with low vertical compliance, and use hookless rims which the reviewer considers not ready for road1
  • Frameset price is close to S-Works level, making value questionable1
  • Not the lightest bike2
  • Not the most aero bike2
  • Removable fairings are not UCI legal (but can be removed)2

Key Facts

  • Complete bike weight 6.8 kg without pedals (with Dura-Ace groupset)1
  • Frame weight estimated around 800-900g1
  • Tire clearance up to 32c1
  • Integrated bar weight 320g1
  • T47 bottom bracket with threaded cups2
  • Integrated one-piece bar and stem from sister brand Black Tech, with climbing shifters on the tops2
  • Removable fairings on front and rear disc calipers to reduce drag2
  • Frame has dimples on fork, down tube, and head tube to trip airflow2

This Bike Got Me Through My Hardest Challenge Ever | TRIGON AR01

The reviewer discusses the TRIGON AR01 as a high-end carbon road bike from a Taiwanese brand that manufactures for prestigious brands. It is described as an 'all-round' bike, not the lightest nor most aero, but a balance of both. The bike features aero-optimized tube shapes, dimples on the fork, down tube, and head tube to trip airflow, and removable fairings on the disc calipers. The reviewer praises the integrated one-piece handlebar with climbing shifters, the T47 bottom bracket for smooth spinning, and the overall build quality. The bike is set up for an ultra-endurance race with a compact chainset, 11-34 cassette, 160mm rotors, and waxed chain.
