Taking on an alias lets you be someone different, and now there is a bike that provides that quick change as well. Specialized has launched a new line of bikes aimed at women who train and compete in triathlons. The Alias model is designed to allow riders to easily switch between a triathlon race position with aero bars and a traditional road position for training. This bike features geometry and components that allow for a quick position change.
A 35 millimeter setback seatpost works for the traditional road position, while swapping to a zero-offset post and installing aero bars preps the bike for a triathlon or time trial. The carbon frame features aero tube shaping to help cut through the wind.
The Alias will be available in three complete bike models. The Alias Pro Tri will retail for $6,000, the Comp Tri will retail for $3,300 and the Sport Tri will be $2,600.
