TOP TEN SWIM, BIKE AND RUN GIFT IDEAS FOR THIS CHRISTMAS!

Each year it seems tougher and tougher to decide what to get our loved ones for Christmas. And so with this in mind we've come up with a list of top ten gift ideas for your swim, bike and run obssessed loved ones!

1. Bike Fit (£100.00) - A bike fit ensures that a rider gets the best out of both themselves and their bikes. It also ensures that they're not doing themselves any long term damage by having a bike position that is biomechanically unsound.

A full 90 minute fit is one of the best things a road rider can have done and with a dedictaed bike fit studio in store and two qualified bike fitters in the team, we're rapidly becoming the 'go to' places for fit services.

2. Hilly Arm iPocket (£18.00) - With an increasing number of runners and riders using apps like MapMyRun and MapMyRide on their iPhone to record training data, the Hilly iPhone pocket makes a really useful gift for the 21st Century athlete in your life. Compatible with both iPhone 3 and 4.

3. Bryton GPS Bike Computer (£99.99-£269.99) - Want all the GPS functionality of a smart phone in a dedicated bike computer? Then look no further that the Bryton range of GPS enabled bike computers.

Massively popular with everyone in the shop and offering - dare we say it - better quality and value than the Garmin range, the Bryton range goes from basic GPS functionality to full colour HD screens with Navteq and OS mapping capabilities.

4.  Camelbak (£39.99-139.99) - A favourite with the mountain bike and distance running communities especially, Camelbak's provide a massive variety of hydration solutions for multiple disciplines and activities where hyrdation on the go is a key requirement.

As the market leader in hydration packs, Camelbak's build quality and reputation are truly second to none and make a fantastic gift idea. 

5. SealSkinz socks & gloves (FROM £25.00) - Warm hands and warm feet can make the difference between loving winter training and loathing it.

Yes; we know it's the old 'socks for Christmas' cliche, but what socks they are!

6. KASK cycling helmet (£80.00-£165.00) - The Italians call it being 'bella in sella' - or 'beautiful in the saddle'. And that principle certainly applies to the stunning range of cycle helmets produced by Kask. Design, quality, safety, aesthtics - and a myriad of neat little design touches - make this an equipment upgrade that everyone will be happy to receive as a Christmas present!

7. Buff (FROM £13.00) - Ahhhh... yes. The humble Buff. Brilliantly simple. Amazingly versatile. And once owned, utterly indespensable. Without doubt the ultimate stocking filler!

8. Light & Motion cycle lights (FROM £89.99) - There are cycle lights to been seen by and those to actually see with. And our Light & Motion range is very much the latter.

The build quality, brightness, functionality of each light are all top knotch and are manufactured with loving care by a company so passionate about lighting it's almost scary!

9. Pool-Mate (FROM £69.99) - The Pool-Mate is an ingenious device that automatically counts laps, strokes, speed, distance, calories and efficiency. Even better is that fact that no calibration is required. Just put it on, swim away and let the Pool-Mate record all your swim training data. The pool-mate makes a brilliant gift for swimmers and also triathletes, as it allows them to record their swim information to the same level as their bike and run training.

10. Trek bike (FROM £325.00) - And in at number ten! (humming TOTP theme tune to oneself optional!] is a brand new bike. If you really want to buy your loved one a gift they'll absoultely go mad for, then it has to be a brand new Trek bike. 

Road, Hybrid, Mountain, Triathlon and Childrens models all come with Trek's passion and love for the bicycle and backed up with their industry-exclusive limited lifetime warranty on every frame produced. This has to be the Christmas gift for 2012!

Winter run and cycle clothing and accessories in stock

Just a quick reminder that we are now stocking a full range of winter run and cycle kit including gloves, hats, hi-viz wear, head torches and countless other essential kit to keep you training throughout the winter months.

Starting at just £29.99 these are a great piece of kit for those who run/walk on dark mornings and evenings. Both the Light & Motion and Princeton Tec range give you quality, safety and peace of mind when out riding or running and make fantastic gift ideas too!

Product of the Month: 2013 Trek 5.2 Madone & tech of new frame

We’ve got a new toy in store in the shape (quite literally!) of the 2013 Trek 5.2 Madone.

This bike takes everything that was great about the original Madone and raises the bar exponentially!

Below are just some of this amazing bikes key features:

• KVF tube shape: The truncated KVF shape uses less material than a conventional airfoil, so it reduces weight as it improves aerodynamics.
• Integrated brakes: Brakes should slow you down, but only when you apply them. We built front and rear brakes directly into the Madone fuselage to keep them hidden from the wind, reducing drag. In addition to improving aerodynamics, integrating the brakes eliminates the need for mounting plates and bolts, saving weight.
• KVF head tube: Super-aero head tube is optimised at the leading and trailing edges for minimum drag.
• KVF fork: All-new fork features KVF aero legs to minimise drag. Its ride-tuned sweep increases compliance for greater comfort, and unique moulded carbon dropouts reduce weight and optimise the wheelbase. The new fork also increases lateral stiffness for ultra-precise handling.
• Brakeless seatstay: Madone’s integrated brakes allowed us to redesign the seatstay, eliminating the brake bridge and removing reinforcing layers to shed weight without compromising performance.Unrestricted by the need for a brake mount, we positioned the stays for best performance and incorporated the KVF shape for maximum aero benefit.

Event News

Then why not use our new demo service to help you decide.

We currently have a 2012 Trek Fuel EX 8 available for 24 hour demo use. The cost of a demo is £35.00 (which will be refunded in the event of you deciding to purchase the bike) and needless to say, terms and conditions of hire apply!

Please feel free to contact us to find out more.

Product of the Month: The Buff®

This month’s product of the month is the humble Buff® - the original multifunctional head wear that’s so brilliantly simple and useful, that once you own one you’ll wonder how you ever got by without it!

Useful for cyclists, runners, gym bunnies, hikers, climbers, motorcyclists, horse riders, skiers and a host of other active people, the Buff® can in a matter of seconds be turned into everything from a neckerchief or wristband to a scarf, headband, mask, hairband and sahariane.

Also making a great gift idea, the Buff® is something that’ll be appreciated (and actually used!) by those who receive one as a present.

At Trisports we stock a wide variety of designs in the Original, Reflective and Polar Buff® ranges and can also order in any design from any range that Buff® make!
