Three Tour-worthy upgrades you can make today These easy upgrades get you closer to pro-level performance
It takes more than great gear to race with the pros. Years of dedicated training, handling skills honed over countless thousands of miles on the road, and a measure of super-human endurance—and that’s just the start of it. But if you’re looking for a shot at the big leagues, having the right equipment is a great first step.
Here are three Tour-worthy upgrades you can make today to improve the quality of your ride and your performance. It’s the same gear ridden by the pros of Trek-Segafredo in the world’s biggest road races. Grab it today and you’ll be one pedal stroke closer to the World Tour.
