Collection: Cockpit

The cockpit is not just the handlebars and stem at the front of the bike – it’s your primary control center. Whether you’re racing a triathlon, time trial or road race, cockpit setup plays a crucial role in aerodynamics, comfort and control. A well-optimized cockpit can make a noticeable difference to your watts, your stability and, most importantly, your ability to maintain an efficient position over time.

At Transition Zone you will find a carefully selected range of cockpit components from Drag2Zero, Aerogain, Aerocoach and Zipp – all brands focused on speed, precision and positioning. Whether you are looking for extensions, base bars, risers, pads or complete cockpit solutions, we have the parts to help you get faster and more comfortable in your aero position.

Aerodynamics are one of the most crucial factors in both triathlon and time trial, and your cockpit is where you can really reap the benefits. Components from Drag2Zero and Aerocoach are among the most used in the pro world, allowing for a tailored setup for both position and preference.

Whether you prefer a low and aggressive position with minimal frontal surface or a more comfortable but still effective setup, you can adjust everything from arm pads and angle to the length of your extensions. With products from Aerogain, you get lightweight and functional components that both look good and perform at the highest level - perfect for triathletes who want full customization.

Zipp contributes with carbon base bars and extensions, where weight, stiffness and comfort go hand in hand. With precise adjustment options and high quality in every detail, it's easy to find the setup that matches your body and your ambitions.

An aerodynamic cockpit is only effective if it also gives you comfort and stability, especially over long distances. Therefore, it's not just about getting low and narrow, but about being able to hold the position without losing control or getting sore shoulders and arms.

By combining components from e.g. Aerocoach and Drag2Zero you can create a cockpit where the armrests fit exactly to your width and forearm length, and where the angle of your extensions matches your body. With adjustable risers and mounting systems you have the opportunity to find the perfect balance between aero and ergonomics.

Furthermore, comfort is a key factor in watt output. A stable and relaxed position minimizes energy loss and muscle tension, and makes it easier to deliver consistent power to the pedals – especially in triathlons, where cycling is only one part of the performance.

When you invest in an optimized cockpit, you’re not just investing in cycling equipment – you’re investing in more speed for fewer watts. For both recreational cyclists and elite athletes, cockpit setup can have a major impact on performance and recovery. A correct setup can result in lower heart rates, better oxygen uptake, and the ability to outperform yourself in both training and race day.

At Transition Zone, we've gathered the best cockpit components on the market from Drag2Zero, Aerocoach, Aerogain and Zipp, so you can put together the solution that's right for you and your bike. Whether you ride a traditional frame, integrated front or TT setup, we have the parts to fit.

We recommend that you think of your cockpit setup as a whole: Base bar, extensions, risers, arm pads and brackets must work together – both technically and ergonomically. And with our equipment you can adjust and fine-tune for the optimal setup.
