The Brief

To craft a lightweight, aerodynamic bike box for a Team GB triathlete.

A Team GB athlete approached us with the need for a specialised storage solution for their Pro triathlon bike that wouldn’t impact performance. The bike box needed to securely hold essential items, like CO2 canisters and inner tubes, without compromising the bike’s aerodynamic efficiency or adding unnecessary weight.

Combining advanced materials with innovative design to meet the toughest demands.

Optimising Strength Without the Weight

The solution leveraged an internal hexagonal core structure, offering exceptional strength while minimising bulk. Using advanced software like nTopology, GP optimised the lattice design to deliver superior impact resistance, keeping items safe during grueling races while maintaining an ultralight profile.

Seamless Aerodynamics

The box’s outer surface was meticulously crafted to align with the bike’s sleek profile. Every contour and angle was designed to reduce drag, ensuring the box integrated seamlessly with the bike’s natural aerodynamics.

Cutting-edge Manufacture

High-quality materials and precise engineering to ensure peak performance.

To withstand the demands of elite racing, the bike box was manufactured with lightweight, impact-resistant materials. The hexagonal core handled vibrations and impacts, while the exterior was fine-tuned for durability and aesthetics.

The result

A collaboration that highlights the power of engineering in elite sports.

The Pro Triathlon bike box is a testament to how cutting-edge design and manufacturing can meet the unique demands of elite athletes. By focusing on both form and function, we delivered a solution that didn’t just meet expectations—it elevated them.
