Emma Pallant, a former world duathlon champion and silver medalist at the Ironman 70.3 World Championship, has enjoyed a great year of 70.3 racing in 2019, taking a pair of wins this fall at Ironman 70.3 Cascais and Ironman 70.3 Lanzarote. We managed to find her bike in transition at the Laguna Phuket Triathlon, where she finished second.

Pallant’s bike is set up in transition the day before the race in Laguna Phuket.
Pallant runs DT Swiss ARC 1100 Dicut wheels, opting not to use a disc for the steep 18 percent climbs on the Phuket course.
Behind her Sella Italia saddle is one of the two water bottle cages she has on the bike.
The storage kit serves as a perfect spot for her race number.
The Shimano Ultegra derailleur is modified with Ceramic Speed pulley wheels.
The Vision 54 tooth chainring sits on the FSA crank. Pallant uses Speedplay pedals and an FSA PowerBox power meter.
Pallant has replaced the traditional BMC V-stem with a flatter option to attain a lower position. Her second water bottle cage sits in between her arms.
XLab Gorilla Cages are used up front and behind her saddle.
Nothing else in sight – a clean look to cut through the wind.
