SRAM got its start through triathlon – the first product founder Stan Day envisioned was the Grip Shift which those of us old enough to have ridden a tri bike in the late 80s and early 90s will fondly remember. Things have come a long way since then and the company is involved in all aspects of the cycling world, but today’s announcement of its sponsored athletes highlights its triathlon roots.
SRAM has done a great job of covering the bases – the list includes Olympic favourites (including both defending Olympic gold medalists) along with athletes we’re likely to see competing on the PTO and Ironman tours this year. The two-time reigning Ironman 70.3 world champion Taylor Knibb (who is also off to Paris next summer and is pictured above) is also part of the stacked list.
Here’s a breakdown of who will be working with the company in 2024:
