As we're coming towards the end of the 2017 season, we thought we'd put together a list of the top tri-tech that will help you to go faster.

So the best way to make yourself faster is to make yourself as aerodynamic as possible. And the better kit that we saw this year was from Notio Konect, where you attach a small sensor onto the front of your bike, and it gives you your aerodynamic coefficient in real time.

And whilst we were out in Kona, we also spotted a similar device by Swiss Side. Basically, they both enable you to have that real-time aerodynamic analysis, making it much more accessible for people. And you don't need to go and find a wind tunnel.

And there's a great new product from a company called LEOMO, which essentially gives you an alternative if you're going to get a bike fit done. But this time you can actually go out and get it done in real world conditions, out on the bike, out on the road. So it fits to your bike and off you go. And it measures all your parameters, to basically get you the perfect motion when riding. It's a great training tool as well, so your coach can sort of see it each week.

So after the success of the 454, Zipp have now brought out the 858's, using the same Sawtooth rim technology, which now means long-distance athletes have got that super deep-section wheel that's incredibly aerodynamic, but also mega with handling in crosswinds.

And also this year we saw Nike unveil its Vaporfly 4% shoe, which is a really cool shoe. It's got a carbon insert between two layers of foam in the middle. It claims that you can improve efficiency by 4%, which is really neat. So we've seen it on a few athletes. It was debuted at the Breaking2, the two-hour marathon record attempt. Shalane Flanagan's been pictured wearing it. Terenzo Bozzone in the Island House, I think I saw wearing it. There's even recently been, maybe you could say, proof of exceeding that 4%, 'cause Camille Herron, just a week ago, broke the 100-mile record by over an hour, which apparently is pretty much 8%.

At Kona this year, we saw Kask launch their new Mistral helmet. We were very lucky to get our hands on one of the Kona specials. Now it's based on the Bambino, it's just got the extra long tail. And it has some cooling vents here at the front, six there, and then two at the back as well. And on top of these, it's got a couple of, well five actually, cooling vents through the front of the visor, which attaches with a nice magnetic click. And when you're not using it, you just pop it on top.

Another piece of tech launched in Kona this year was the Roka short sleeve swimskin. The advantage of this, you can wear a short sleeve tri suit underneath without having to push it down inside your swimskin, making you more hydrodynamic in the water.
