TriRig launches Omega X brake, Alpha X bars and Sigma X stem

TriRig has launched three new aero-enhanced products – the Omega X brake, Sigma X stem and Alpha X aerobar cockpit – that look ideal for speed seeking marginal-gain upgrade hunters.

As with the rest of TriRig’s gear, all three 2015 upgrades here appear to exceptionally well-thought out, surprisingly practical and feature that all-important aero focus. They also look great – something not to be underestimated in the triathlon market. Feed your inner aero geek with plenty more images in the gallery above.

TriRig’s original Omega brake has acted as proud figurehead to many a TT or tri bike. The new Omega X (US$185 / approx £125 / AU$240) might look similar to the original, but it’s a complete redesign that hones that wedge and lever design to improve power, ease of adjustment and wheel compatibility – all at a claimed weight of just 134g.

The clever wedge and lever set-up of the original Omega has been altered, with the new geometry of both wedge and levers centring more easily and able to take up more cable. This offers better modulation, with faster and more complete stopping power. A TriRig statement said: “We believe these are every bit as strong as other top brakes on the market today.”

Gone is the faff of unbolting the faceplate – it’s now fitted with a pair of powerful magnets on the rear, providing quick access to the mechanism for installation and adjustment. The installation itself is also quicker thanks to a new ‘home position’ created by the wedge redesign.
