2XU continues elite triathlon partnership in Hungary!

In recent months we’ve been busy designing a new, seriously high performance, one of a kind team triathlon uniform.  Who for this time?

The Hungarian Triathlon Federation and Budapest Triathlon World Champs is back this year and Team Hungary will proudly compete in 2XU’s world class race suits for this highly anticipated event. 

As the world leader in producing elite triathlon apparel, we’re also delighted to have been appointed Exclusive Merchandising Partner of these World Championships for technical clothing in 2010!

The World Champs in Budapest will take place from September 8-12, 2010 – MORE HERE

Team 2XU Dominates Nissan/BRW Corporate Triathlon Melb 2010!

Not only did 2XU apparel dominate the field of 1400 teams (4200 competitors) who took to Melbourne’s Elwood Beach for yesterday’s Nissan/BRW Corporate Triathlon Corporate Triathlon yesterday, but took out the #1 place in the Corporate Male section.

In a cracking form, Team 2XU’s Chris Bradford (2XU Compression – aka “the aggressor”), Jamie Hunt (2XU Co-founder and Product Development Manager – aka “the guru”) and Keith Falconer (2XU Hawthorn Regional Retail Manager – aka “the Falcon”) crossed the finish line in 2:02:56. 

A superb effort was put in by all three boys who stepped up to prove they were every bit as ‘high performance’ as the brand they were wearing and proudly espouse every day!  All three donned 2XU’s X:1 (newly released this summer under 2XU’s Project:X line) wetsuit for the swim and stripped down to a classic 2XU Super Elite Trisuit for the 10km sprint cycle and 4km run. 

Great work boys – can’t wait to see you take out there again soon!

Furthermore – for all those who made their triathlon debut yesterday  – welcome!  We hope you’re now as hooked as we are and look forward to assist you with all your future high performance endeavours.
