Boost Your Speed With Smarter Triathlon Accessories: The New EZ BTA Sy

When you look at the fastest athletes in the sport, you’ll notice a pattern: the real gains often come from the smallest pieces of equipment. Among all triathlon accessories, few upgrades deliver more measurable speed than the components you place between your arms on the bike.

That’s why the EZ BTA Bullet has quickly become a standout option for athletes who want aerodynamic efficiency without major changes to their cockpit. The BTA (Between-The-Arms) system is one of the most important zones for airflow, and improving this area can have a far greater impact than many riders expect.

Why Triathletes Are Prioritising Their BTA System

The front of the bike is the first part to hit the wind, and your BTA hydration setup plays a huge role in whether that air flows smoothly or creates drag. A standard bottle has a flat leading edge, which can cause turbulent airflow and energy-losing vortices.

The EZ BTA Bullet helps redirect that airflow into a more streamlined path, smoothing out the turbulence and reducing the separation that naturally occurs around a normal bottle. Even when an athlete’s arms are tucked tightly in front, the Bullet gives the wind a cleaner, more aerodynamic surface to follow.

In simple terms:
Better BTA system = less drag = more speed for the same power.

1. Wind Tunnel Tested With Elite Athletes

Real aerodynamic gains require real testing, and the EZ BTA Bullet has been through exactly that.
At the Silverstone Sports Engineering Hub, the Bullet was tested with World Champion Casper Stornes, who saw improvements even on his highly optimised TT setup.

Savings of ~3.5 watts were recorded at 40 km/h on an elite cockpit.
Age-group athletes can expect the same or greater improvements due to typically less refined airflow.

When placed horizontally, the BTA system delivered the best results, though diagonal placement also improved airflow compared to riding without the Bullet.

2. Fits Any Standard BTA Bottle Mount

One of the best parts about this upgrade is its simplicity.
The Bullet is designed to bolt straight onto most standard triathlon BTA mounts, turning your existing hydration setup into a more aerodynamic solution without needing new hardware or cockpit modifications.

Whether you're running a minimalist aero setup or a traditional BTA cage, the Bullet integrates cleanly and securely.

3. Built-In Nutrition Storage for Race Day

Triathlon accessories should solve more than one problem, and the EZ BTA Bullet does exactly that.

With a built-in gel slot, athletes can store race nutrition directly between their arms without adding clutter or increasing drag. It’s one of the smartest, cleanest storage solutions available for long-course racing.

Watt Savings at Real Riding Speeds

Based on testing:

~2 watts saved at 30 km/h
~3 watts saved at 40 km/h
~4 watts saved at 50 km/h

These gains come from reduced turbulence and a more controlled airflow across the BTA system, crucial because the front of the bike dictates the aerodynamic behaviour of everything behind it.

Why This Matters for Age-Group Triathletes

If you’re chasing time in a race, efficiency matters as much as fitness.
Small aerodynamic improvements often stack up faster than athletes expect, especially on flat or rolling courses where speed stays high for long periods.

With the EZ BTA Bullet, riders can upgrade one of the most influential areas of their bike with:

measurable watt savings
improved hydration placement
additional nutrition storage
compatibility with nearly all BTA systems

All without changing their position or spending thousands on a full cockpit redesign.

Final Thoughts

Triathlon accessories aren't just add-ons, they’re performance tools.
And when it comes to aerodynamics, the BTA system is one of the smartest areas to optimise.

The EZ BTA Bullet offers an easy, affordable, and wind-tunnel-verified way to enhance your setup. If you’re looking for free speed and a cleaner airflow profile, this upgrade belongs on your shortlist.
