Ride with TRIGONDec 07, 2025TRIGON Rides Beside You｜U23 Road Race Champion: Chang You-Cheng – Team CYTO TRIGON
At TRIGON, we believe every rider’s dream deserves someone riding beside them. This year, we were honored to support Chang You-Cheng, who claimed victory in the U23 Individual Road Race at the 2025 National Road Cycling Championships with steady pacing, decisive judgment, and precise adaptation to the course. The race concluded on November 23, with strong performances across Team CYTO TRIGON. The Huatung Course: A Test of Versatility The Huatung route is known for its unpredictability:the long ascent of Yuchang Highway, the shifting crosswinds along the coastline, and high-speed sections that demand instant reaction.It challenges every rider—and reveals whether a bike can deliver power and stability when it matters most. For this race, Team CYTO TRIGON riders selected the AR Series, with the AR01 as their primary machine. AR01｜Balancing Aerodynamics, Stiffness, and Lightweight Efficiency The AR01 integrates aerodynamic shaping, responsive stiffness, and a refined lightweight structure to perform across all race scenarios: Stable pacing over long distances Direct and confident sprint acceleration Clear power transfer on steep climbs Reliable control in strong crosswinds On a route that demands versatility, the AR01 showed its full capability. Rider’s Perspective｜Chang You-Cheng: “The AR01 Let Me Focus on the Race” For You-Cheng, the coastline was the most punishing section: “The wind kept shifting, and my energy was fading. That stretch really tested my will.” Throughout the race, the AR01 provided the confidence he needed.He described his experience: Long climb – Yuchang Highway“Every pedal stroke translated smoothly into speed. The downhill felt stable, which let me stay relaxed even at high pace.” Coastal crosswinds“The aero performance made a clear difference. It saved valuable watts—all of which matter in the second half.” High-speed sections“The acceleration is very direct. When an attack happens, the bike reacts immediately.” His trust in the bike comes down to one simple truth:“What reassures me most is its acceleration. When I press down, the bike moves.” On the Huatung course, the AR01 balanced support on long climbs, stability in the wind, and firm power transfer during accelerations. Race Moments｜Crisis, Pressure, and Breakthrough A scare at the start:“My right shifter suddenly ran out of battery. Fortunately, Yue-Xiu and our mechanic Yi-Qian fixed it immediately—otherwise I couldn’t have finished the race.” A familiar moment of being caught:“With 40 km to go, our breakaway was absorbed by the peloton.It hurt—especially because the same thing happened last year.”He described it as “a familiar kind of pain,” but this time, he held his rhythm, steadied his mindset, and turned the moment into a breakthrough—earning the national title. About Chang You-Cheng｜Finding a New Sense of Direction A member of Team CYTO TRIGON：Chang You-Cheng You-Cheng has been riding for nine years, beginning in junior high.His most uncertain period came when he left his original team in college—until a recommendation from senior rider Hsu Yu-Kai led him to TRIGON FACTORY RACING, the predecessor of today’s Team CYTO TRIGON. There, he found a renewed sense of belonging: “Here, I found the feeling of home. That matters more than any victory.” He sees himself as an all-rounder, with endurance, decision-making, and pacing as his core strengths.This U23 title marks the conclusion of his university chapter. Ahead of him are bigger stages:the Asian Championships, Tour de Okinawa, Tour de Taiwan, Tour of Poyang Lake, and preparation for advancing to the Elite category. TRIGON riding Beside You｜Supporting Growth and Ambition Riding alongside our athletes and community is TRIGON’s pride.We believe no rider should face the road alone.Whether in training, racing, or pursuing personal goals, TRIGON aims to be a steady and reliable force at your side. Congratulations once again to Chang You-Cheng, U23 National Champion.For the road ahead—we ride together. #TRIGONBIKE #ClearPerformance #AccomplishBeyondGoals#AR01 #AeroRoad #RoadRacing #U23RoadRace #NationalChampionship #TaiwanCycling#RideWithTRIGON #PerformanceCrafted#teamCYTOTRIGON #張祐誠 #自由車公路錦標賽

Ride with TRIGONOct 15, 2025TRIGON Brings the Passion of Taiwan to Spain
TRIGON carried the warmth of Taiwan onto Spain’s cycling stage. At Sea Otter Europe Girona, we spent three days connecting face-to-face with local riders— We talked about speed, road feel, and that shared passion that transcends language. The Spanish riders’ pursuit of freedom and precision felt deeply familiar, like the wind from southern Taiwan—warm, sincere, and full of life.Across the test-ride zones and race circuits, TRIGON bikes drew attention not just for their look, but for the conversations they inspired. Riders stopped to share their experiences across different terrains, speaking about rhythm, control, and connection. In those exchanges, we realized that whether in Taiwan or Spain, cyclists aren’t chasing numbers alone—they’re searching for a bike that understands them, that moves in harmony with their intent. That exchange is the language TRIGON has always spoken:To listen through design, to respond through craftsmanship, and to understand through every ride. The sunlight in Girona is bright and gentle, the sea breeze carrying both salt and rhythm. The riding spirit here feels natural and focused—just like what TRIGON strives to express. For us, building a frame isn’t about stacking performance metrics; it’s about creating a bike that moves with your body’s rhythm—precise when you push, effortless when you flow. For a new generation of cyclists, a bike is no longer just a symbol of speed, but an extension of personal style and conviction. TRIGON believes the real performance doesn’t need to shout—it exists in the quiet rhythm of motion, where precision and confidence flow with every pedal stroke and every turn. From Taiwan’s craftsmanship and spirit to Spain’s free-spirited passion, we found resonance across the sea.This ongoing dialogue between cultures and riders defines who we are—TRIGON will continue to craft performance and design into one seamless rhythm, riding forward with cyclists around the world.

Bespoke-ProjectSep 14, 2025GV2 "Siam-Spice" The Bespoke-Project
GV2 | Bespoke ProjectSiam-Spice Inspired by a cup of Thai milk tea, Siam-Spice blends a tropical orange tone with refined rose gold, all captured within the GV2 platform. It’s warm with a hint of spice—a rhythm expressed through motion. This one-off frame was created for Elmo Tai: dancer, TV host, mountain guide, creative director. From SO FUNKY to Amazing Crew, from leading rides at TanYue STUDIO to representing Team CYTO TRIGON, Elmo’s story has never stood still. A Locking specialist with sharp control and flow, he brings the same clarity to the trail. For him, rhythm isn’t just music—it’s in the pivot, the breath, the act of departure. The GV2 is TRIGON’s all-road platform, built for tarmac and gravel alike. With long-distance comfort, stable geometry, and full equipment compatibility, it’s made for riders who move between city streets and mountain trails with equal ease—just like Elmo. The Thai milk tea inspiration The frame is finished in a glossy Thai milk tea orange, accented with rose gold logos. In light, the paint shifts gently with subtle depth. The clean lines and integrated fork define a shape made to move forward—visually and physically. The Motion Viewed from an angle, the frame feels like a gesture in motion—precise, but not rigid. Like Elmo’s dance, every shape contains pause and release. Siam-Spice captures that same energy in form. The Details Look to the head tube and seat stay—where rose gold markings speak quietly. It reflects Elmo’s style: bright, but never loud; expressive, but always in control. It’s not just about color—it’s a perspective on rhythm, and the confidence to hold it. The Character Elmo Tai | TRIGON x CYTO ambassadorBest known as the dancer from the hit show Black Paper Boys (模範棒棒堂), Elmo is a host, outdoor leader, rider, and creative force. He co-founded Amazing Crew, was nominated for the 59th Golden Bell Awards in lifestyle programming, and continues to lead Taiwan’s movement culture on and off the bike. To Elmo, riding is more than motion—it’s a declaration of rhythm and style.He doesn’t just move through cities and mountains—he brings both into flow.As “your gear tester,” Elmo believes real experience reveals not just performance, but possibility.As a “life explorer,” he tests not only the road ahead, but what lives inside. Some things you’ll never know until you try.So try—boldly, freely.That’s Elmo. TRIGON Bespoke ProjectWe believe style shouldn’t be copied—it should be lived. Siam-Spice is Elmo’s rhythm in color, a dialogue between movement and freedom. #TRIGONBIKE #GV2 #BespokeProject #SiamSpice #ElmoTai #AccomplishBeyondGoals

Bespoke-ProjectAug 27, 2025RC2 "Stellar-Night" The Bespoke-Project
RC2 | Bespoke ProjectStellar-Night The night says nothing. The stars say everything. Stellar-Night captures that quiet brilliance—black, polished, dusted with pearl glitter like stars across a dark sky. It glows under light and disappears into shadow. Understated, but never unnoticed. This RC2 was custom-painted by a TRIGON product engineer, Jad Chiu. From behind the CAD screen to the saddle, he understands every part of the frame—and chose to express it in a way that only a builder can. The metallic silver logo rests on the sparkle-black finish, not to contrast, but to align. Clean lines. No noise. Full presence. His signature sits on the top tube. Quiet. Precise. Personal.A subtle mark that says: this frame was built, not just bought.It means participation. RC2, built for balance RC2 is TRIGON’s all-round performance platform—designed for both racing and everyday rides. It features a more comfort-oriented geometry while maintaining a stiff, responsive pedaling feel. With optimized carbon layup and material distribution, the RC2 delivers exceptional power transfer and frame integrity. Dropped seatstays improve aerodynamic efficiency while enhancing long-ride compliance. Whether you’re an experienced racer or a new explorer, RC2 adapts to your rhythm. Stars in the night A glossy black base coated with pearl glitter. In direct light, the finish catches like stars in motion. With a silver logo to complete the contrast, the result is a frame that shines—on its own terms. RC2 Clean and Simple RC2’s geometry is streamlined and deliberate. Each section—from the integrated fork to the BB junction—reflects the structural precision TRIGON is known for. Nothing excessive. Everything essential. TRIGON Bespoke Project Stellar-Night We don’t design to impress. We design to express.Stellar-Night is black in motion, starlight in structure—an unspoken conversation between the one who builds, and the one who rides. #TRIGONBIKE #RC2 #BespokeProject #StellarNight#AccomplishBeyondGoals
