We look at the bikes, groupsets, wheels, and equipment of the 2022 Women’s World Tour peloton.
The 2022 Women’s World Tour finally kicks off this weekend at the iconic Strade Bianche one day event. Following the cancellation of the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Race, the Women’s World Tour peloton will once again descend on the white roads of Tuscany for the opening round of this year’s racing season. As the riders prepare to tackle the dusty roads and steep climbs, it is time for our annual look at all the bikes in the Women’s World Tour peloton.
The World Tour has grown from nine teams in 2021 to 14 for 2022, which of course, means many more bikes to enjoy this year.
Canyon-SRAM
EF Education-Tibco-SVB
Human Powered Health
Team SD Worx
Team SD Worx are adopting the “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” approach to its 2022 team bike. Apart from a new paint job on its Tarmac SL7, the team will race with identical equipment options to last year. The S-Works frames are built with, you guessed it, SRAM’s Red Etap AXS groupsets and Quarq power meters. Zipp is again supplying the wheelsets, while it’s over to Specialized again for the tyres and saddles. Back under the SRAM umbrella again, Time provides the team with its pedals. Tacx supplies the team with bottles, cages, and trainers, while the team uses head units from Tacx’s parent company, Garmin.
Team Trek-Segafredo
Trek-Segafredo is another team sticking with largely the same setup for 2022. The team races on the Trek Madone and the Emonda, both equipped with SRAM Red Etap AXS groupsets and Quarq power meters. Bontrager provides the team’s components, saddles, and wheels. Pirelli is now a named sponsor on the TSF kit and supplies the team with its P-Zero tyres.
The riders will race and train with Wahoo head units again, and for the first time, Wahoo has provided home trainers as well. The team lists Kogel bearings as a partner, Stans No Tubes presumably for tubeless sealant and, interestingly, Notio aerometers, although don’t expect to see these in use on race day.
