You can bring all of the IRONMAN World Championship back together in one place, but the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Canyon has once again taken the top spot in the 2026 Kona Bike Count, with over a fifth of this year’s field riding aboard the direct-to-consumer brand. Cervelo finished in second place, but with Trek gaining ground in third place. Quintana Roo and Specialized rounded out your top five bike brands.
On the wheel count, it’s once again DT Swiss lapping the field in counts. It, like Canyon (which DT Swiss is an OEM supplier for) had a commanding lead over second place Zipp. HED was the third highest single individual brand represented.
Shimano had outstanding performance in the crank, drivetrain, and pedal counts, leading in all three of those categories.
We will further break down the counts and trends over the past couple of years later this weekend, but for now, here are the results.

I just checked profile website and theirs are similar. So as I new brand I should blast logos? I’d prefer to match bikes rather than blast a huge logo as my competitors are doing.
