Cam Main’s Ironman Texas 2026 Bike Setup — Triathlete

After migrating from short-course racing, Cam Main is ushering in a new era of Scottish strength in long-course triathlon — picking up the baton from recently retired fellow Scot David McNamee. Despite being only 26 years old, Main has already made his mark with a win at 70.3 Knokke-Heist in 2025 and then truly broke through late last year with a victory at Ironman Western Australia.

Unsurprisingly, Main’s short-course roots means he has a swimmer’s pedigree, so look for him in the front group (or off the front, if he chooses) out of the water at Ironman Texas tomorrow. From there, he’ll need to carefully manage his effort in light of such a killer group of strong cyclists if he wants to unleash his other strength: his run.

Uniquely, Main has chosen to ride a brand-new Bianchi Aquila TT (the first this editor has featured in over a decade covering the pro side of the sport) as a part of the Bianchi Pro Team, with hopes that it can speed him along the flat-and-fast course of Ironman Texas.

We stopped by Main’s place just before he begins his 2026 campaign, and he walked us through the striking setup which includes some decidedly Euro-leaning components and design. The best news? Main’s accent is substantially easier to understand than McNamee’s.
