Reynolds is proud to welcome Spanish triathlete Roberto Sánchez Mantecón to our global roster of elite athletes. A rising force in the international triathlon circuit, Roberto brings not only world-class talent and fierce determination, but also a deep commitment to pushing the limits of human performance.
As he continues his pursuit of podium finishes on the world stage, Roberto will be training and racing aboard Reynolds’ most advanced wheel systems: the Blacklabel 46, 60, and 80mm Expert wheels. These wheels represent the pinnacle of aerodynamic performance, engineered for speed, control, and consistency in the most demanding conditions.
A Rising Star in Global Triathlon
Hailing from Spain, Roberto Sánchez Mantecón has made a name for himself with his explosive power on the bike and consistent results across all three triathlon disciplines. He has competed in the ITU World Triathlon Series, earned World Cup victories, and remains a strong contender for major international events—including the Olympics and long-course triathlon formats.
Known for his tenacity, race-day intelligence, and technical bike handling, Roberto is a natural fit for the Reynolds ethos: performance without compromise.
Why Reynolds? Why Now?
Success in triathlon is determined by seconds, and nowhere is that more evident than in the bike leg. In Roberto’s words, “Everything counts—especially when you’re riding 40, 60, 90 kilometers. I need equipment I can trust, that makes me faster but also helps me stay calm and focused in any weather.”
That’s where Reynolds comes in.
The Blacklabel Expert Series, in 46mm, 60mm, and 80mm depths, offers tunable aerodynamics for every race profile—from punchy Olympic-distance courses to long, flat IRONMAN bike legs. But more than just raw speed, these wheels deliver something every triathlete values: control.
DET2 Profile: Aerodynamics You Can Actually Use
All of Roberto’s Reynolds wheels feature our proprietary DET2 rim profile—an aerodynamic shape refined through wind tunnel testing and real-world feedback from professional athletes. While many wheels promise speed, Reynolds designs for usable speed.
DET2 technology optimizes airflow not only at head-on angles but also in yaw conditions, making it especially valuable on gusty, variable courses. The result? More stability, less steering correction, and less energy spent fighting the wind.
This gives Roberto the ability to stay in his most aerodynamic position longer, reducing drag not only from the bike—but from the rider. It’s a synergy of engineering and physiology that can make the difference between finishing with the pack and standing on the podium.
What's Ahead
With a race calendar that spans short-course showdowns and long-course challenges, Roberto’s 2025 season promises to be thrilling—and fast. As he refines his training and targets peak form, Reynolds is proud to be his technical partner, offering the speed, reliability, and race-day edge that world-class triathletes demand.
