UFC Fighter Cole Miller Prepares For Next Fight With Stradalli Cycle TTR-8 Time Trial Bike

American Top Team veteran UFC fighter Cole “Magrinho” Miller is currently training for his next MMA fight with his new Stradalli Cycle full carbon time trial TTR-8 bike to help improve his conditioning not only for the octagon but for triathlons which Miller has become a huge fan of competing in.

“It started years ago when I was on the show The Ultimate Fighter in 2007 and some of the guys told me about how they rode bikes and did triathlons to keep their cardio up. I was hooked from that point on. I love the races and I love riding bikes. American Top Team has a great relationship with Stradalli Cycle and I went over there to get my first bike. Now I own 3 and I ride them everywhere. The ATT full carbon road bike is the beast I use all the time, I abuse it and it takes a pounding and keeps going. Then I have a carbon Fixie from Stradalli I use when I ride up to Starbucks for coffee or go somewhere in town. Just love being on the bike and it really helps keep my knees healthy during training.” Cole Miller

A professional MMA fighter since 2003, Miller has been using Stradalli Cycle full carbon bikes for training since 2007 while also training at American Top Team academy in Coconut Creek, Florida. He was a member of Jens Pulver’s Team on TUF 5, and is a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu black belt who has fought under both featherweight and lightweight divisions.  

Many also remember Miller for calling out Conor McGregor back in 2014. The two were originally slated to fight in the main event of UFC Fight Night but injuries kept Miller from fighting.

“A big misunderstanding people have about MMA and UFC is that they think you can only get hurt during a fight. Fighters put their bodies through so much during training that it can often do as much or more damage. That’s why cycling has become such a popular form of cardio for MMA fighters. It’s not just that it is a great way to build endurance, it protects your body from the wear and tear you get from other forms of training like running.”

Finding The Right Time Trial Bike For You

The right time trial bike can make all the difference in the world more than how cool it may look. Being on a great frame, having the proper arm position and comfort and overall position on the bike can feel amazing. When you put it all together and you are riding correctly you can find yourself in a comfortable position but also minimizing wind drag. 

Believe it or not your bike only accounts for 10 percent of the surface area that the wind hits. The other 90 percent is you. Having good position on a frame that fits you correctly is more important that spending an insane amount of money on an expensive frame that doesn't help you to go any faster. 

Another important tip is flat time trials and how aerodynamics count for much more than you would expect. The lighter you are doesn't necessarily equal a faster time. TT bikes are actually heavier than most road bikes because they often have a thicker and wider frame. 

When you are choosing a bicycle position and comfort are always important but you want to make sure you can adjust the front end which a lot of riders fail to do before making a purchase. The front end of the TTR-8 for example was engineered to be as stiff and clean as possible and while also being adjustable. 

The trick was to do this and still provide a time trial frame that was suitable for riders of all shapes and sizes. We did this by keeping the top tube length shorter than a traditional time trial frame, but only slightly, which has most riders looking like a speeding bullet on a bike. 

This bike was not designed with any particular group of riders in mind. Some companies, such as Cervelo, design frames specifically for courses such as the Hawaii Ironman which was flat and windy. They are great bikes, but Stradalli has a different customer in mind. The Phantom 2 and the TTR-8 were design to meet every rider’s needs, whatever their situation may be, to ensure they achieve the best possible position. A good bike should be a bike that helps the rider perform well under any circumstance.

Having a great frame with quality is paramount for any rider but never assume that in order to pay that you have to pay top dollar. Look for the right bike for you, not the most expensive. That's where you will find the best time trial bike for you to race on. 

5 Sports That Benefit From Cycling As A Form Of Cardio Training

Cross training is nothing new and it is gaining popularity at high schools, colleges and even the pro level. For years you only did workouts based on the sport you were training for but then it was discovered that taking training tactics used for other sports may help an athlete to improve in their own arena. MMA fighters use cycling all the time to help improve their endurance without putting strain on their bodies, especially their knees.

You already know that riding a full carbon road bike down A1A for an hour gives you all the cardio you need to improve endurance and unlike running it doesn’t put a tremendous amount of pressure on your knees, back and joints. What you may not know is there are multiple sports where cycling, especially training on full carbon road bikes have actually become part of the routine for pro athletes.

1.       MMA: Of course we will start with MMA because they are the best example. These larger than life gladiators train to battle each other in hand to hand combat. However, when it comes to getting their cardio in they prefer the advantages that the bicycle allows them rather than putting on their running shoes.

2.       Basketball: Now this one surprises people because while playing basketball you have to run up and down the court hundreds of times so it only makes sense that you would train by running. That’s old school tactics that simply don’t work. Look at Lebron James, he rides his bike to and from games because it helps him to improve his durance but also takes the strain off of his knees. That’s the point athletes have found with cross training with a bike, if you run during the game and run during practice the last thing you want to do is run during training as well. You have to give your body a break but still find a quality cardio to help you improve and get stronger. Riding a bicycle does that.

3.       Hockey: This one doesn’t surprise anyone but what few people know is when hockey players usually ride bikes, immediately after a game. Yes, many players like to ride for at least 30 min directly after a game because it stretches out their legs, helps them improve their endurance but also spares their legs from anymore wear and tear.

4.       Football: Giant men pushing and hitting each other for an hour a week so why not have them run to train? That’s asking for trouble which is why many football gyms have an abundance of stationary bikes to help their players get in a safe form of cardio. Have you ever watched a game and noticed at least 1 bike on the sideline for the players to use when they need to stretch out their legs? There’s a reason.

5.       Cycling: No seriously, how does a cyclist train for a race, they ride a full carbon road bike. So if an MMA fighter, a basketball start, a hockey player and a football giant are all riding a bike to get into better shape why wouldn’t a cyclist do it? Here’s the catch, they ride for 5 hours or more a day to prepare, not exactly something you should try on your first trip but it gives you an idea of the commitment it takes to be able to handle those major races like the Tour De France.

Why do we care about how athletes train if we aren’t playing a sport? Science, sports teams have spent billions of dollars in research to find new ways to make their athletes stronger, faster but also help them to heal and get injured less often. If they have a secret we want to know about it, not so we can go play in the Super Bowl but because we want to get healthier. Cross training opened our minds to the idea that maybe other sports have something to offer that we can incorporate in our routines and the one thing nearly every sport seems to be on board with is hopping on a full carbon road bike and taking it for a ride.

Stradalli Cycle Does Great at NCC Andersen Banducci Twilight Criterium

A stacked field and big crashes did little to slow down the Stradalli Cycle Pro Race Team Saturday night at the Andersen Banducci Twilight Criterium in Boise, Idaho. It was a USA Crits AND NCC Crits Race which means the field was stacked with tough competition.

The team refused to allow the excuses to stop them.They will leave Boise, Idaho with Ruben Companioni still in first place in the USA Crits overall standings. Hector F. Aguilar also raced well and should be jumping into the top 5. But those weren’t the only racers that did well Saturday night.

Yosvany Falcon, Abel Quintana, Jose Frank Rodriguez and Sebastian Morfin all spent time near the lead, often times going head to head with some of the top names and teams in professional cycling.

Stradalli is waiting for confirmation but it is believed that the team is in first place overall in the USA Crits series which means they could hold the top team spot as well as individual.

“This race was unreal. It was just top team after top team out there and I didn’t know what to expect but every time, no joke, every single time the field came around I saw a group of our guys together. Sometimes it was a few guys, sometimes it was 2 groups of 2 but they stuck together the entire night to make sure we did our best overall. People will look at the standings and see Ruben and Hector and that’s awesome, but if you were at the race tonight you saw every Stradalli Cycle pro racer near the lead. That’s pretty cool!” Stradalli Cycle CEO Tom Steinbacher

Ruben Companioni was very appreciative of how his teammates supported him throughout the race. “Every time I looked up there were guys trying to box me in, right on me trying to beat me. That orange jersey is like a target when you are out there. But every time I got put in a tough spot or a disadvantage one of my teammates either came up with me or went ahead to help break up the leaders or do something that helped me get back up in line. It’s not easy going out there knowing every team and racer wants to slow you down but when your teammates are literally fighting for you, it makes you want to try even harder because you know they are doing it for you.”

There are still plenty of races to go but a statement was made tonight by the team. No matter where it is, no matter who is in the field, the Stradalli Cycle pro race team is not only here to compete, but they are here to win.

Buy the same full carbon road bikes used by the pro team on EBay now! 

An Awesome Road Trip for the Stradalli Cycle Pro Race Team

The Stradalli Cycle pro race team has arrived in Boise Idaho for the USA Crits and NCC race Saturday night. This is a huge opportunity for the team as racer Ruben Companioni currently has the jersey in the overall standings for USA Crits and the team itself is 2nd overall.

The trip has been a lot of fun and there will be tough competition, but they are ready.
