Mirinda "Rinny" Carfrae is the defending Ironman World Champion, back to stop all challengers from encroaching on her reign, which was stamped with authority last year with her record-setting performance. She is one half of triathlon's resident power couple, along with husband Tim O'Donnell, a respected champion in his own right. Here we detail her impressive Felt IA bike, appointed very much like her 2013 rig, but with a new fluo green paint job. We also take a look at how it compares to Tim's Trek Speed Concept. Enjoy the gallery!

After a few sponsor changes throughout the years, Tim and Rinny have each landed at separate homes: Rinny is with Felt, and Tim with Trek. But they have something in common: their bikes are incredible. Here are a few shots showing off these impressive rigs, and their equally-impressive riders.
