Why Alpecin-Deceuninck & Fenix-Deceuninck Choose H2O Audio
We design audio gear for athletes who don’t back down from hard miles, hard weather, or hard goals. That’s why becoming the official audio partner of Alpecin-Deceuninck and Fenix-Deceuninck — two of the most respected UCI World Tour cycling teams — isn’t just a partnership. It’s a shared philosophy.
These athletes ride through unpredictable terrain, in every condition, chasing seconds and chasing greatness. Demands like that require equipment that doesn’t just survive the elements — it performs under pressure.
Our TRI 2 Series was made for that reality. Built with bone conduction technology, these headphones stay locked in, loud, and responsive — all while keeping athletes connected to their environment. No wires. No earbuds. No distractions.
Because training at the highest level doesn’t allow for compromise, the teams needed tech that could handle it all. That’s what brought them to H2O Audio.
