Had it fitted. Overall excellent, still learning and looking to improve, and not settle on the first fitting.

Initially took several rides to adapt to the new body positioning and aero bars. My body is continuing to grow more accustomed to the bike. Needless to say, I'm comfortable as I could ever be after 60mi ride
(something I cringe at the thought of doing on my 2011 Specialized Allez
).

Top notch, quality product... of course it is durable until you crash it. A carbon bike will never survive what an aluminum bike could.

No complaints here. I am very satisfied with the idea "you get what you pay for"... solid investment.

No denying it's a beautiful steed.

Bought it from Final Kick - hands down the best bike/tri shop in Hampton Roads area.

Top notch. My bike splits in my first two races this year are a testimony to the exemplary performance opportunity the P2 offers.
Strengths
Very light, minimalist bike. Feels very aggressive and encourages you to push harder, while being more efficient.
Weakness
Not to sure I like the stock saddle. That's a personal issue I need to figure out... no hit on the overall product.
Summary
There's a reason this is the top TT bike at IM races worldwide, and I experienced it first hand. There's something to be said about smaller companies that focus on specifics and that are born building those specific products. I've always had the most trust in companies that specialize in certain areas/products vice the companies that are essentially the walmart of sports. I have yet to be let down
(Cervelo and Newton
).
Would you buy again from this company?
Yes
No
