"This is a great bike whether you're a beginner or not, even if you have more to spend on a bike you'd most likely get more benefits from a Dual and an aero wheelset than going to the next frame up."RI_Tri22

(5)

Quality of Construction

Excellent quality as usual with Cervelo, welds look great, haven't had any problems

(5)

Fit

I ordered a 58cm Dual (same size as my road bike Felt F90) and it fits me well

(4)

Comfort

I'm comfortable enough, although I found my friend's Giant TCR aero2 to be more comfortable for me which is why I couldn't give it a 5. For an aluminum tri bike it is comfortable though.

(5)

Adjustability

Everything that needs to be adjustable is, if I'm nitpicking the seat clamp is a it of a pain to tighten, same design as the Profile Design FF clamp

(5)

Durability

Knock on wood the bike has withstood everything I've thrown at it, from carrying me around when I was 230+ lbs, to 4-5 hour trainer rides, to completing my first Ironman.....plus the occasional spill here and there

(5)

Value

Fantastic value! I did a lot of research before buying this bike and no where else can you get a Dura Ace outfitted tri bike, with a Vision cockpit, and a proven aerodynamic frame for anywhere close to this price.

(4)

Appearance

I do like the appearance, but the paint options from previous years where better (i.e. red/black, blue/black)
I went with silver over the yellow

(0)

Customer Service

Haven't had to use it

(5)

Performance

Performance has been great, it's light, accelerates quickly, and climbs well.

Strengths

Best value in tri bikes, comfortable, fast, light

Weakness

Not as sexy as it's carbon cousins
