Quality of Construction

Outstanding construction, I took it to my local bike shop for final tweaks on the fitting and to tune it, and the owner was very impressed.

(5)

Fit

The questionnaire for fitting was very comprehensive, and Pete from Valdora was very helpful in making sure that that the bike I ordered was fit right. I did not expect as good a fit from a bike purchased over the internet, but this bike is right on.

(5)

Comfort

I switched from a road bike set up with a fast forward seat post and profile design aero bars, and the change was noticeable right away. I have logged 50 mile training rides and have bee n able to stay in my aero position the entire ride.

(5)

Adjustability

I only needed minor adjustments to the fitting, but with the fitting support I received from Valdora, there was enough room to make significant adjustments if I need it.

(0)

Durability

No issues yet and between the road and the trainer I have put about 600 miles on that bike. I would have been more but I had to deploy for the military so I have not been on it for a few months.

(5)

Value

The PHX is their entry level carbon fiber bike and I had it built with Shimano 105, and the owner of my local shop (Trek dealer) could not believe the price I got. He stated he could not touch that price for a comparable bike, in components or quality.

(4)

Appearance

Black with green accents, I really like the way it looks.

(5)

Customer Service

The Valdora customer service was fantastic; I cannot say enough good things about this company or the service that they provided.

(5)

Performance

This is my first tri bike and my first carbon fiber bike, so I don't have a like item to compare it to; however it performs noticeably better than my road bike does for triathlon. I am faster, more comfortable and it is stiff enough for climbing.

Strengths

Great value, great ride, it looks good, and the entry level build options are outstanding.

Weakness

I can't think of a major weakness yet.
