Summary:
This is a great bike that completely serves its purpose, to go fast! The TT has a stiff frame that responds well but is very smooth, even on rough roads. This bike does not give you a steep triathlon angle, but is still able to act as a tri bike. I find that the TT is suited to all triathlon needs but is better suited for long course on rolling to flat terrain. A bit sluggish up the hills, the TT will make you work but then again, this bike was never inteded to be a climber. The price tag is steep for a Ultegra set-up, but the profile design carbon aerobars are money! The Bontrager Aero wheels are good for training, but the TT screams for a tri-spoke or disk in a race. All in all it is a great bike for a steep price, if you want a top of the line TT bike, look no further.

Strengths:
Very light and responsive. Combfortable on short and long courses.

Weaknesses:
High price tag...technology is not cheap! Where is the Dura-Ace? Brakes work, but nothing special
