So you're ready to take your solo riding to the next level. What are the benefits of the T3? Because you can't draft in a triathlon leg, we've made the rider positioning and frame as aerodynamic as possible. It translates into precious minutes saved that vaults you from also-ran to also-won.
The sleek Fezzari Racing Design F1 3K Carbon Monocoque Aero frame is the most aerodynamic, durable, and light frame you can get. Woven entirely as one piece, it is strong, stable, and uniform stress absorption. We paid particular attention to maximizing lateral stiffness by bulking up the bottom bracket shell, seat tube, seat and chain stays, and the head tube. This allows the frame to be absolutely efficient with no lateral flex, and still forgiving with vertical flex. We then worked on aerodynamics. With a head tube that looks like a missile, it becomes the center point for aerodynamics. The wind cuts smoothly around the downtube, which is shaped like a wedge, glides by the aerodynamic seatpost and rear triangle (the seat tube that wraps around the wheel) to give you the lowest drag coefficiency you can find on any bike. We then applied toxic-free paint and graphics with stencil-type decals to accentuate the carbon underneath.
We can build a Fezzari any way you like. In the case of T3, we added Dura Ace at key points, and as you grow in the sport, you can add it in others. The T3 features a Shimano Dura-Ace TT 20-speed derailleur and shifters. Add to that Shimano 105 Hollowtech crankset and brakes, and the number 1 selling FSA base bar, fully-adjustable clip-on bars, and aero brake levers, with full adjustability in/out, up/down, and foward/backward.
Then we added the number 1 selling tri bars, the FSA Carbon Base Bar and FSA Pro Clip-on bars that give full adjustability up/down and in/out. They also come with FSA Aero Levers.
A great set of Shimano R20 wheels with Maxxis Hors Categorie clincher tires will motor you through all conditions.
You're now equipped to take your game to to the top. With every Fezzari bicycle, we custom setup of the bike through Fezzari's 23-Point Custom Setup Program.
Weaknesses: Geometry improvement needed on the seat tube so that you can get an even more forward position (areo)
Bottom Line:
I really love this bike! It is so fast and dependable. It's also very lightweight which I am thankful for (especially on the climbs!) I know that I am faster because of this bike.
Strengths: Good value for a full carbon tri bike. Solid components and nice looks. I get a lot of compliments on the bike at the local races. Very friendly and helpful Fezzari staff.
Weaknesses: I get a buzz from the pins holding the brake leavers and the tires were kind of cheap and were quickly replaced. No other complaints or issues.
Bottom Line:
I really like this bike. It's stiff and fast. It really allows me to get into a great areo position and is comfortable even on long rides. The paint and graffics are nice looking. It really is a great value for a full carbon tri bike. Though the stock wheels are managable for training and beginner racing I would like to upgrade the raceday wheels. Though I like my Trek 1500 roadie, the Fezzari really outshines it in almost every way.
