Strengths: Looks, value, reasonable weight, stiffness.Weaknesses: Old-school 25.4 stem and bar. No front derailluer barrel adjuster.Bottom Line: I bought this bike exclusively to race 20-to-40k TTs. Rather than pay up for the carbon TTX, my LBS guys suggested this bike and spending the difference on upgrading the wheels. So I took their suggestion and got a set of Aeolus 6.5s. I am a 17-year mtb racer vet, and because this is my first experience with a TT bike, I have little basis for comparison. However, I will say that the bike feels solid, stiff, quiet and slippery. In the four TTs I have ridden, I have two wins, a second and a third. And because I missed more wins by seconds, those in the know tell me that with a full rear disk I would have won!
Those contemplating Ironman-distance tri's may want the slight additional comfort and slightly lighter weight of the full carbon TTX, but for my purposes this bike is a great value.
Favorite Ride: anything smooth and fast on this bike
Price Paid:
$2000.00
Purchased At: LBS
Similar Products Used: Trek Madone road bike with clamp-on aero bars.
Bike Setup: Swapped saddle for my favorite WTB Rocket V Stealth and upgraded wheels to Bontrager Aeolus 6.5s.

Strengths: Light, fast and well made. The parts are excellent and good value.Weaknesses: It really needs to be setup correctly. What I mean by this is you need to spend more time with it in the workshop to get it balanced but when you do, its great.Bottom Line: Anything not made in China and imported is expensive so this wasn’t the best way to buy a Trek Tri Bike but I’m glad I did. It is fast, super fast, light and comfortable. Good parts and value for money. Nice ride.
Favorite Ride: A30 to Airport
Price Paid:
$2600.00
Purchased At: Trek Shanghai
Bike Setup: The stock setup was ok but as I mentioned earlier it needs time to get right but when it is setup right for you it is excellent.
