The Cervelo P5X is among the best triathlon bikes you can get. It has a great reputation for adequately coping with the rigors and shocks of mountain biking in a triathlon sporting event. The design of this triathlon bike speaks for itself. High quality, durable and high performance carbonized body frame, dependable hydraulic disc brakes, and an 11-speed Shimano shift lever system that enables for a smooth transition between gears.
Features
Carbonized body frame
The Cervelo P5X triathlon bike has a body frame that is constructed from high-quality Carbon. This makes it very rugged in coping with the demands of a triathlon event and makes it travel at a very fast speed. Integrated as part of the body frame are the storage units. This enables bikers to partake in a triathlon event with virtually all the necessary items, as the compartments are quite large.
Great traction tires
Cervelo P5X is equipped with Continental GP 4000 clinching tires. These three are designed to provide great surface traction on any biking terrain, be it wet or dry conditions. The tires are puncture-resistant, preventing a triathlon athlete from getting stranded during an event. The rims of the tires are carbonized, providing the right amount of stiffness and response when needed in rough terrains or when needed to make a stop.
Hydraulic disc braking technology
This triathlon bike comes with an efficient pedaling and braking system. This is courtesy of the efficient hydraulic disc braking unit. The unit provides adequate stopping power when needed, regardless of the surface terrain. It also absorbs all-terrain shocks and promotes great bike handling and more riding stability. This enables the biker to have smooth control on any terrain and in tight corners without panic. The Shimano shift lever is top-notch, with shifting between gears easily achieved.
