by Dan Empfield, September 9, 2019The P5 and P3X are sexy, the P2 pays the rent. Here’s the P-Series, the first update in 6 years of the World’s favorite tri bike.
Ben Miller has owned several Cervelo bikes and among them a P2, P3, P4, P5six and most recently a P5X, and he now added a super light P5 Disc to his quiver.
Just like vacation rentals, refrigerators and spouses, your best wetsuit is out there. Finding it is the problem. (It might be a T1 by De Soto.)
Three or four companies made tri wetsuits in the 80s. First among the next generation was Orca, making wetsuits for a quarter century now.

We take a close look at the latest tri bike from Pinarello, the Bolide TR+. Equipped with disc brakes and integrated storage, it’s the strongest effort yet from the Italian brand.

Frederik Van Lierde recently took delivery of a brand new Cervelo P5 with disc brakes. He then took it to Mexico to race the Campeche 70.3 and rode a superb 2:00:54 bike split and was first off the bike with a solid lead. He however then struggled during the run and fell back to 5th place. But let us now look at his new bike, and keep a drool bucket ready.
Here’s Cervelo’s new P5. It’s not just a warming over of the old P5. Entirely new mold; new modes of adjustability; disc brakes.
