About this product
This is a 54cm Cervelo P5X triathlon bike from the 2018 model year, constructed from lightweight carbon fiber. It features a drop bar handlebar and 700C wheels with clincher tires, designed for time trial and triathlon events. The bike is equipped with a 22-speed Shimano Red electronic shifting system and mechanical disc brakes, offering precise gear changes and reliable stopping power. It comes with no suspension and is designed for unisex adults, backed by a lifetime manufacturer warranty.
Our take
If you're serious about triathlon and time trials, this 2018 Cervelo P5X is built for speed. The carbon fiber frame is truly lightweight, and the 22-speed electronic Shimano Red shifting is incredibly smooth and responsive, which is a huge advantage when you're pushing hard. I appreciate the lifetime manufacturer warranty, showing confidence in its build. However, the mechanical disc brakes might feel a bit less refined compared to hydraulic systems often found on bikes at this price point. It's a high-performance machine, but prepare for a firm ride as it lacks suspension.
