![]() The Magura brakes don’t so much advance the stopping equation as eliminate a previous problem with many TT bikes – now, the brakes stop you securely. But for anyone who's ever ridden a time trial bike with lousy, weak brakes there's a substantial difference. This was our first experience with the RT8 TT hydraulic levers. We first test rode the Magura brake calipers at Sea Otter, using the company's mechanical-to-hydraulic converter. The Mavic wheels felt great – fast and stable.įrame & equipment: Innovative braking and fitting can be complemented with Di2 ![]() That's because Cervélo assumes the typical customer will have their own aero hoops. The bike comes with 'training' wheels – a Vision Team30 set. ![]() We test rode the bike with Mavic’s CC80 front wheel and Comete disc. It should be noted that sidewind feel is largely affected by wheel choice. The bike’s substantial side profile makes sidewinds noticeable, but you feel a steady pressure, not sketchy gusts with rapid changes in pressure. But in the aero position – where you’re supposed to be on this bike – handling was perfectly confident, even with gusts of wind. ![]() It was harder to gauge the stiffness of the front end because there was some flex in the handlebars when we were riding on the cowhorns, pulling up for a sprint acceleration or cornering hard over rough pavement. We big-ringed the P5 over rolling vineyard roads and even took it up some climbs that kicked to 28 percent – most certainly not in the big ring! The bike’s pedaling efficiency shone throughout. ![]()
