T5 - Zipp 404

So, your goal is to win your next triathlon. You're already in good shape but can't figure out how to shave that extra time off to get from 7th to 1st. You need a secret weapon.

Introducing Fezzari's flagship for the Triathlon/TT market - the T5. Our goal was to build the best bike on the market in the category.

So we started with the frame.The custom Fezzari Racing Design F1 3K Carbon Monocoque Aero frame was designed to be sleek, durable, light, and aerodynamic. We used the best carbon on the market - 3K carbon - and then created the frame in one piece - monocoque design. We paid particular attention to maximizing lateral stiffness by bulking up the bottom bracket shell, seat tube, seat and chain stays, and the head tube. This allows the frame to be absolutely efficient with no lateral flex, and still forgiving with vertical flex. We then worked on aerodynamics. With a head tube that looks like a missile, it becomes the center point for aerodynamics. The wind cuts smoothly around the downtube, which is shaped like a wedge, glides by the aerodynamic seatpost and rear triangle (the seat tube that wraps around the wheel) to give you the lowest drag coefficiency you can find on any bike. We then applied toxic-free paint and graphics with stencil-type decals to accentuate the carbon underneath.

Next we added the highest-rate components on the market, including a full Dura-Ace TT groupo that features a 20-speed drivetrain, Dura-Ace dual-pivot brakes, and Dura-Ace TT Shifters.

Then we added the number 1 selling tri bars, the FSA Carbon Base Bar and FSA Carbon Pro Clip-on bars that give full adjustability up/down and in/out. They also come with FSA Aero Levers.

For the crankset, we used the new FSA Team Issue TT Carbon Crankset with external bearings for a rock-solid ride. It's the smoothest crankset you'll ever ride.

Top that off with a set of Zipp Carbon Wheels. The Zipp 404 wheelset is the best all-around wheelset you can get. Use this set on your road bike, too.

You're now equipped to take your game to to the top. With every Fezzari bicycle, we custom setup of the bike through Fezzari's 23-Point Custom Setup Program.

This is an excellent time trial bike. It is very stiff and is amazingly smooth. I have ridden on a Felt B2 as well as an Aegis, and those bikes have no comparison to this bike. The bike has a very unique design and feels incredibly fast. Fezzari is a great help when it comes to getting you the right fitting bike as well. I know because I am 6' 7" and Fezzari custom fit the bike to me at no extra charge. Fezzari is a stand up company that is willing to help you find the bike that you need at a great price.

  Best TT bike and bang for your BUCK!!

I have been training and racing on the Fezzari T5 Tri bike for the past 2 years. I have had many opportunities to have been custom fit and had bikes built to fit me. Fezzari's normal sized produced bikes have fit me better than any other bike I've ridden. It has a ride quality that I have yet to see matched with it's amazing lateral stiffness yet vertical compliance. It is an amazingly smooth ride yet all my power that I attempt to produce seems to be going through the pedals and into the drive train. I love this bike and will ride it forever. And you can't beat Fezzari's customer service and attention to detail when inspecting there bikes that they send out to customers. Thanks Fezzari

I got the T5 4 months ago and have to say this is the best tri bike I've ever ridden. I've rode a P3 last year, and that's a great bike, but this one is better. It handles better and my times have increased. The lateral stiffness is superb. Every ounce of my power feels like it goes right to the pedals. I'm partial to Fezzari because I also own a CR5, so I was less apprehensive about getting the T5. It hasn't disappointed. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to take their riding to the next level.
