Triathlon Canada Magazine published a review of it. They say the TR+ -frameset- (not complete bike) will sell for $15800 Canadian (plus tax of course). So about 12k US...
Ridiculous.

https://triathlonmagazine.ca/...eases-the-bolide-tr/

"The suggested MSRP for a frame set, which includes the integrated bar and stem, is a cool $15,800."...

Based on wrench science prices, it looks like the Bolide TR is much more affordable than the Bolide TT:

Bolide TT frameset: $14,500
Bolide TR frameset: $7,500
Bolide TR Ultegra Di2 build: $9,500

So the TR is below P5x price and half the price of the TT

The carbon manufacturer lists applications for the t1100g fibre as "for primary aircraft structure, launch rockets, sport"

It's great that pinarello accepted triathlon as a potential market.... Maybe that means triathletes will soon gain respect amongst cyclists

Could be interesting to see cfd pictures with virtual rider, disc brakes and the storage containers. What is that lower storage anyway... The spare kit is built into the down tube right?

Does the Pro version come with quick release skewers so that one can accept the on course wheels?

There are two versions:

Bolide TR using T700 carbon for USD 7,500 https://www.racycles.com/product/detail/17318
Bolide TR+ using T1100 carbon for USD 10,000 https://www.racycles.com/product/detail/17317

Looks like it is the same mould, so presumably the only difference is the weight.

They say the only difference is the carbon... Which according to 10 percent extra tensile strength and 10 percent more compressive strength but both are primary airplane structure grade, the expensive one is also launch rocket grade. The cheaper one seems to have cables visible above the stem

Thoughts on spec'ing with SwissSide Hadron's? They seem to really be pushing hard on both the OEM and after-market side

I think that's because the TR+ is shown with eTap, whereas the TR is built with mechanical gearing. The description says both use the same bars.
