Thank you for your consideration.

I have a hydration/computer mount design that has been stalled at CAD/prototype for a while. I do the design work and was working on a lot of products for 2018. We sell a few hundred bikes a year which makes new item tooling amortization high.

The hydration design is faster than anything else I have tested on the Tactical and is not compatible with other brands. Maybe I'll have to pull the trigger.

If the XS sells well - that will be a factor.

In 2018 I opened new molds on the XS Bike, 650 disc, 88 front and rear and 50 front - we also upgraded the mold for our 700 disc, 88 front and rear and 50 front - so that was a lot of work. All these new wheels are as fast as any wheels on the market and are super fast on the Tactical.

All those products arrive in the next few weeks.

Definitely leaning towards pulling the trigger on one of these around the holiday season. Awesome stuff, just not a fan of the FC35 "look" for hydration. Would love a Premiere hydration solution

I agree.. integrated would be awesome! However it does look clean as hell from the front with the FC35:

Nice job! Look at you! Aero position while everyone behind you is sitting up :)

Yeah, I agree. The xlab torpedo/versa is much better.. but it doesn't get you the "confirmed 3w savings" that the FC35 has shown on the Tactical :-)

Haha :) I think the pic is just a few km's into the bike leg and they're probably refueling or whatever..

Wow! thanks for the inside look, Dan.
Faster than anything else you tested?! Pull the trigger man! Can't wait to see some photos of the new wheels. Awesome stuff!

dan, integrated nutrition goes much further on the 650 than the 700 bikes. i would literally buy one tomorrow if you had that.

the reason is that all these front end hydration system require real estate, with an xs bike there is just less room. an xlab torpedo takes up so much space on the bike that sometimes my arms have no place to go.

I've only read through about 80 percent of this thread, but has Dan provided any info if he will offer a disc brake model? I like the feel of them better, and since I have to wait until at least December I just thought I'd ask.

No current disk brake options. Whether Dan is considering that I have no idea. I personally think the current breaking is extremely good.

Actually let me rephrase that the current breaking on the Premier Tactical 2.0 is the best brakes that I've ever used on a bicycle.

I got an email from the site and replied but it said email address was invalid. I was asking what's included since the FAQ was a little confusing and possibly out dated since the new price?

I don’t have any plan to ad a disk brake version.

did an olympic today. the swim got cancelled so it turned into a duathlon with the swim replaced with a 5k.

i rode my tactical to a 2nd best time split for my age group and overall a 4th place finish out if 29. this bike is a rocket. this is my first race season with it and i anticipate many more.

For anyone looking for arm rests that have a bigger platform (I know the F35 has been mentioned) the Profile Design Ergo are a direct fit too!

Agreed that integrated bento box and water would put this bike over the top compared to other brands.

I would have pulled the trigger on this already if the nutrition and bento were built in!

We have an integrated system developed which we know is very fast; but it may be some time to come to market. In 2018 we invested in tooling for the XS bike as well a new line of fantastic wheels in 700 and 650.

700 and 650 - disc, 88 front and rear and 45 front and rear.

Are you going to be making both or only one? If one, it would be great for us to vote on it.

Also please consider a garmin mount that is as far away towards the extension ends as possible.
