I have searched several times over the past couple months and can not find a list of modern non-uci compliant tri bikes.
The ones I know of are:
Ceepo
Felt IA
Ventum
Dimond
Omni
Diamond Back
I really like the looks of most of them and could care less about UCI compliance and actually prefer the designs of the bikes above. I will never be in a race where it will be a factor.
Are there any others to add to the list?
If you only ever plan on racing IM or Challenge races are there any bikes that are illegal?
Cervelo P5-6 is UCI-Illegal. So is the Trek Speed Concept.
Cannondale Slice, I think.

Trek makes a UCI legal fork and base bar though.
Falco V
.
Falco V, although it’s rumored to have gone under the website is still up. Last news on website was 2014.
Specialized Shiv
QR Ilicito
Titanflex (all models)
Lotus
Corima
Trimble
Softride (all models)
BP Stealth
.
Cannondale Slice, I think.
That is correct as the seat stays are not UCI-legal.
Literally anything with a protruding nose-cone. Scott Plasma Premium, Specialized Shiv, Trek SC, Cervelo P5-6 included. And those were four of the most racked bikes at Kona.
Frame design is starting to become the newest indicator of UCI non-compliance. Tri-rig, Falco, Dimond, Ventum and other beam bikes (think that’s all of them) represent the newest wave in standard designs that are illegal. At least Scott, Specialized, Trek and Cervelo make USI-legal versions of the above referenced bikes. The latter 4 are tri-only.
Thank you fellas,
that is exactly what I was looking for.
It was enjoyable for me to learn about the brands I had never even heard of(almost every one on titanflexers list:).
Another to your list, Reap bikes (http://reapbikes.com). They’re close to market, but no idea of the price.

Cycpro/Pearson, assuming they’re still going.
a few to add to the list:
Corima Fox
CAT Cheetah
Giant MCR
And for concept bikes:
Trek FE26
AND, then of course my own personal Pearson Z1-9 that I have raced 10+ Ironman races on.

So much win in your bike. I am in love!

Simple: Ask, “is it a fast bike?” If so, then it is probably not UCI legal. The one exception is the P5, which uses a very clever design to argue that the corners are gussets and therefore meet UCI rules.
