Planet x stealth review

Looking at a planet x stealth - good bike for the money? Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks

Great bike for the money. Very comfortable, and a surprisingly good climber. Mine weighed 16 .0 lbs with sram red and a set of 303’s. It is a frame that doesnt look as “aero” as others do, but I think its tube profiles resemble zipp’s firecrest shape, I like it a lot.

I love my planet-x stealth: she is fast, light and elegant :).

Great riding bike. Well balanced and, like others have mentioned, climbs awesome. I have a medium Pearl White frameset collecting dust if interested? I have been meaning to put it in the classifieds, I’ve just been busy.

Word on the street is that there will be a pre-xmas sale on the px stealth frames…I almost waited, but got a Trinity Alliance instead…

There was already a pre-xmas sale on the frame and this is what it looks like at 15 lbs.

Is the sale over?

doesn’t look very rideable at 15 lbs, unless you like 1 gear and no stopping ability :wink:
.

Will post some pics once I sort out bar tape. I have been fine tuning the fit on the trainer.

Thanks for the feedback!

I have gears but no stopping yet! Have some new brakes on order :wink: Nice bike, I got the 54cm (M) frame. I’m 5’10" and it fits me perfectly.

I have an xl size myself. 6’ 3" tall. My first carbon frame tri bike. Love it! I get many looks and compliments on it come race day. Built mine up last winter, so I only have one full race season on it, but it has worked out great for me! Got mine thru ebay which had a sale and direct link to Planet X USA. Got $80 off mine last year. I think the deals are out there, you just have to be patient to find them or wait for them to come up. Good luck in choosing!

Just got mine about a month ago (xl). I still need to cut the fork and the seat post actually (i’m 6’5" and I have never had to cut a seat post). I have put all of the components on it, Full Dura Ace. And I’m waiting on a pair of Flashpoints FP60’s I just got off CL. Once I have it all together I will poster some pictures and tell you how the ride is.
