I guess Ironman are not using the World Tri rules, but pretty sure that the bottom bottle cage with a one litre bottle in will be >250mm to the rear of the reference point (bottom of the lowest point/directly below elbow point of the elbow rest).
And the top of the top bottle will be close to >200mm above the reference point. Though likely an ‘angle of image’ effect.
But you can tell us the measurements.
That was an early pic. Jeroen (@anon62099856) picked up on it and we corrected

Interesting point. I have always assumed they are a decent-sized company, since they have been around for as long as I can remember and have a lot of products.
I ordered one. Hopefully it fits my large frame. I’ll report back when I receive it

Around for a long time, yes. A lot of products is partly because they let me keep designing stuff and partly because the sales team never want to discontinue a product that is still selling.
But in terms of the size of the team and revenue - there are bike shops that are bigger.
The team is really effective at making PD ubiquitous - strong OE relationships and market presence.
We often get the feeling that pro athletes think PD is being cheap as a ‘big’ company not offering generous contracts. But there simply isn’t the budget for those.

What size di you order? What size are you
My bike is a large frame and I ordered the box for a medium frame since that’s all they offer.
This has been an interesting thread to scroll through, but what I’m curious about is, how does the darn thing ride?
I really like the way it handles - light, agile for a TT bike, stiff where it needs to be, and the room for 30mm tires keeps it comfortable. Feels darn fast too

Really well. Nice and smooth
I rode exclusively on my PSeries until beginning of August and I do a lot of out and backs testing and it can do a quicker 180 than my PSeries
In terms of fast, while it and the PSeries test in the same range, I suspect I could tweak this one to be a bit faster. That is on the schedule.

Well the medium size storage box was a little too small. It bolts up to the seat tube but it’s about 1/4” from the down tube. It’s a well made product with strong magnets holding the lid closed
What did you plan to use it for ? spare or nutrition or…?
Which Pros are on the Ventum next weekend?
From their site I see Lee, McCauley and Clutterbuck. Any others?
Sodaro as well
Of course: how could I forget?
I just hope she makes it work for her: she’ll need every saved watt to be competitive (imho) and comfortable so that she can release her inner runner.
Planned on storing a multi tool, co2 and maybe a tube.
So this appears to be a thing. EU distribution is right around the corner! Now I can finally replace my Shit Max errr speedmax.
What are your pad XY numbers and tilt on the SpeedmaxXAerium?

Sorry for the delay in responding. The little one is in a bit of a demanding phase 
Assuming I measured correctly, pad x 440 pad y 640 on a size S measured by the back of the pad where my elbow is with the extensions at roughly 20 degrees.
I’m afraid that you’re going to find that the little one gets larger and the demands change but they don’t stop.
Because the Speedmax is quite tall you get the same Frame Stack from an L Tempus.
I don’t have the details for the cube bar, so I just put the Wing Ultimate S in for comparison on the Speedmax.
A medium Tempus would have you right at the top of the fit range - the 20deg tilt means that the pad loses a lot of stack.
