It maybe a TRP HY/RD: http://www.trpbrakes.com/category.php?p ... 6&subcat=0
Those discs and all their associated hardware simply cannot be as aero as rim brakes would be on that thing. I'm having flashbacks to the days of SoftRide Beam technology.

SRAM don't have a hydraulics TT brake lever yet, do they? Shimano do (or will once they've actually made enough to start selling) and it woud at least look better with some proper flat mount calipers on there.

You know who does? Magura. I wonder if Cervelo have ever heard of them...

Definitely is. I have them on my gravel bike, lol. Cable to the brake then actuating a hydro piston. Great stoppers actually but bulky - not an obvious choice for a tri/TT bike. Strange given Cervelo's existing tie-up with Magura for hydro rim brakes, TT6 and TT8 models.

The hydro brakes on the Magura are a closed system, not what you need here
Just noticed the waterbottle mounts. Looks like it positions your waterbottle horizontally along the top of the mid chassis suitcase. Better have a good seal on that waterbottle spout or there's gonna be one sticky sports drink mess all over that thing.

why would you need disks brakes on a tri bike?
You don't.

Tri bikes already run with horizontal bottles - lots of people mount a bottle between the aero bars. Been around for years.
I don't mind a tri bike that isn't strictly UCI-legal, but I still want to ride something approximating a diamond-shaped frame. This and a few other new tri bikes look more like motorcycle frames, and not in a way pleasing to my eyes. And agreed, no one needs disc brakes in a non-draft-legal triathlon. For draft-legal races, I could see a benefit, especially if the course is very hilly.

On the photo of it in the office - why are the valve stems like 15cm long?
