Looks decent enough to me, though I don't like Factor much.

There aren't many easy-to-travel-with / tear down triathlon bikes that look more aero than this.

It seems to be their answer to the P-Series, but they missed the mark on pricing.

Though saying this, with rider on bike I'm sure the Ceepo Katana '25 will be way more aero for bigger riders. 81 degree STA ...

Looks like the same ICR upper bearing cover as the Ostro too.

I’d totally be down with a new “transformer” class of mass start aero + TT bike. Give it TT geometry, but make sure it’s drop bar compatible and UCI road legal. Develop a better quick-disconnect coupler for hydraulic hoses too. If the big brands want to dip their toes in the water and see how many racers have made the switch to “progressive race fits,” that’s the way to do it.
