I've had a P-X Stealth for four years - during which time it's become more or less the most popular bike in British triathlon - and it's been terrific.
By all accounts the Exocet is materially better, and the recent update resolves the problems there were with the internal cable routing on the originals - the original frame had very little rear tyre clearance, too, whereas the Mk 2 will take 23mm tyres.
I rode one briefly and it felt stiffer than the Stealth, but it was only a short trundle and I didn't want to disturb the owner's setup, so hard to tell how real the difference was.

Thanks, i've read about the v1 issues and it sounds like they have all been sorted, for the ££ i thought it was a cracking bike for the money. Went for this in Gura as everyone has black ha ha

They were running a promo if Wiggins won GOLD £500 off so bargain!

i went for blue as don't want cars slamming into the side of me and black is not such a good idea, another reason was the matt finish is meant to be poor, so it was either pearl or blue ( blue is me fav colour ). I can always paint it later i guess.Cracking bargain i thought, will post some pics when a grab it next week.
Wiggo wannabe? 
Gorgeous bike, I'd love one myself (it's my next N+1) after the road bike upgrade and the track bike
Where are you riding it? I'd possibly get one if I thought I'd get any use out of it but don't think the tucked TT position is ideal for the London commute

Ha, another 100 watts to find FTP sadly but yep only just noticed thats the Sky bike colour, oh well if it helps stop some goon in a van slamming into me thats cool.
The front does look low and they have various options for the bars, going for a full fit next week, looking forward to it. Not seen any crap reviews yet.
