Sponsorship Announced with Fezzari Performance Bikes.

Fezzari will give discounts and make BYU Edition bikes.



Fezzari owner, Chris Washburn, agreed to give BYU Triathlon Club members a discount on Fezzari bikes.

Fezzari’s philosophy is simple: (1) build the best quality bikes possible, (2) provide superior service, and (3) sell them at a great value. The company was founded on these principles and it's ingrained in every aspect of how they do business. Fezzari will also be producing BYU Edition bikes that will be arriving for Christmas. These bikes will still be on discount to tri club members. They will also be available to alumni or whoever is interested at regular price (a portion of the sale will go to support the BYU Triathlon Club). So, spread the word!

Here are the bikes that will be in offered in the BYU Edition painting:

  • Catania (aluminum frame, carbon fork and seat stay)
  • Foré CR2 (full carbon)
  • Foré CR3 (full carbon)
  • T3 (full carbon triathlon)
  • T5 (full carbon triathlon)

They will be painted BYU Blue and say BYU Cougars on the top tube. The road bikes will come with a BYU Triathlon decal that you can place if you like. The triathlon bikes will come with the BYU Triathlon logo on the bike. Some of these will need to be ordered with payment. Look for more information to come.

Meanwhile, check out Fezzari’s website. www.fezzari.com
