American Jackie Hering’s ascension as an Ironman World Championship contender has been unconventional. Racing her first Ironman as a pro back in 2011 (yes, 14 years ago), Hering had early success with five podium finishes between 2011 and 2014.

Centered around the birth of her first child in 2016, Hering left the iron distance behind to focus solely on the middle distance between 2016 and 2023. After eight years of 70.3s and Challenge middle-distance racing, Hering returned to the iron distance with a breakthrough win at Ironman Hamburg in 2024, which saw her setting a new American best at the distance for women.

Since then, Hering has taken a top-10 finish at the Ironman World Championship in Nice in 2024, with her sights set on returning to Kona for the first time since 2014 – a 10-year break from the Hawaii Ironman.

We got a close look at Hering’s uniquely “unbranded” Cervelo P5 – in which she’s taped over the logos – to see what bike gear the American has chosen for her triumphant return to the Queen K.

Get a glimpse of Hering’s simple, taped-up setup below.

Though Hering has taped over all of the logos, she’ll be riding the 2024 version of Cervelo’s well-loved P5 in size 54 this weekend.

Hering is running a 12-speed Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 drivetrain and a yet-to-be-released 100+mm Enve Pro wheel in the back with Continental GP-5000 tires at 60 psi for race day.

Hering has chosen Garmin Rally RS200 pedals to measure power output.

Up front, Hering is using stock Cervelo base bars with Fast TT 2.0 aero bars and an XLab cage for between-the-arms hydration.

Hering’s Cervelo P5 has built-in nutrition storage, located on the top tube.

For race day, Hering will use an ISM PN 1.1 saddle with additional behind-the-saddle (BTS) hydration.

Here we get a closer look at Hering’s BTS hydration system – the incredibly popular EZ Gains attachment with an XLab Gorilla Grip bottle cage.
