Constant width seattube cutout
– The cutout has a constant width, closely covering the rearwheel
tire. Most cutouts (with the exception of the P3) have a cutout width
that varies as you move up and down the cutout, thereby hampering the
proper airflow from the seattube to the rearwheel.
Aero headtube - no bulky nose
cone, but an extremely thin, aerodynamically optimized shape
New dual position seatpost - An
extremely narrow profile, two positions for shallow and steep TT/Tri
positions, and a lower weight construction.
Integrated Seattube collar - By
integrating the seattube collar completely into the toptube, we are
able to smoothen the aerodynamic profile even further. The airflow
doesn't even see the collar, yet the seatpost can be removed with
ease. By integrating the seatpost into the frame aerodynamically but
not structurally, you can fit the P2 Carbon into any bike case and
travel without a problem, something that is very difficult to do with
other integrated seatpost solutions that have the seatpost molded into
the frame in one piece and that do not allow for the seatpost to be
removed.
And we certainly have first-hand
experience with this, as the original Cervélo P2 was the first bike
to sport an integrated seatpost that was permanently attached to the
frame. While it was the best solution we could come up with back in
1996, the new system with the removable seatpost is superior not only
for traveling but also aerodynamically, as it allows us to use a much
narrower seatpost than if it was a structural part of the frame.
ICS Internal Cable Stops - The
best internal cable stop system available. Easy to install, easy to
service, easy to keep clean and improved aerodynamics.
UCI legal - As with all our
frames, the P2C is UCI legal
Frameset - The P2 Carbon is also
available as a frameset
