The new standard - Just
like the P3 took the time trial and triathlon world by storm, so has
the P3 Carbon. Victorious in roughly half of the ProTour TTs in which
it has been entered and equally successful in Ironman Triathlons, the
P3 Carbon is the reference for the time trial bike market.
Aero headtube - no bulky nose
cone, but an extremely thin, aerodynamically optimized shape
CCS - Constant Cross-section
Seattube - The airflow over the seattube is predominantly
horizontal. The new seattube shape has a cross section shape that
is separately optimized everywhere between bottom bracket and the
seatstay joint.
New dual position seatpost - An
extremely narrow profile, two positions for shallow and steep TT
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 P3 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 P3 Carbon is UCI legal
Frameset - The P3 Carbon is
also available as a frameset
