Cervelo has evolved their P-series bikes with new frame design and complete build packages that enhance aerodynamics, improve drivetrain efficiency and overall torsional resistance from the headtube back through the frame. Gone is the P3 designation, with that frame level simply becoming the P-Series. The frameset includes aero storage and hydration accessories that help to reduce drag while offering simplicity and convenience as part of this impressive complete package.

Cervelo created the all new P-Series for a single mission: to go from Point A to Point B as quick possible. The P-Series is a no-nonsense speed machine engineered for pure, nonsensical fastness. The engineers went back to the drawing board of the P3, improving every facet. The P-Series features better air economy, improved stiffness and comfort. It has been designed with discipline, focus, style and swagger with every pedal stroke propelling human and machine through the air with ease, turning watts into wins. How? Start with torsional frame stiffness. The P-Series frameset is 18% stiffer at BB than P3. Headtube and general tube refinement from dropout to dropout combine with that BBright Asymmetric bottom bracket zone and the result is a borderline ridiculous 30% improvement in overall torsional stiffness. The P3 has been one of the most decorated framesets in the triathlon world, so to see such massive improvements is wholly impressive, and we haven't even mentioned that the P-Series frame is 9% lighter, or examined aerodynamics yet.

A quick look at the P3 and P-Series designs allows the viewer to see the similarities, but a closer look demonstrates the aerodynamic refinements that deliver impressive results. Clearly Cervelo has also been able to develop a new carbon lay-up to deliver the impressive stiffness and lighter weight, but those are generally internal. Aerodynamic changes can be very subtle but seen in three areas; frontal shapes, transitions from tube to tube and juncture to juncture, with the third being the integration of components and aero accessories- all taken together with proven wind tunnel and CFD testing, but also with respect to how the rider position and physical interaction impact the true overall aerodynamic picture. Cervelo has tested the P-Series at 26g faster than P3 bare, and 18g faster loaded. Every improvement, every detail, every struggle all serve to create a faster design, with many incremental changes adding up to more speed, delivered more efficiently, saving you watts of effort as you go faster....
