Product Description
The Cervelo P3 is made with Cervelo’s trademarked TrueAero technology. This combines shape, size, and design features to help optimize aerodynamic flow. The use of TrueAero is tailored to each specific bike to optimize for the bike’s intent. Also included is their trademarked BBright system, which was developed to utilize lighter and stiffer oversized frame tubes. These larger tubes are used in the down tube, seat tube, and left chainstay. This leads to a lighter frame with increased stiffness and pedaling efficiency. This bike has class-leading aero performance, while beating its competition in price. The ride quality on the P3 offers an experience that is more than suitable for the bike’s intention.
Expert Notes
The Cervelo P3 is an iconic bike in the triathlon and time trial discipline. Cervelo knows that aerodynamics have the greatest impact on speed. Through years of learning from building and testing, the P3 frame is designed with certain elements and shapes to help reduce drag and increase speed. The P3 has optimized stiffness in the head tube and bottom bracket for more stable and predictable handling, and better power output into the drive train. This bike is no joke and is best suited for extremely serious riders. At the same time it is relatively affordable and can be easily upgraded and worked on.
