The drivetrain and brakes are new Ultegra head to toe and are pretty much faultless.
Advice BBright™ is compatible with all major bottom bracket standards.
With these unique shapes, we dial in the ideal balance of stiffness and weight in specific areas of a frame, while reducing aerodynamic drag. Those compromises however I just can’t get upset by. The benefit is increased stiffness and pedalling efficiency in a lighter weight frame.
Design We dedicated years of R&D to make the P-Series the most aerodynamic, user-friendly, and stiff triathlon and time trial bikes on the market.For the T-Series, we applied what we've learnt from years of engineering the fastest TT/triathlon bikes to create the ultimate track racing framesets.A carbon frameset built for the extreme demands of track cycling.From ultralight to ultra-versatile, our road bikes are designed to make riders faster.This supreme all-round racing machine sets new benchmarks for lightness, stiffness, and confidence-boosting handling.Stiff and lightweight, with geometry that promotes stable handling, the R3 urges you to attack on the climb and push the pace on the descent. Our engineers achieve this by combining the ideal mix of shapes, materials, and lay up techniques.4% stiffer at the head tube than the previous generation R34% stiffer at the bottom bracket than the previous generation R3"With more performance than what just about anybody who doesn’t make a living riding a bike needs, it’s literally an elite-level ride that comes at a real-world price." The wheels are what you’d consider a second tier set, but to Mavic’s credit the latest Aksium Disc is a damn fine wheel; stiff, smooth and with a slightly wider rim profile that shapes a 25mm tyre well.The Conti Gransport 25s are also a very decent tyre, they may not be the lightest or fastest around but the grip is consistent and they are supple enough to make a difference ride-quality-wise.
$100.00 5d 7h +$49.53 shipping. Our Elite Fit is based on extensive observations and analysis of riders' positions. The ride position is at the race end of endurance, yet it doesn’t feel like a compromise between the two it just feels sublimely comfortable.The way in which you can instigate a rapid direction change with a simple weight shift at your hips puts it on par with gloriously sharp race bikes like Cannondale’s legendary Evo, yet it can do this with a smotheringly smooth ride that’s akin to bikes like Cannondale’s Synapse.When the road starts to rise, the R3D is so adept and responsive you can ride it how you want.
2018 Cervelo R3 Rim Frameset Flouro Black. The R3 was always Cérvelo’s classic race machine. It offers a wide range of positions for all athletes, from endurance riders to Pro-Tour racers, without compromising handling, comfort, or performance.
When you head back down again the precocious blend of stability at speed and fast handling make it a glorious companion for going downhill fast. For the R3 we optimized the stiffness of the head tube, for stable and predictable handling, and the stiffness of the bottom bracket, so that more of your power goes into turning the rear wheel.This supreme all-round racing machine sets new benchmarks for lightness, stiffness, and confidence-boosting handling.We want to be able to stay in touch with you to tell you about all the great things happening at Cervélo, upcoming events, product launches, contests, sweepstakes and giveaways.
