2010 Cervelo T1

Built to resist the extreme forces of the most powerful riders

The aluminum T1 is the newest member of Cervélo’s track series and it is quickly changing perceptions of what a world class, UCI legal, race machine should cost. Constructed from a completely new TrueAero® Smartwall 3® tubeset, the T1 resists the extreme forces of the most powerful riders in banked racing. While over 500 grams lighter than the most well-known carbon track frames, its light weight is not at the expense of stiffness as its bottom bracket and torsional rigidity are matched by no other. "I expected it to be stiff, but this took stiffness to a new meaning and I could feel the aerodynamic difference to other bikes I have ridden”, according to Magnus Backstedt.

2010 Cervelo T3

Much lighter than other track frames

Dominating the Points race in Beijing, the P3 Track took five of the top-10 spots, including Gold and Silver. In the Team Pursuit, Denmark took Silver on the same bike. Where most manufacturers use different frames for their pursuit and sprint stars on the track, Cervélo uses one and the same frame because the P3 Track is a perfect combination of light weight, stiffness and aerodynamics. This also represents a great opportunity for our customers; you can invest in one great track bike and use it for all events, rather than having to divide your budget over two bikes.

2010 Cervelo P3

The most copied TT/Tri bike in history

OK, so this bike has won more than any other in history – by a country mile. But more importantly, it is the most used bike at Ironman racing and time trialing ever – by “regular” customers. No wonder it is still the reference for the entire bike industry, and the most copied bike in history. Yet its popularity remains, because the original is still unmatched. And in 2010, it is also available in an Ultegra version, so it is within reach of even more people.

Upgrades from P2

More aero seattube - The curved seattube covers more of the rearwheel than any other cutout, resulting in even better aerodynamics. More aero seatstay/seattube transition - The seatstays blend into the main triangle without any aerodynamic disruption in the form of a monostay, thereby further improving the aerodynamics. Cervelo Aero fork - The fork developed as part of the P4 project is now also available on the P3. Lighter - The P3 is 150g lighter than the P2.

2010 Cervelo P4

The world's first fully-integrated aero TT/Tri bike

"The P4 is the biggest leap we have ever made in aero bike technology." - Phil White, co-founder In fact, its aerodynamically invisible brake, integrated water bottle and dozens and dozens of other aerodynamic details make it so fast, that there were federations contemplating if it was too fast for their races or not. Now the verdict is in, and the P4 is legal for all races. Some road races may request that you use the standard Elite aero bottle instead of the special P4 bottle, but in all other races this very innovative P4 feature is not a problem. And with the Elite bottle, it still performs very, very well.

Upgrades from P3

Even better aerodynamics - Integrated brake, ICS2, dropped downtube, new seatstays, and integrated water bottle/storage unit (see below). Integrated Water bottle/Storage unit - The bottom bracket area is designed to accept a Cervelo water bottle or storage unit (for tires, CO2 cartridges, tools) without disrupting the airflow at all. For the few UCI races for which this Cervélo solution is considered too fast, the standard Elite aero bottle fits neatly in the same space.

2010 Cervelo S1

The most affordable full-aero road bike

“It explodes off your pedal strokes with that instantaneous acceleration, but it also keeps on rocketing ahead after your booster phase, as if a free tailwind was thrown in with your purchase.” - Bicycling Magazine The most underrated bike in the world according to magazines and pro riders, the S1 is quite simply the best value in road bikes. A 100% pro bike, with victories in Paris-Nice, Critérium International, Liège-Bastogne-Liège, Tour de l’Avénir and many other races. Nowadays people are sometimes so blinded by “carbon” that they prefer a mediocre carbon frame over the best aluminum frame that is lighter, stronger, stiffer, more responsive and even more comfortable. Therefore, try before you buy, as we are confident you will join the ranks of S1 owners. For those who have recognized that the S1 is one of the best bikes in the world in any material, we now also offer this frame with a high-end SRAM New Force groupset.

2010 Cervelo S2

The comfortable aero tubing frame

“The workhorse frame for Cervélo TestTeam” The S2 already has the reputation for being the ultimate pro bike; not surprising, given its long list of victories. But how about comfort? Truth be told, many frames with aero tubing lack in comfort. But at Cervélo, we have been designing aero bikes since our inception, so we have the most experience in building aero frames without sacrificing the traditional focal points of weight, stiffness, strength and comfort. This may explain why only the Cervélo TestTeam used aero frames at the early season cobblestone races (including Thor Hushovd's victory at the semi-Classic Omloop Het Nieuwsblad). While for some races the R-series may still be better, to know that the S2 (and the even more compliant S3) excel even on the cobblestones shows you can have all the usual characteristics of a great frame AND aerodynamics on top of it. That's great news pros and non-pros alike.

Upgrades from S1

Lighter frame - The S1 is very competitive in weight (as a past winner of Liège-Bastogne-Liège, it has to be), the use of carbon fiber allows a further weight reduction. This makes the S2 very competitive in weight even compared to frames without an aero advantage. Higher bottom bracket and torsional stiffness - While even the biggest pro riders have no complaints about the S1’s stiffness, the S2’s additional torsional stiffness make it track through switchbacks in fast descents even better.

2010 Cervelo S3

The lightest aero frame in the world

"I don't think there is any other bike I would buy" - Outside magazine As the inventor of aero road bikes, Cervélo continues to lead the category. Aero road frames are the most difficult frames to design, as they have to be everything in one: aero, light, stiff, comfortable. Cervélo has worked to optimize this balance between the various requirements since its inception 13 years ago. For the S3, the engineers at vroomen.white.design used the R3 seatstay technology, rotated the stays 90 degrees and gave them a proper Cervélo aero shape. This reduces the weight, increases the vertical compliance and improves the aerodynamics. Sounds simple, but the structural design is extremely complex, which is why only Cervélo has such stays. The chainstays were also redesigned to optimize aerodynamics. Finally, the new ICS3 Internal CableStops offers another improvement to our cable routing technology.

Upgrades from S2

Lighter frame - The S2 is light, the S3 is amazingly light. Aero benefits without a weight penalty when compared to most frames, with the S3 you can have your cake and eat it too. More aero - The S2 has led the aero road bikes in windtunnel performance until now, the S3’s new seatstays and chainstays make it the newly crowned king.

2010 Cervelo RS

Higher handlebars, same great performance

“That is the very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very best bike I’ve ever ridden here” - Andreas Klier after Paris-Roubaix Good enough for the pros (as proven by Cervelo TestTeam who raced it at Paris-Roubaix and the Vuelta a Espana), but don’t let that fool you. The RS is designed to give non-racers a bike that suits their style of riding, without the (unfortunately common) sacrifice in your performance experience. Thanks to its taller headtubes, the RS allows you to position your handlebars higher without needing too many spacers (or alternatively, to position your handlebars low with the use of a -17 degree stem).

2010 Cervelo R3

A frame optimized for lightweight, stiffness, strength & comfort

“Winner Paris-Roubaix 2006 & 2007” Two wins at Paris-Roubaix, one second. That’s the R3’s unparalleled record in three participations in the world’s toughest bike race. But to the pro team mechanics, more incredible than the victories is the fact there has never been any mechanical issue with an R3, even though it is the lightest frame to be used in that race. In a race where every manufacturer lies awake worrying the night before, that’s simply unheard of. Yet the R3 is much more than just a Paris-Roubaix frame. Its low weight and high stiffness also make it ideal for climbers and even sprinters. No wonder that its looks have been widely copied. But of course, the R3’s performance is more than paint-deep, and its superiority is safely stowed away in all its small details and proprietary lay-up designs.

2010 Cervelo R3sl

The ultimate lightweight frame

“Carlos Sastre’s choice and winner of the 2008 Tour de France.” The R3sl is the even lighter version of the R3, but without sacrificing anything in stiffness, weight or comfort. With roughly 300 pieces in varying shapes, with different fiber angles and using four different types of carbon (some focused on stiffness, some on strength), the effort to find ways to squeeze more stiffness and strength out of less material never ends, and the R3sl represents the current high-water mark in the industry.

Upgrades from R3

Lighter frame - We don’t like to talk about weights, as many other manufacturers have made a mockery of it with outlandish claims. If weight is important to you, ignore claimed weights, have your retailer weigh the frames and see how light the R3SL is compared to its competitors in the real world.
