Description
With its long list of features and accomplishments, it is no surprise that the P3C is the most sought after TT/Tri machine available. The P3 Carbon is designed to go fast, with every feature focused on aerodynamics, BB and torsional stiffness, comfort and low weight. Everything on the frame has a purpose, nothing is superfluous. No wonder that at the Silverman $100,000 Challenge (which featured a 180km tme trial and where bike sponsor commitments didn't exist), 80% of the pros were on a P3 Carbon, and only one got his as a sponsorship from us. The others bought their P3 Carbons. When a bike this fast is available, wouldn't you prefer to race on it rather than against it?
Features
Optimized rear wheel cutout-Don't be fooled by imitations: just because a seattube is curved doesn't mean it's fast. The Cervelo P3 Carbon seattube cutout is still the only one with all the proper details that allow the air to flow from the seattube to the rear wheel with the least amount of disturbance.
TrueAero tube shapes and minimal frontal area for optimal aerodynamics, Smartwall for Carbon lay-up to optimize the bottom bracket and torsional stiffness of the frame.
The Integrated seattube collar provides you aerodynamically with an integrated seatmast, but structurally the post can still be removed with ease so you can fit the P3 Carbon into any bike case for travel. This is always an issue with frames with a structurally integrated seatmast, as we know from the original P2 which was the first bike to sport that feature. 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.
