“The P2C packs a better punch than many bikes at twice the price” - Triathlete magazine
The most popular TT/Tri bike of the past three years among consumers, and a 2-time winner of Ironman Hawaii, the P2 hits that sweet spot of great performance in a very easy-to-use, no-nonsense, affordable package. Testride the P2 and you will realize that not all bikes are created equal.

| Upgrades from the P1 |
| |
|
More aerodynamic frame – By exploiting the opportunities of carbon fiber, the headtube, downtube and rearwheel cutout are further improved. The seattube collar is also fully aerodynamically integrated.
Lighter frame – While the P1 already has a very competitive weight, the P2 shaves another 100g off.
Lighter, more aero fork - The P2 comes standard with the 3T Funda PRO fork.
Lighter, more aero seatpost - The P2 seatpost has a better thickness-to-chord ratio.
Componentry – The P2 is also available in an Ultegra 6700 component kit.

| Feature-Benefit-Experience |
| |
|
The bike industry loves to talk about features (tube shapes, materials, etc). But a feature is useless without a benefit! Ask yourself, would you prefer a poorly engineered frame made of “Ultra High Modulus carbon” (a feature)? Or an intelligently engineered frame that uses the material to create something lighter, stiffer and stronger (real benefits)?
Even more than benefits, you want experiences. The aforementioned lightness & stiffness may be benefits, but what you really want is the experience of higher performance, through quicker acceleration and better climbing.
This is why we list not only features, but also the accompanying benefits and experiences. To recap:
Product Feature: “Which innovative shape, material or design solution was used on this frame?”
Technical Benefit: “What is the advantage of this shape, material or solution?”
Rider Experience: “How does this feature & benefit change my riding experience?” This usually involves experiencing higher performance or more comfort. Some features also offer an esthetic experience, and although we would never sacrifice performance or comfort for beauty, sometimes you can have it all.

Rider Experience |
| Cervelo TT/Tri geometry with 2-postion seatpost |
Better rider fit: Developed over 15 years, our geometry puts your saddle and bars in the best position to support your weight through your bone structure, not your muscles. |
Higher performance and comfort: Supported by your bone structure, you can ride in a fast and comfortable position for a long time, leaving your muscles to focus on pedaling. |
| Higher headtube |
Unless you have a low handlebar position, more headtube means fewer spacers are needed. Thus the frame is stiffer, more aero compared to a stack of round spacers. |
Higher performance, comfort and beauty: Better aerodynamics means more speed, more headtube stiffness renders better handling and using fewer spacers looks better. |
| Constant width seattube cut-out |
Lower aerodynamic resistance: Tire width matches the preceding cut-out perfectly, avoiding turbulence when the air flows past. Sounds logical, yet rarely found on any TT/Tri bike – especially at this price. |
Higher performance: Lower resistance means you need to generate fewer Watts for the same speed. |

Airplanes require different airfoils than bicycles. Sounds logical, but many companies are so proud to say their airfoils come from the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics (NACA). So were we, 13 years ago.
But now, we design our own specific airfoils, and it has led to significant improvements. It’s one of the reasons why we spend weeks and weeks in the windtunnel each year, not hours (if any) as is customary in the industry.
When you have the most and the best engineers working on aerodynamic improvements and you give them more time to play in the windtunnel sand box than anybody else, you end up with faster bikes. Simple.

| Smartwall for Carbon™ |
| |
|
Patent-pending technology from our carbon materials and manufacturing group, Smartwall™ elaborates on the Squoval tubeshape. With the sides far away from the center plane more important, we concentrate more material there to increase the benefit.
Strips of High and Ultra-high modulus carbon stiffen the sides of the main tubes to resist lateral bending. These strips are feathered in to properly transfer the loads from the joints into these tubes.
Finally, we add Kevlar to the headtube/downtube area for industry-leading impact strength.

| Geometry |
| |
|
Cervélos fit better. In the end that is the main reason why they have become the most popular time trial & triathlon bike in history. Of course we have unparalleled aerodynamic know-how, and the frames offer great power transfer and handling. But the most important reason why people are comfortable and fast on Cervélos is that they fit properly.
Cervélo geometry offers two large benefits:
|
1) |
It puts the handlebars and saddle in the right position relative to the bottom bracket very easily in its standard set-up, making it easy to find a fast and comfortable position. |
|
2) |
It offers a very wide range of positioning option thanks to the seatpost design and the different headtube lengths between the P1/P2 and the P3/P4. This allows our customers with a not-so-standard fit to take advantage of Cervélo’s superb aerodynamic and handling performance without any need to go custom. |

| Note 1: | The above headtube lengths are for integrated headsets. To compare to non-integrated headtubes, deduct 20mm from the above lengths to adjust for the stack height needed for non-integrated headsets. |
| Note 2: | All our TT/tri bikes have a dropped toptube and shortened headtube to enable the rider to position the aerobars low enough for a proper aero position. This means that the frame size is no longer equivalent to the seattube length, so don't determine the size that way. Simply go by the size sticker, or measure the headtube and look it up in the above chart. |
