Cervelo P2C
| Highlights |
|
|
 |
| |
Constant width seattube cutout – Most cutouts in aero seattubes vary in width as you move up and down. This is not ideal with a tire behind it that has a constant shape. The P2 cutout has a constant width that carefully matches the following tire, thereby greatly improving aerodynamics.
Aero headtube - no bulky nose cone, but an extremely thin, aerodynamically optimized shape
CCS - Constant Cross-section Seattube - The airflow over the seattube is predominantly horizontal. The new seattube shape has a cross section shape that is separately optimized everywhere between bottom bracket and the seatstay joint.
IAA seatpost – Cervélo’s Integrated Accessory Attachment allows you to securely attach a behind-the-seat carriage system – no need to clamp anything to the saddle or around the seatpost. Several manufacturers make components to fit the IAA system.
Integrated Seattube collar – Invisible to the airflow, while still allowing the seatmast to be removed, this design is both the most aero and allows for easy traveling and adjustment.
ICS Internal CableStops - Cervélo’s standard setting cable routing system. Easy to install, easy to service, easy to keep clean and improved aerodynamics..
UCI legal - As with all our frames, the P2 is UCI legal
Frameset - The P2 is also available as a frameset

| 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 P2C 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 a DuraAce component kit .

| 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 did 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. |

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. |
