Cervelo R3

Geometry



 
Our road bike geometry is a little different than most companies', but the important thing is that it works. Before Team CSC rode on Cervélos, it used a frame that came in 12 sizes yet several riders needed custom-made frames because none of the 12 fit. Now, they use five sizes (there is no CSC rider who needs the 61cm frame) and there isn't a single rider on the roster who needs a custom-made frame.

We see the same with our dealers, thanks to the logical size distribution customers are almost always able to find their preferred position on a Cervélo. No need for customs, certainly no need for women-specific geometry (to learn more about the fallacies of women-specific geometry, please check out this Knowledge Base article). The Knowledge Base also provides more information about our general road bike geometry philosophy.

Note 1: The standover height is measured to the toptube directly above the bottom bracket.
Note 2: 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.

Components
 
 
The R3 is available as a frameset or with the DuraAce Team kit. Because Team CSC is so focused on equipment, it uses many different parts depending on the race course so there is no such thing as THE team kit. The Team kit we have put together reflects a few choices that the team makes for maximum durability, most notably the Ultegra cassette that you will find on all of their training and about half of their race wheels. We figure that just like it is for Team CSC, durability is a more important feature on your training wheels than saving a few grams. Speaking of wheels, for the complete team race kit, speak to your Cervélo dealer about a set of Zipp carbon wheels with a DuraAce cassette for racing.
