Cervelo P5

Cervélo P5: Simply•Faster

The most advanced and the most aerodynamic triathlon and time trial bike ever engineered with an unmatched range of fit, superior hydraulic brakes, and a versatile storage and hydration system.

Four features define the P5

Frameset: Fast and Fit. The P5 is the most aerodynamic, best-fitting, and best match of stiffness and comfort. The P5 frameset is Cervélo’s most aerodynamic ever, with skin surfaces tuned for each AeroZone™ to optimize airflow conditions at each point along the frame. The result is a time saving of ~30-seconds in a 40-kilometer time trial. The P5 also features a BBright™ bottom bracket for ultimate power transfer and ComfortPly™ technology which removes unnecessary material to reduce vibration and improve ride quality.

Aerobar: The world’s fastest and best-fitting aerobar. The integrated Aduro™ aerobar has been designed by Cervélo and manufactured by 3T. It features 100% hidden cables that eliminate aero drag and engineered cable paths that minimize bends and maximize shifting performance. With its innovative design, the Aduro can be positioned lower than most existing bars and allows for over 11cm of easy upward adjustment.

Brake: Aero by Cervélo, hydraulics by Magura. The P5 brake system is aerodynamically superior to and lighter than any standard caliper or disc brake. The zero-maintenance hydraulic system also provides outstanding modulation and superior stopping power. It includes integrated aero brake levers and an aerodynamic caliper design. And the calipers adjust to fit all wheels, including the newest wide rims. The P5 is the only tri bike in the world featuring a hydraulic brake as OEM equipment in 2012.

Storage & Hydration: Designed for speed and versatility, a full range of sleek and intuitive storage solutions are custom designed for the P5. From an integral bottle cage mount between the aerobar pads, to a Shimano Di2 battery located inside the frame’s HiddenPocket™, to multiple locations for nutrition, the P5 mates optimal aero locations with ease of access.

Find The Right Size

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, P3/P4 and the P5. 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.
