Frameset
Fast and fit, the P5's skin surfaces are engineered for individual AeroZonesTM, while covering a wide fit range and featuring BBRightTM.
Simply
Faster
SIMPLY . FASTER
Cervélo is launching the most advanced and
the most aerodynamic triathlon bike.
The new P5. Simply Faster.
The all new p5
Built on a long history of aerodynamic and triathlon innovation, the P5 is engineered with four key features that make it Simply Faster.
-
New Geometry For The Perfect Fit
Newly engineered geometry developed to accommodate an extensive range of fit coordinates.
-
Advanced Layup Engineering From Project California
ComfortPly™ removes unnecessary material to reduce vibration and improve ride quality, critical for fresh legs on the run.
-
Fork fits all calipers
A standard center bolt mount is optimized for the Magura hydraulic brake, but accepts any standard brake caliper.
-
Seatpost AeroZoneTM
Variable airfoil truncation in the seatpost AeroZone™ is specifically engineered to keep air attached to the rider and frame longer, thus reducing overall drag.
-
Maximized airflow for ultimate speed
With a longer chord and a head tube and fork engineered together to be AeroMatched™ with the brake, the P5 has been meticulously optimized for the best aero performance.
-
BBRightTM: Asymmetric, lighter, stiffer
An exclusive bottom bracket design for an enormous gain in responsiveness and acceleration.
AeroBar
The world's fastest and best fitting aerobar, with unmatched adjustability and 100% hidden cables.

-
Adjustable Heights For The Ultimate Fit
With three macro height settings and 5mm micro adjustments, the P5 is the perfect match to your best aero position.
-
The Best Traveling Companion
The Aduro aerobar is simple to take apart, and the entire bar consists of only a few parts so assembly and disassembly are easier.
-
Interchangeable and compatible
Featuring interchangeable arm pads, risers and telescoping extensions, the aerobar is also compatible with any shift and brake levers.
-
Simply the fastest aerobar ever created
Cervélo CFD-developed, wind tunnel proven — Simply the fastest aerobar ever engineered.
-
Hidden From The Wind
Because cables can add up to 40 grams of drag when exposed, all cables of the aerobar are 100% hidden, following an ultra low friction cable path.
-
The Perfect Aero Match
The P5’s AeroBar matches perfectly with the brake, fork and frame to form a single aerodynamic body for flawless aerodynamic performance.
Brake
Aero by Cervélo, hydraulics by Magura. Prepare yourself for the fastest brakes on the fastest bike.

-
The Easiest Brake System Around
High compatibility to fit all wheels, and an extremely user-friendly quick release system at the lever.
-
Hydraulic Means No Maintenance
A self-lubricating hydraulic brake system with mineral oil means you can say goodbye to regular line and cable changes.
-
Less Weight, More Power
At under 500 grams, the Magura hydraulic brake system weighs approximately 24 grams less than the next lightest brake.
-
Aero-Matched Head Tube and Cover for Aero Savings
Consisting of two hollow halves attached to the brake arms, the front brake cover reduces aero drag by approximately 9 grams.
-
Rear Brakes Out of Sight
The rear brake of the P5 is hidden below the chainstays under the bottom bracket for ultimate speed.
-
Finally A Brake That Brakes… Fast
Hydraulic performance offers better control, power and modulation to maximize speed management.
Storage & Hydration
Designed for speed and versatility, developed around the P5 to be sleek and intuitive to use, and precisely positioned to reduce drag.
-
Hidden Pocket for Di2 Battery
Cables and battery are completely hidden inside the frame’s Hidden Pocket for an aero improvement of 10-20 grams, and for easy access and service.
-
Smart Storage Solutions
The P5 offers multiple storage options, each one specifically positioned to minimize aero drag, so you’re always ready to race.
-
Hydration, Precisely Positioned
The P5 features a horizontal standard two-bolt bottle cage between the arms on the aerobar, by far the most aero position.
