The P5X is faster and more aerodynamic than any other triathlon bike which have tested by Cervelo. The P5X is the most aerodynamic bike when you ride it fully loaded with the hydration and nutrition requirements of a long distance race.
The new P5 has not been exactly a secret to both those in the industry as well as anyone that keeps up to date with the cycling gossip sites across the internet. The new P5 Cervelo is a completely a new bike. To paraphrase Graham Shrive, Director of Engineering for Cervelo – the original P5 was built based on what the computers told Cervelo would be the fastest bike possible. The new P5 takes that same idea – build the fastest bike possible, but also adds in best in class goals for stiffness and weight on top of aero.
P in P5 cervelo bike stands for performance so there is no better place to start with describing the new P5 than its aero data. Cervelo has built a disc brake equipped bike that is not just as good as its rim brake equipped predecessor – but Cervelo tells us on average, beats it by 17g.
