OK, so this bike has won more than any other in history – by a country mile. But more importantly, it is the most used bike at Ironman racing and time trialing ever – by “regular” customers. No wonder it is still the reference for the entire bike industry, and the most copied bike in history. Yet its popularity remains, because the original is still unmatched. 

DESIGN BENEFIT

Cervelo TT/Tri geometry with 2-postion seatpost - Better rider fit: Developed over 15 years, Cervelo's geometry puts your saddle and bars in the best position to support your weight through your bone structure, not your muscles.

Curved seattube cut-out - Covers the entire section of the rear wheel as appropriate, with a width that matches the trailing tire, thereby lowering the aero drag of the frame-rear wheel combination.

Aero & Narrow headtube - very thin, no bulky nose cone - Smaller frontal area and better shape reduces the aerodynamic resistance of the frame

TRUEAERO

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 were we, 13 years ago. 

But now, Cervelo's designs their own specific airfoils, and it has led to significant improvements. It’s one of the reasons why they 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 Cervelo's 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, Cervelo has added Kevlar to the headtube/downtube area for industry-leading impact strength.
