Cervelo P5X eTap Time Trial Bike 2017 Black/Red
The Cervelo P5X eTap Time Trial Bike 2017 delivers the most advanced triathlon ride available, meeting the unique needs of every triathlete, whether training, racing or travelling. From aerodynamically integrated storage and stress-free packing to unprecedented micro & macro adjustability, the P5X focuses on a singular goal: helping triathletes achieve their personal best. With three years of research & data analysis, Cervelo’s design engineers have put every last detail of the Cervelo P5X through a rigorous design process. From modular integrated storage to ease of adjustment and simple packing, the P5X has it covered. Smartpak, Stealthbox & Speedcase components are exclusive to the P5X. Strategically placed for maximum aero-dynamic efficiency, these solutions provide secure storage for nutrition, flat tool kits & cold weather gear. The P5X also takes the stress out of assembly & travel. It can be disassembled by removing a few bolts with minimal tools, while the two-piece foldable aerobar with proprietary padded holster ensures secure, quick packing. Aero excellence is integral to Cervelo’s DNA, and the P5X is no exception. More than 180 hours of wind-tunnel testing, along with extensive CFD analysis of 150-plus frame iterations, pushed the limits of performance further than ever before. On average the Cervelo P5X is 30 grams faster than the P5 at +15 to -15 yaw angles in a full ironman set-up. The ease of adjustability is another key aspect for the P5X. Its unprecedented micro & macro adjustability allows every athlete to find their perfect position quickly and easily. Cervelo believe confidence and performance are synonymous, which is why the P5X features flat-mount disc brakes & thru-axles. Not only does this system contribute to the bike’s peerless aero-dynamics, it also offers exceptional modulation and stopping power in all conditions with minimal maintenance. Cervelo P5X eTap 2017 Features Data-Driven Design Maximum Usability Aero Excellence Micro & Macro Adjustability Cervelo P5X Technology Highlights Aero Cable Management – Improves aerodynamic & shift/braking performance by favouring internal cable paths with fewer bends & kinks. Future-proof compatibility. BBright – This asymmetrical 79mm Bottom-Bracket standard yields stiffer, lighter frames & crank systems. Built for Bottles – Minimizes the aero penalty by partly integration the water bottle into the downtube airfoil. Dropped Down Tube – Reduces drag by treating the front wheel & wheel as one aero-dynamic shape. Evolved Steerer Design – Diameter & taper designs that guarantees the best combination of torsional stiffness, compliance & aero-efficiency. Reduced-friction BB Guide – Significantly reduces cable friction in the Bottom Bracket, resulting in smoother shifting, easier set-up & less time in the workshop.
