Cervélo simply rolled out a flashy restricted version Paris Inexperienced P-Sequence time trial & triathlon body package impressed by Nineteenth-century French impressionist and post-impressionist painters. This new Cervélo P-Sequence is the model’s extra inexpensive TT & tri bike, adapting a lot of the top-tier aero tech from their “quickest TT bike within the World Tour” for a broader viewers, and now including new options like inner storage and wider wheel and tire clearance.
And this restricted frameset comes with the brand new large Reserve 52|63 wheels that the body we optimized for within the wind tunnel, and bonus… with matching Paris Inexperienced graphics.
Oh, and I’m going to exit on a limb and say that it’s all yellow, not inexperienced.
Cervélo P-Sequence Paris Inexperienced restricted version TT & triathlon bike
OK, let’s get this straight. Cervélo is looking the restricted version P-Sequence coloration Paris Inexperienced as a result of it “takes inspiration from an arsenic-basedpigment developed within the Nineteenth century… utilized by Georges Seurat and Claude Monet, amongst others, to render vivid pure scenes in oil work.” So these masters of French portray used it to render laborious to breed greens. Albeit, it looks as if Wikipedia thinks that Paris Inexperienced is much more inexperienced than this at finest acid inexperienced Cervélo P-series.
Fully off-topic, however bike trade attention-grabbing… Paris Inexperienced pigment (initially categorised because the world’s first chemical insecticide) was invented in Schweinfurt, Germany the place SRAM has its German engineering HQ and the place tech like the newest Zipp hubs had been developed. And that features the Zipp ZR1 hubs within the restricted version wheels that include this particular body package.
Kinda bizarre enjoyable reality.
OK, so the 2024 P-Sequence is totally new!
Right here’s the factor. Earlier this summer season Cervélo revamped each their top-tier P5 and extra inexpensive P-Sequence UCI-approved time trial and triathlon bikes. It occurred through the time trial stage after we had been at Eurobike. And Cervélo additionally was not at Eurobike. So I missed each updates till now.
This new P-Sequence is a fairly large departure from the earlier technology, because it strikes nearer to the range-topping P5. It nonetheless has a extra standard entrance finish and maintains mechanical drivetrain compatibility with exterior cable routing coming into behind the headset and a regular 1 1/8″ spherical steerer interface for traditional stem & bar setups. However the entire seat cluster obtained reshaped to make for smoother airflow down into wide-set seatstays, and the identical round wider fork legs.
Cervélo optimized all of it round wider 52mm deep x 25mm inner entrance & 63mm deep x 24mm inner rear Reserve wheels fitted with 29mm Vittoria Corsa tires to go quicker – and save a claimed 3.5W.
On the identical time, the brand new P-series additionally provides inner body storage by a hatch below the downtube water bottle mount (however loses earlier aero bottle compatibility).
Normal P-series framesets with out wheels begin at $3000. Then, full P-series TT/tri bikes begin at $3950 with mechanical 105 and go as much as $7300 with Ultegra Di2 on these premium Reserve wheels like proven above.
Additionally a brand new Cervélo P5 in 2024, too
Sure, the 2024 Cervélo P5 is new, too. However the adjustments are much less dramatic. The older model that we coated all the way in which again in 2019, was actually simply up to date final summer season with a barely smoother ‘fastback’ seat cluster and greater 34mm tire clearance – each for improved rider consolation. And each options that the brand new P-series inherits, as effectively.
The entrance finish does get stiffer with simplification, the bottom bar will get a bit decrease, and vertical adjustability of the aerobars will increase to compensate. And Cervélo offers the highest P5 an even bigger 61cm dimension to match the broader 6-size vary already supplied on the extra inexpensive P-series.
Ultimately, all of it provides as much as a claimed 1W aerodynamic enchancment. And that climbs 4W extra when paired with new large Reserve 77|88 wheels with 29mm Vittoria tires, very similar to the shallower wheels on the P-series
Pricing is so much increased on the extra built-in and electronic-only P5. The 2024 Cervélo P5 frameset (together with cockpit & seatpost) sells for $6000, the ‘least expensive’ full construct with Ultegra Di2 for $10,000, and the top-end Dura-Ace Di2 or Pink AXS fashions for $13,500.
