Description

COMPLETELY RE-ENGINEERED TO SET THE STANDARD ONCE AGAIN

The original R3 has set the standard for lightweight yet stiff, strong and comfortable frames over the past five years. Its super-thin seatstays, Squoval tube shapes and in-house developed layup were a major leap forward in frame design. The completely re-engineered 2011 R3 takes another leap. The BBright system almost DOUBLES the already impressive BB stiffness and the tapered 1-3/8th tapered FK30 fork tracks like no other. The lab numbers are impressive, but experiencing one on the road is even more amazing. Testride one today! The R3 is part of the R-series, designed to make the difference on the hills and mountains. Experience: 1. Low weight to help your climbing.
2. Torsional stiffness for safety and confidence while descending.
3. BB stiffness to not waste any energy.
4. Vertical compliance and vibration damping for comfort on long rides & bad roads.

How do you improve on an frame with an industry-leading stiffness-to-weight ratio? With the all-new R3! The Project California development team have managed to reset the benchmark for incredible stiffness yet unbelievable weight. The BBright-optimised frame works together with BBright-compatible cranks to give the stiffest system available. A new size of steerer tube offers the best balance of torsional stiffness, weight, and comfort, tapering from 1-1/8 to 1-3/8 inches. Other changes include detail improvements to the seat tube clamp, the rear derailleur hanger, the front derailleur mount, and the cable routing.

The latest R-series frames refine Cervelo's concept of 'Stack and Reach' to give the perfect geometry, with the result that every male and female rider in the Cervelo Test Teams fits a standard frame perfectly.

Supplied with a Cervelo FK30SL fork, 3T Dorico Team seatpin, and integrated headset.
