BICYLE ROAD: Cervélo R3

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.
