Cervélo P4

The world's first fully-integrated aero TT/Tri bike
While outlandish claims fly in the world of “superbikes”, the quiet redesign of the P4evo keeps it firmly atop the ranks for the ultimate in TT/Tri bike design. 25 upgrades including a better IBT rear brake, ICS3 cable routing, more secure seatpost clamping and improved downtube & seattube shapes help it to remain the fastest in our latest test of all the newest TT/Tri bikes. Faster than ever while easier to set-up and maintain, a golden combination.
The P4 is part of the P-series, made for the timed solo effort from prologue to the Race Across America and from sprint triathlon to Ironman.
Experience:
1. Cervelo’s tried and true geometry, putting the rider in a fast and comfortable position.
2. Aerodynamic design to reduce drag resistance and increase speed.
3. Handling and stiffness characteristics straight from the road models.

The release of the Cervélo P4 might have been the most anticipated debut of any bike in the history of the sport. Following on the heels of the Cervélo P3, many athletes were on the edge of their seats waiting to see what Cervélo would come up with. The model hasn’t yet permeated transition areas like the P3 did and Cervélo has updated it with 25 design changes for 2011. Everything from the seat post to the downtube shape to the integrated water bottle has been examined and improved, making one of the fastest bikes in the world more user-friendly. Many of these improvements are easily retrofitted onto existing P4s. It comes equipped with Sram’s top-of-the-line Red group, along with Rotor’s 3D crank set and 3T’s new Aura carbon aerobar.
