Description
A rider that can win on the cobbles of Paris Roubaix, not once but twice and also take victory on the mountains of the Tour de France is quite a special and one that does not come along all that often. A frameset that has this sort of palmares also is rare, the Cervelo R3 is that frameset though. Twice winner of the famous cobbled classic as well as taking victory in the world’s biggest stage race. The Cervelo R3 Frameset 2015, is perfect for those looking for a frameset that can do it all. Ideal for racing, sportives or just all day riding in the sun.
Lightweight at less than 1000 grams, the new frameset is 24% stiffer at the headtube than it’s predecessor. This produces a better handling and more direct frameset, yet does not compromise comfort.
Comfort has further been improved using ComfortPly Technology that uses specific carbon layering to produce a smoother ride, especially over rough terrain.
Squoval main tubes are a Cervelo trademark and combine immense strength with race ready stiffness. Redeveloped Squoval 3 tubing reduces air drag, a 7-watt improvement compared to the previous R3. These large tubes mean the seatstays can be made thinner and weight can be reduced.
Designed with riding and racing over rough roads in mind, Cervelo have catered for this with clearance for 28c tyres.
Cervelo are always ready for whatever technological innovation comes next so interchangeable ICS (internal cable stops) have been added to give the option of fitting either mechanical or electronic groupsets and even hydraulic braking systems.
The Cervelo R3 Frameset houses the lightweight, reliable and versatile, BBright System, allowing for a wide range of cranks to be fitted, using the modern press fit system. The bottom bracket shell is now 8% stiffer than ever before providing even more direct power transfer to the pedals.
The head tube has been tapered as well as increased in size and reduced in length. All this equates to high levels of stiffness and improved handling, with no added weight penalty.
The perfect frameset for those who want a technological, feature packed, lightweight and well priced starting point to add their favourite wheels, components and groupset to. Available in range of sizes and a black colour scheme.

Optimized Tapered Head Tube
Larger lower head tube dimensions offer an improvement in stiffness and handling. However, it is not as simple as 'bigger is always better'.
Squoval 3
Stiff, light and now aero too.
Future-Proof Internal Cables
Sleek, smooth and mechanic-friendly.
BBright
BBright optimizes system stiffness and weight while allowing for the largest range of crank compatibility in a modern press fit system.
ComfortPly Technology
Years of composite layup development have yielded exceptional results. Changes to the layup have resulted in a significantly smoother ride.
Ultra Thin Seat Stays
Shapes and materials can add stiffness where it counts. They can also be designed to take stiffness away from where you don't want it.
Single Bend Cable Routing
Smooth shifting that is easy to set up is no accident. Designing shifting requires a detailed approach. Small details have a huge impact.
