Cervelo S1
THE MOST AFFORDABLE FULL-AERO ROAD BIKE“It explodes off your pedal strokes with that instantaneous acceleration, but it also keeps on rocketing ahead after your booster phase, as if a free tailwind was thrown in with your purchase.” - Bicycling MagazineThe most underrated bike in the world according to magazines and pro riders, the S1 is quite simply the best value in road bikes. A 100% pro bike, with victories in Paris-Nice, Critérium International, Liège-Bastogne-Liège, Tour de l’Avénir and many other races.Nowadays people are sometimes so blinded by “carbon” that they prefer a mediocre carbon frame over the best aluminum frame that is lighter, stronger, stiffer, more responsive and even more comfortable. Therefore, try before you buy, as we are confident you will join the ranks of S1 owners. For those who have recognized that the S1 is one of the best bikes in the world in any material, we now also offer this frame with a high-end SRAM New Force groupset.
TRUEAERO®Airplanes require different airfoils than bicycles. Sounds logical, but many companies are so proud to say their airfoils come from the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics (NACA). So were we, 13 years ago.But now, we design our own specific airfoils, and it has led to significant improvements. It’s one of the reasons why we spend weeks and weeks in the windtunnel each year, not hours (if any) as is customary in the industry.When you have the most and the best engineers working on aerodynamic improvements and you give them more time to play in the windtunnel sand box than anybody else, you end up with faster bikes. Simple.
SMARTWALL 2™Smartwall™ puts the material where it matters, far away from the center plane. This increases bottom bracket stiffness (more efficient power transfer) and torsional stiffness (better handling) while at the same time reducing in-plane harshness. It’s why S1 test rides convince so many people to get this Aluminum bike instead of a carbon bike.
No custom Cervélo is needed even for the most demanding pros, that's our conclusion after supporting hundreds of the world's best athletes. The reason we don't need customs where other bike companies do lies in our unique reach-based geometry.
