CerveloS3

01
Algupära
The S3 is the accessible member of Cervelo's aero road family, sitting below the flagship S5. It applies the brand's True Aero tube-shape library — the same aerodynamic philosophy that shaped WorldTour sprint stages — to a complete bike that most club racers can afford. The disc brake iteration, launched around 2017–2018, shed 102 g of aerodynamic drag versus its predecessor and introduced hydraulic stopping power without compromising the aero silhouette.

Tehnilised andmed
- Raam
- Carbon fiber with proprietary True Aero tube shapes; asymmetric BBright bottom bracket shell; asymmetric chainstays (larger non-drive side)
- Kahvel
- Full-carbon fork; 4.3 cm offset; disc-mount version uses flat-mount caliper standard
- Jõuülekanne
- Shimano Ultegra (mechanical or Di2); 52/36 chainring; 11-30 cassette on test build
- Pidurid
- Shimano hydraulic disc, flat-mount; 160 mm front / 140 mm rear rotors
- Rattad
- DT Swiss P1800 Spline 32 disc (test build); 32 mm deep alloy rim; 21 mm outer / 18 mm inner width; ~1,752 g per pair
- Rehvid
- 25 mm Continental Grand Prix (test spec); narrow rim limits practical wider tire use
- Vedrustus
- Rigid (aero road frame)
- Rooliplokk
- Standard road bars; internal cable routing via BBright/S3 channel; compatible with standard 31.8 mm clamp stems
- Geomeetria
- 73.5° head angle; 73° seat angle; 999 mm wheelbase (58 cm); 405 mm chainstays; relatively aggressive race fit
- Kaal
- Complete bike ~8.65 kg (56 cm, Ultegra disc build); disc frame 68 g lighter than predecessor; claimed 102 g drag reduction / 13 W saving over prior generation

Verdikt
+Tugevused
- Measurable aero advantage over a standard round-tube road bike — 13 W saving is real and rider-perceptible at race pace
- BBright BB delivers outstanding pedalling stiffness with minimal power loss through the drivetrain
- Very competitive price-to-performance ratio within the aero road category
−Nõrkused
- Narrow 25 mm tire spec and DT Swiss P1800 wheels are entry-level for a premium-priced aero bike
- Comfort is secondary — stiff aero tubes transmit more road chatter than the R-series on rough tarmac
- BBright requires a proprietary crankset or adapter — limits future drivetrain upgrade options
