Cervelo R-Series Disc Road Frameset

Cervelo says...

As we see plenty of road bikes get more and more specialized, we're glad to see there are still some really good all-rounders out there like the Cervelo R-Series Disc Frameset. It's simply an ideal all-rounder that places a premium on stiffness to weight, lends a subtle nod to aerodynamics, and has a proven track record in some of the biggest races of the tour--all without neglecting rider comfort. If you value a jack-of-all-trades machine that's quick on the climbs, confident on the descents, and comfortable across long distances, talk to one of our gearheads and we can help you build this R-Series frame into the ideal bike for your racing and training needs. There's no need to fear any sprint or climb when aboard the R-Series. The frameset is built using special carbon layups and construction techniques, allowing Cervelo to reduce the frame's weight while making it stiffer at key points. This remarkable stiffness to weight ratio means the R-Series is agile and responds instantly to pedaling efforts and tracks through turns with authority. Cervelo uses advanced engineering software like Finite Element Analysis (FEA) that allows it to better understand exactly how each layer of carbon fiber is working and if it's being used properly. Its carbon expertise prescribes a specific frame layup by placing hundreds of individually cut plies of carbon in a mold in a certain order and orientation. By precisely cutting these plies, the frame is able to be made lighter while still achieving the desired strength and reliability. And because different areas of a frame experience different loads while climbing, sprinting, and descending, to better cope with these forces, Cervelo creates different layups by placing the fibers at different angles in specific areas for the desired metrics. In addition to reducing weight, maximizing strength and stiffness, it's also instrumental in how comfortable the bike is to ride and it's backed up with extensive in-house testing and real-worl...
