Cervélo’s P-series time trial bikes have become revered among the clock-chasing fraternity, with good reason. Always innovative, Cervélo sets the standard for others to beat, but can the P5 still cut it?
Bespoke bar
The cockpit has a bespoke and fully adjustable one-piece 3T carbon stem and base bar, with carbon extensions. The narrow base bar’s wing-shaped top allows the extensions to be raised with the sculpted aero support pictured, or with some tinkering, they’ll sit just on top of the bar, which is how we tested the bike.

Twin exhausts for a couple of tiny rocket motors, or bolts to clamp the dedicated aero seatpost?
A void within the stem hides the Di2 junction box and wires, plus hoses for the Magura RT8 hydraulic callipers. Their delta shape matches that of the fork crown, and a two-part aero cover ensures minimal leading-edge wind disruption. The rear brake is hidden behind a cowl under the bottom bracket.
