Upgrades from P2C
More aero seattube - The curved seattube covers more of the rearwheel than any other cutout, resulting in even better aerodynamics.
More aero seatstay/seattube transition - The seatstays blend into the main triangle without any aerodynamic disruption in the form of a monostay, thereby further improving the aerodynamics.
Lighter - The new P3C is 150g lighter than the P2C.
Features
The new standard - Just like the P3 took the time trial and triathlon world by storm, so has the P3C. Victorious in roughly half of the ProTour TTs in which it has been entered and equally successful in Ironman Triathlons, the P3C is the reference for the time trial bike market.
Aero headtube - no bulky nose cone, but an extremely thin, aerodynamically optimized shape
CCS - Constant Cross-section Seattube - The airflow over the seattube is predominantly horizontal. The new seattube shape has a cross section shape that is separately optimized everywhere between bottom bracket and the seatstay joint.
Integrated Seattube collar - By integrating the seattube collar completely into the toptube, we are able to smoothen the aerodynamic profile even further. The airflow doesn't even see the collar, yet the seatpost can be removed with ease. By integrating the seatpost into the frame aerodynamically but not structurally, you can fit the P3C into any bike case and travel without a problem, something that is very difficult to do with other integrated seatpost solutions that have the seatpost molded into the frame in one piece and that do not allow for the seatpost to be removed.The new system with the removable seatpost is superior not only for traveling but also aerodynamically, as it allows the use of a much narrower seatpost than if it was a structural part of the frame.
ICS Internal Cable Stops - The best internal cable stop system available. Easy to install, easy to service, easy to keep clean and improved aerodynamics.
UCI legal - As with all our frames, the P3C is UCI legal
