If you are looking for the absolute lightest bike without sacrificing stiffness or strength, you can't do any better than the R3. As a benefit, the R3 will also fit wide tires, even narrow cyclocross tires, for those interested in riding through mud or harsh winters. The R3 is strong and ideal for bad conditions, yet light and stiff in bottom bracket and torsion.

Good enough for the pros (as proven by Cervelo TestTeam who raced it at Paris-Roubaix and the Vuelta a Espana), but don’t let that fool you. The RS is designed to give non-racers a bike that suits their style of riding, without the (unfortunately common) sacrifice in your performance experience. Thanks to its taller headtubes, the RS allows you to position your handlebars higher without needing too many spacers (or alternatively, to position your handlebars low with the use of a -17 degree stem).

The S Series has the technical features, the ride quality, and the pedigree to be a very expensive "super frame", but it is in fact the least expensive way to ride the exact same frame the top pros ride. If that isn't reason enough, it also morphs into a part-time TT/Tri bike for those who desire so, simply use the Cervélo aero seatpost with flippable head.  Available models include S1, S2 and S3.
