Just went in to order a new 2018 Cervelo P2 105 to build up over the winter and I had to walk out. Cervelo has jacked up their Canadian price by $1000 on a bike Spec'd almost identical to what it was last year?? And this on a Frameset that has now been around for a while? What gives?

If you ride a 56, 58, or 61, you could ask for the black/red/white P5 frameset that's on clearance... It retails for $2600 US right now.....just a thought....

What gives?P2 105 on sale at R&A Cycles for $2400. I spoke to them awhile back. You can fly in or get an agent (friend) to pay for it and they will ship it to you.

When I bought my first TT bike in 2015 I ended up with the Felt B14 with Ultegra for $1,999. That was the standard price at the time. The 2015 Cervelo P2 at the time was around $2,500 and it had 105. The geometry of the two are different so the P2 was not a good fit for me anyhow but I did wonder why so much difference in price.
The B14 has served me well. Also they did that wind tunnel test earlier this year and the B series was the benchmark test bike. So you can see how much time you might give up between the B series and "super" bikes. I would imagine difference in CdA between P2 and Felt B14 isn't much.

Yes, $3800 CND. And also just saw the they haven't increased their USD prices at all! I can find a 2017 Black or White Framest P2, but the fact was more that I can't see why they'd increase the bike price as the frameset gets older and the SPEC is the same! So I'll go with the lesser as its all about fit and speed! But the new colours certainly are nicer in my eyes!

Just checked Felts current price for the B14, still $1,999 US. Checked the current P2, $2,800 US and still 105 vs Ultegra for the B14. Not worth $800 US more IMO.

I'm just guessing here, but it could be the entire marketing strategy - get lots of hype and news with their super-uber-superbike P5x or whatever its called, which almost nobody will buy, but use the hype to then jack up the prices of their real moneymakers, of which I suspect the P2 is a big one.
Re: Much love Cervelo P2 price jacked up! [mpkellyjunior]

Well, 3800 CDN is pretty close to the USA price ya know..

I notice on their website you can get a p2 ultegra di2 on clearance for $3700. Perhaps a local dealer might be able to do better?

What gives?Same in Australia. $4k for 105?? And considering there's virtually no difference in models, why would you bother. I ended up selling my P2 and went for a TM02.$1k cheaper.

Did you try Wheels of Blood? They are selling S2s and R2s (105 I think) for $1,900 Canadian, and a P3 with DuraAce for $2,999. They might have some P2s around that they will give you a good price on.

I was just reading the S5 disc review on Bike Radar and they want 7000$ US for the Ultegra Ui2. WTF! Sounds like Cervelo is jacking their prices up across the board.

2017's Cervelo S5 (non-disc) Ultegra DI2 model retails at $8,500. That's actually a big price drop.
Whether that's still over-priced or not is a different story.

It should have been S3. Since when does a mid-level bike with mid- grade components sell for that much. Cervelo is trying to take advantage of BryanD's enthusiasm for discs.

Have you ridden an S3? it is hardly a mid grade bike and the Ui2 bike MSRP is $7700 USD and includes a set of ENVE wheels...

Slowman, I was shocked. And sad. So was the dealer as it was the first time he'd noticed it (so he tells me). He called his Cervelo rep and the response was that they should have raised the prices last year but never did. So they did this year. 2017 Cervelo P2 105 retail was $2900. 2018 Cervelo P2 105 is now $3800. Its about fit to me. So most likely I'll be placing myself aboard a 2017!

But Cervelo is a Canadian company so it might explain why the canadian pricing was the way it was. Just a theory!
Re: Much love Cervelo P2 price jacked up! [mpkellyjunior]
[ In reply to ]
yeah and they have bumped the R3 from I think 4800 to 6800 from what I can see - primarily ultegra mechanical with disk is what I looked at before walking
Wheels of Bloor P3 Dura-ace CDN $2999.
