The first line of the BIkeRadar article on the 2019 line:

Cérvelo might still have three major announcements waiting in the wings, but there's plenty to like in its 2019 range.


In other words, there's more new product to come.

Thanks. How the hell did I miss that? ugh

Here's the link to the article:

The P3 photo looks green, but I think it's actually the same fluoro color you see on the 18 P3 (but in a different paint design).

Based on the hints a few retailers ha e dropped in threads I’m guessing a new S5 is one of the announcements. Interesting what the other two are...or when they’ll get around to making them.

Not sure what to think of the new P5x paint. The C-series looks ugly unfortunately. Also I’m surprised they haven’t upped the tire clearance a bit more. Also a little surprised they are doing The R2 in rim only since it shares the same frame as the R3 which is available in both rim and disc.

Mosly I’m hoping to find a killer deal on the bright yellow 2018 R3 now that the new ones are coming out :)

So if Shimano cranks are on the p2, are they not using a bbright bottom bracket? Or using an adapter...

My LBS has confirmed there will be a new S5 at interbike...

Not trying to entirely derail this thread, but I find it funny that at the TDF Shimano won 18 stages, Campy 3 and ZILCH by SRAM--nadda...

Sram is definitely slower. That must be it =)

I'm wondering if the whole S line will see a significant change. I've noticed multiple online retailers have their S3d marked way down (i.e. $3000 for the mechanical ultegra which normally sells for $4500) while the previous model year R-series are still full price. Making room for something more than just a new color scheme?

Not my picture... popped up on Weight Weenies 3 days ago or so.

Ha! This might just prevent me from getting the new Venge

Nice grab, thanks for sharing. Is it me or does the cockpit appear to have a "high V" configuration? Not to hate on discs but hopefully this lowers the price of S5 of the prior generation S5 frame sets :)

I’d guess the prices will be around $5200 frameset, $6,000 Ultegra, $8,500 Ultegra Di2, $11,500 eTap or DA Di2

And the stem does appear to have the high v look. Interestingly the person who posted this on WW created an account just for that.

It's a good looking bike, I'm just not a fan of the proprietary cockpit.

The poster of the pic at ww broke a dealers day visitor contract definitively ..

I have been watching on FleeBay and S5, gen 2, is now about sub-1500$. I'm tempted, but I figure I will wait for a Madone. Prices have come down on those, but not really below 2200$. If you are looking for fast and cheap, the Felt AR is the ticket. There was a really nice AR frame that went for 475$ in a 54cm (popular size). The windtunnel data for the new Cannondale compared it to the AR and it was very good (in line with Felt's numbers).

Felt AR is da bomb. It can even fit 27-28mm tubs (a rarity for non-disc aero bikes). Slap an Omega X in front and you've been aero-covered.

Need more W/CdA.

Is there even a benefit of having an integrated fork with disc brakes? I get integrating the fork and rim brakes but it seems like its just adding material and weight.

Oh man, do me a favor and look out for a 56 or 58 for me! I saw that Felt you are referring to and I’ve seen a couple of Madone frames but I’m yet to see a second generation S5 below $3,000 in any form.

I heard from a guy working with cervelo that there would be a p5 with discs this year, and updated p2/p3 in 2020

And they may not. Because S5 will only be disc now, the previous model with rim brakes may have enough uniqueness and appeability to certain riders that it won’t plummet as much as you think. I remember the anticipated plummet of the secondary P5 market after the announcement of the P5x that never really came to fruition. This may be different but who knows.

That’s a distinct possibility.

Either an adapter, or more than likely, a Shimano-BBright specific bottom bracket like this from rotor.
