2008 Cervelo R3-SL Road Bike

*Nytro Podium Bike

Product Overview
The absolute best of the best in stiffness-to-weight comparisons. A world class road bike that takes one of the very best bikes in the industry (the Cervelo R3) and makes it even better. Take the ultimate sprinting and climbing weapon to your next race and let it rip! Features include:
- Smartwall/ Squoval downtube & chainstays: By shaping the tubes in a square/oval design, Cervelo maximized the structural strength of their high quality carbon fiber. With the resulting strength across the entire frame they were able to use less material and still achieve superior stiffness.
- Narrow Seatstays:  As a result of the incredible strength created by the squoval design, Cervelo was able to eliminate the majority of material from the seatstays. The result: An incredible shock absorption system that reduces rider fatigue (crucial for cobblestone races like Parix-Roubaix where the results speak from themselves). The R3 series already blows away the competition in the stiffness-to-weight testing; however, in the stiffness-to-weight-to-ride comfort comparison, the R3-SL is light-years ahead.
- Further Lay-Up Optimization: Cervelo has a wealth of in-house knowledge about how to increase the performance of carbon frames. The R3-SL is the latest iteration of Cervelo's lay-up optimization, further increasing the frames strength-to-weight.
- Component Package: The R3-SL wheels and components are durable, efficient, and carefully chosen to maximize the capabilities of the frame in both training and racing. For a "pure racing" set-up, please call Nytro for upgrades.

Test Review
+ Acceleration is INCREDIBLE! Get a jump on the competition, using the strength-to-weight ratio, when it is most vital.
+ Incredibly smooth ride. The seatstay design is great for those experiencing aches and pains after long rides.
+ Climbs like a true champion. "We are going uphill?"
