Cervelo P5 Rival AXS 1

Built for Speed. Designed for the Demands of Triathlon.

The Cervelo P5 Rival AXS 1 is a high-performance triathlon bike designed for athletes who want to maximize efficiency, aerodynamic performance, and control from the first mile to the finish line.

At Playtri Fort Walton Beach, we help cyclists and triathletes find the right equipment for their goals. The P5 is built around a fast, aerodynamic platform with an adjustable cockpit and triathlon-specific features that make it an exciting choice for serious training and racing.

Cervelo P5: A Bike Focused on Aerodynamic Performance

The Cervelo P5 was created with one purpose in mind: efficient speed.

Its aerodynamic frame and integrated front-end design help create a streamlined riding position, while the adjustable cockpit allows riders to fine-tune their setup around fit and position.

For a triathlete, small adjustments can make a major difference in comfort and efficiency during a long race. The P5 gives riders flexibility to create a position that works with their individual fit and riding style.

The current P5 platform also provides clearance for tires up to 34mm when paired with appropriate wheels, giving riders additional flexibility when selecting their setup.

Adjustable Cockpit for a Better Fit

One of the standout features of the P5 is its adjustable front-end system.

The one-piece front end is designed to simplify setup and adjustment while providing a broad range of positioning options. The riser allows the extensions to be adjusted through a range of angles, helping riders dial in their position.

For triathletes spending hours in the aero position, adjustability is especially important. A properly fitted position can help balance aerodynamic goals with comfort and sustainable power throughout a race.

At Playtri, our team can help you determine the setup that makes sense for your riding goals and fit.

Built for Triathlon

The P5 isn't simply a fast road bike adapted for racing. Its design incorporates features specifically useful for triathletes.

Integrated storage options provide practical solutions for carrying nutrition and other essentials during longer events. This can be particularly valuable for athletes preparing for half-distance and full-distance triathlons where nutrition management is an important part of race preparation.

The P5 platform is also available in a wider range of sizing, including a size 61, helping taller riders find a more appropriate fit.

SRAM Rival AXS Electronic Shifting

This P5 build features SRAM Rival AXS electronic shifting, providing wireless electronic shifting technology in a race-focused triathlon setup.

Electronic shifting allows riders to make gear changes quickly while maintaining their position on the bike. For triathletes navigating changing terrain, having predictable and precise shifting can help keep attention focused on maintaining a strong effort.

Bike specifications can vary by specific build and inventory, so contact Playtri Fort Walton Beach for current component details.
