Cervelo S3 Disc

Feb 2018 · Rupert Radley

The Cervélo S3 Disc is claimed to be better than the rim-brake version in pretty much every way. Most importantly, the loss of the rim brake calipers has resulted in a claimed saving of two watts over the standard model

Highs
  • Looks

  • Handling

  • Speed and stiffness

  • Enve wheels

Lows
  • Struggles on value

  • Areas of the spec feel skimped on

  • Rigidity in the frame

Cervelo S3 Disc review

Nov 2017 · Laura Scott

Ultimately if you are looking for a fast, responsive bike with the reassurance of disc brakes, the Cervélo S3 Disc is a fantastic option

Highs
  • A fast responsive ride

  • And Cervelo has clearly put a lot of consideration into how to add disc brakes without compromising on aerodynamics

Lows
  • The price tag

Cervelo S3 Disc

May 2017 · William Tracy

Cervelo’s S3d is a purebred race machine that compels you to shift into a harder gear, fold into an aero tuck, and go faster.
