No matter which you pick

Every SP comes with…

1,250g T700 carbon frame

Hand-laid Toray T700 carbon — the same material used in pro tri bikes costing $10K+. Designed by Kevin Quan, the engineer behind the Cervélo P-Series.

SAGS adjustable cockpit

The most adjustable triathlon cockpit available — 140mm of fore/aft range fits riders short to tall without giving up aero position. Free size exchanges if you need to swap.

Lifetime frame warranty

Lifetime coverage on the frame, honored directly by us — never routed through a dealer. Free crash replacement if you damage your frame in an accident.

Ships 92% assembled

Most riders ride within the hour. The real work is the seatpost, cockpit, and brake dial-in — a video guide walks you through it. Prefer to skip it? A local shop finishes the build for $50–150.

No need to pay all at once

Before you decide

Common questions

Kevin Quan designed both. The SP is the direct-to-consumer evolution of that design philosophy at a lower price point. Cervélo has more brand prestige and a dealer network; we have direct support and free crash replacement. For most athletes, the SP delivers the same race-day performance at a fraction of the cost.

We offer free size exchanges with no time limit on the offer — if the frame size isn't right, we'll get you the correct one. Between the sizing tool, the quiz, and the SAGS cockpit's 140mm of adjustability, most riders dial in their fit on the first try.

The bike arrives 92% assembled. You'll install the seatpost, attach the cockpit, and adjust the brakes — the headset and stem are the fiddly parts, so take your time with the torque wrench in the box. Most riders finish in under an hour with the included video guide. If you'd rather skip the work, most local bike shops will do the final assembly for $50–150.

Yes. The SP accepts standard 12-speed wheelsets, so many owners add deeper aero wheels for race day. The Force AXS already ships with Zipp 404s and the Red AXS with Zipp 808s; the 105 and Rival are easy to upgrade when you're ready.

Standard ground shipping is $99 and typically takes 3–5 business days from order to arrival in the lower 48. You'll get tracking as soon as your build ships.

Any SP frame purchased directly from A2 is covered by our Crash Replacement Policy: if you damage it in an accident, we replace the frame at no additional cost. Contact our support team to file a claim and we'll walk you through it.
