On their road bikes, Cervelo offers excellent drivetrain responses and a smooth ride with good bike geometry. While the price range is not the lowest, most would agree they’re worth the money, with the base model of Cervelo road bikes starting at $3,200 and the top models retailing at a whopping $13,000.

Ultimately, the Cervélo R3 is more comfortable and less harsh than the Cervélo R5 but doesn't lose the lightening handling that makes it such good fun to ride. It is more sluggish though, and it's hampered by its budget wheels and tyres.
