CeramicSpeed BB ALPHA Bottom Bracket — BBright Shimano Road

<section class="product-content">
  <div class="product-intro">
    <p>
      A bottom bracket built to outlast your frame. The CeramicSpeed BB ALPHA adapts a
      24 mm Shimano road crank into Cervélo's BBright press-fit shell, delivering the
      lowest-friction, longest-lasting bottom bracket CeramicSpeed has ever made —
      so you can keep your Shimano crankset on a wider asymmetric BB.

    <h2>Why riders choose BB ALPHA</h2>

    <div class="product-feature">
      <h3>Grade-3 Silicon Nitride ceramic balls in hardened stainless-steel races</h3>
      <p>
        Standard BBright adapters develop drag and creak after a single wet season,
        so you end up replacing them every year and losing watts in between.
      </p>
      <p>
        The hand-built ceramic bearing system runs ultra-smooth from day one and
        stays smooth for the life of the frame — you feel less resistance on every
        pedal stroke and stop budgeting for a yearly bottom bracket swap.
      </p>
    </div>

    <div class="product-feature">
      <h3>Custom seals with 500% better moisture protection</h3>
      <p>
        The wider BBright shell traps moisture more than narrow standards — water
        gets past the seal and the bearing rusts from the inside.
      </p>
      <p>
        The redesigned BB ALPHA seal blocks moisture and contamination dramatically
        better than previous generations, so the bearing keeps spinning quiet and
        free through winter training, gravel detours, and every post-ride hose-down.
      </p>
    </div>

    <div class="product-feature">
      <h3>Simplified spacer tube + lighter cups, 10% lighter overall</h3>
      <p>
        Old-style adapters needed a bag of spacers and a service manual to install
        correctly into BBright's 79 mm shell, and the cups added grams in the worst
        place on the bike.
      </p>
      <p>
        The new design installs in minutes with fewer parts to lose, and you save
        weight right at the bottom of the drivetrain where it matters for
        acceleration and climbing response.
      </p>
    </div>

    <div class="product-feature">
      <h3>Custom dust covers refined through 28 design iterations</h3>
      <p>
        Cheap dust covers pop loose, rattle, or let dirt in — and BBright shells are
        notorious for creaking when not perfectly fitted.
      </p>
      <p>
        The fitment-optimized covers stay seated and sealed under real road and race
        use, so the bearing stays clean and you don't hear any creaks or ticks coming
        from the BB shell.
      </p>
    </div>

    <div class="product-feature">
      <h3>Lifetime warranty</h3>
      <p>
        CeramicSpeed backs every BB ALPHA for life. You install it once and you're
        done.

    <h2>Is BBright right for your frame?</h2>
    <p>
      BBright is Cervélo's wider asymmetric press-fit standard, found on most modern
      Cervélo road and tri frames including the S5, R5, P5, Caledonia, and Áspero.
    </p>
    <p>
      If your frame is a Cervélo from the last decade, BBright is almost certainly
      your shell.
