Pearson’s flagship Carbon Pro has been upgraded for 2009 with a stiffer front end.
The Carbon Pro’s steerer tube now tapers from 1 1/8″ at the stem to 1 1/2″ at the crown.
Moderately oversized chain stays help maintain rear end rigidity for the Pearson Carbon Pro.
The Pearson Pavé has been developed for long distance and sportive riding.
The Pavé still weighs just 1kg despite its relaxed position and lower price.
The Pearson Audax Pro is similar to the Pavé but is designed to take mudguards for a quality winter ride.
The Headrush is Pearson’s top time trial frame and has also been upgraded for 2009.
The Headrush’s aero seat tube hugs the rear wheel as close as it dares.
Shaped and contoured chain stays are fitted to the back end of Pearson’s Headrush.
Like most bike companies in the London area Pearson has a range of fixies, in this case built around the Touché frame.
The Pearson Touché + is built to allow for mudguards for wet weather fixie riding.
Steel aficionados can opt for Pearson’s Hanzo fixie frame.
At the top end of the Pearson fixie range is the full-carbon Cartouche.
Pearson claims its 2009 Carbon Pro range-topper is its stiffest yet thanks to a tapered steerer tube that widens to 1 1/2” at the fork crown. Though the front of the bike is as rigid as possible, Pearson says the curves on the frame’s main triangle still provide enough flex and damp enough road vibration to make the ride comfortable. Claimed weight for a 54cm frame is sub-1kg.

Also new for ’09 is a dedicated sportive machine called the Pavé. In keeping with other bikes in the segment, Pearson says the Pavé aims to combine light weight, stiffness and comfort with features such as a longer head tube for a more comfortable position.
Similar to the Pavé, but with different chain stays and clearance for mudguards is the Audax Pro. The frame is designed for either a tourer who wants a high performance bike, or a racer who wants to do his winter training on a quality carbon frame.

As a company based in the London area, Pearson naturally has a range of fixed wheel frames; currently the preferred way to get around the British capital. These fixies are based on the aluminium Touché, but also come in steel and carbon.
