Cervelo R5 700c - Ultegra Di2 - Five Black

What Goes Up Must Come Down

The Cervelo R5 is engineered to be the ultimate climbing machine, focused on reaching summits quickly and handling descents with precision. Cervelo’s fourth iteration of the R5 is crafted with an emphasis on weight reduction, control, and aerodynamic efficiency, making it an unbeatable choice for competitive riders who take on challenging climbs and fast descents. For those who want a bike that excels in both climbing and descending, the R5 delivers unmatched performance.

Key Features:

• Lighter Frame for Faster Climbs: The R5 frame has been trimmed by 130 grams, a 16% reduction, ensuring a lighter, more agile ride. Cables are routed internally, reducing drag by 25g without compromising aerodynamics—a subtle advantage that becomes a big one on long rides.

• Reserve 34 | 37 TA Wheelset: Cervelo’s new Turbulent Aero wheels, developed in collaboration with Reserve, replicate real-world wind conditions to improve stability and handling in varied weather. These wheels provide confidence and control, even on windy descents, without sacrificing speed or stiffness.

• Refined Power Transfer: Engineered with just the right amount of stiffness, the R5 provides exceptional power transfer that’s firm yet forgiving—ideal for conquering relentless climbs and maintaining control on technical descents.

• Stealthy and Lightweight Design: The “Five Black” color scheme minimizes paint weight, resulting in a strikingly lightweight frame that merges performance with understated style.
