Cervelo S5

The S5 is purpose-built for aerodynamic efficiency and pure speed. Unlike all-rounder road bikes, it features a unique frame geometry and integrated components—like the one-piece handlebar and stem—specifically designed to cheat the wind and maximize power transfer for competitive riding.

Yes, the S5 is equipped with a SRAM Red AXS crankset that includes an integrated power meter. This allows you to track your performance metrics and power output directly from the bike without needing to purchase or install additional sensors.

Yes, the Reserve 57TA and 64TA wheelset is tubeless-compatible. The bike comes fitted with Vittoria Corsa Pro TLR tires, which are also tubeless-ready, allowing you to easily set them up for lower rolling resistance and better puncture protection.

The one-piece carbon handlebar and stem system is designed for maximum aerodynamic gains, which limits some adjustability compared to a traditional two-piece setup. While you can adjust the angle, you cannot swap the stem length independently of the handlebar, so it is important to ensure the bike fit is correct for your reach and stack requirements.

While the S5 is optimized for flat-out speed, this latest iteration is significantly lighter than its predecessor. It remains a capable climber, though its primary strength is maintaining momentum and efficiency on rolling terrain rather than being a dedicated lightweight climbing bike.

The S5 uses the SRAM Red AXS electronic shifting system. This 12-speed wireless setup provides precise, rapid gear changes and eliminates the need for physical cables, resulting in a cleaner aesthetic and reduced maintenance.
