Cervélo R5

The R5 is purpose-built for climbing. Its lightweight carbon frame and aggressive geometry are engineered specifically to maximize power transfer on steep gradients and provide precise, stable handling on technical descents.

Yes, it is equipped with a Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupset. This electronic system provides consistent, precise gear changes even when you are under heavy load during a climb or sprint.

Yes, the R5 features tubeless-ready wheels. This allows you to run lower tire pressures for improved grip, comfort, and puncture protection, which is particularly beneficial on long, rough rides.

The geometry is designed for racing, meaning it puts you in a more efficient, aerodynamic position. While this makes the bike highly responsive and quick to handle, it is less upright than an endurance bike, so expect a more focused, performance-oriented ride.

The Cervélo R5 weighs approximately 15.4 lbs. This low weight is a key factor in its climbing efficiency and responsiveness.

Yes, the R5 utilizes integrated cabling. This not only cleans up the bike's aesthetic but also provides a slight aerodynamic advantage by hiding the brake and shifter lines from the wind.
