Cervélo R5

The R5 is a dedicated race machine. Its geometry is aggressive and focused on handling precision, making it best suited for riders who prioritize speed, climbing efficiency, and technical descending over long-distance comfort.

The R5 offers a tire clearance of up to 34 mm. This provides enough versatility to run slightly wider tires for better grip and comfort on rougher road surfaces without sacrificing the bike's aerodynamic profile.

Yes, the wheelset is tubeless-ready. This allows you to easily convert to a tubeless setup, which helps reduce the risk of flats and allows you to run lower tire pressures for improved traction and ride quality.

The SRAM RED XPLR AXS groupset provides precise, wireless electronic shifting with a 13-speed drivetrain. While XPLR is often associated with gravel, its wide range and 46-tooth largest cog make it an excellent choice for riders who tackle steep, varied terrain and want a simple, reliable 1x setup.

Yes, the R5 features integrated cabling. This design keeps the cockpit clean and improves aerodynamics, though it does require a bit more attention during maintenance or when adjusting your fit.

The complete build weighs in at 15.2 lbs. This ultralight construction is a key feature of the R5, specifically engineered to help you maintain speed and efficiency on the most demanding climbs.
