Cervélo R5

The R5 is specifically engineered for climbing and technical descending. Its lightweight carbon frame and responsive geometry make it an ideal choice for mountainous terrain and hilly road races where efficiency on steep gradients and stability in corners are paramount.

Yes, the frame accommodates tires up to 34mm wide. While it comes stock with 26mm tires, you have the clearance to run wider rubber if you prefer more comfort or traction on less-than-perfect pavement.

The SRAM Red AXS crankset includes an integrated Quarq Zero power meter, which is pre-calibrated and ready to pair with your cycling computer via ANT+ or Bluetooth. It is designed to be low-maintenance and reliable, requiring only standard battery replacements over time.

The internal routing creates a clean aesthetic and reduces aerodynamic drag, but it does add complexity to cockpit adjustments. If you plan to swap your stem or handlebar frequently, expect a more involved process than you would find on a bike with external cabling.

Yes, the Reserve 34/37 aerodynamic wheelset is tubeless-ready. This setup allows you to run lower tire pressures for improved grip and puncture protection, which is a significant advantage on technical descents.

The bike is equipped with a 48/35T crankset and a 10-33T cassette. This gear range provides a low enough ratio to spin comfortably up steep pitches while still offering plenty of top-end speed for fast, flat sections and descents.
