Cervelo S5 Frameset

The S5 is engineered specifically to reduce drag, utilizing a refined V-stem and simplified fork design that slices through the air more efficiently than traditional road frames. This makes it an ideal choice for riders focused on high-speed racing and time-trial performance.

The S5 frameset is designed primarily for electronic shifting systems to maintain its clean, integrated aesthetic and internal cable routing. We recommend checking with your local bike shop to confirm compatibility if you are planning a custom build with a specific mechanical groupset.

The high-modulus carbon fiber used in the S5 is stiff enough to ensure immediate power transfer when you sprint, yet it remains compliant enough to handle the rigors of competitive road racing. It provides a responsive, precise feel that rewards aggressive riding styles.

Yes, the S5 is compatible with standard 700C wheels. However, to get the most out of the frame's aerodynamic profile, it is best paired with the co-developed wheel concept designed to enhance stability in turbulent wind conditions.

This frameset is built exclusively for disc brakes. This ensures consistent, reliable stopping power in all weather conditions, which is essential for the high speeds this bike is capable of reaching.

Yes, the S5 features a replaceable derailleur hanger. This is a practical design choice that allows for easy repairs or replacements if the hanger is damaged during a crash or transport.
