Cervelo R5 Force AXS Road Bike 2024

Cervelo R5 Force AXS Road Bike 2023 The Cervélo R5 has one clear mission-;climbing fast. While summit finishes get all the attention; they’re rarely the only challenge in a race. Winning on a descent may not be common; but losing on one certainly is. A climbing bike that can’t handle technical corners is like a decaf coffee-;it just misses the point. Now in its fourth generation; the R5 has seen weight and stiffness adjustments over the years; but its exceptional handling and confident descent performance have remained unmatched since its inception. The new R5 frame is 130g lighter than the previous model; representing a 16% reduction from an already lightweight frame. While this frame isn’t designed with the same aerodynamic focus as Cervélo’s S5 or P5; the integration of internal cabling has still reduced drag by 25g; offering a cleaner; faster ride. The R5 strikes the perfect balance between stiffness and comfort. It’s the “Goldilocks” of climbing bikes; offering enough stiffness to ensure efficient power transfer while maintaining poise and stability. The result is a bike that keeps you fresh and ready to tackle whatever the road throws at you. The Red and Force builds come equipped with Quarq Zero powermeters; seamlessly integrated into the crank. This direct integration offers improved stiffness; lighter weight; and greater accuracy compared to aftermarket options. The DZero powermeter measures power with a precision of +/- 1.5%; even in changing temperatures. With its lighter frame; refined handling; and advanced power integration; the Cervélo R5 remains a top choice for riders seeking the ultimate climbing performance; while still excelling on technical descents.
