Cervelo R5 SRAM RED eTap AXS Kit

Embrace the ascent with the Cervélo R5, a true climbing specialist. While summit victories are celebrated, they're seldom the only uphill challenge on the route. And although races aren't typically decided on descents, they can certainly slip away. A climbing bike that can't navigate hairpin turns is like decaf coffee - missing a vital kick. This marks the fourth evolution of the R5, and while weight and stiffness have evolved over the years, its handling, composure, and unmatched downhill prowess have remained unwavering from the very beginning.

Speed is redefined in every direction with the all-new R5 frame, shedding 130 grams compared to its predecessor, a remarkable 16% reduction from an already feather-light frame. Although aerodynamics weren't the primary focus as they are with a Cervelo S5 or P5, the internal cable routing has slashed drag by 25g. With its ultra-minimal graphics and paint package, this frame becomes significantly lighter, allowing you to approach with stealth. The R5 strikes a perfect balance of stiffness, not too rigid, making it the Goldilocks of climbing bikes. It offers a poise, stability, and power transfer that feels "just right," keeping you fresh and prepared for the road that lies ahead.
