Product Details
The Cervélo R5 SRAM RED eTap AXS 2025 is built for one purpose: getting you to the top—fast. But climbs don’t happen in isolation, and what goes up must come down. Now in its fourth generation, the R5 is still all about balanced handling and confident descending, with improved weight savings and subtle aerodynamic gains. The new frame is 130 grams lighter than the previous model, while internal cable routing cuts drag by 25 grams, keeping it fast even when aero wasn’t the primary goal.
This isn’t just a climbing bike, it’s a full-package race machine. The Five Black colorway adds stealthy speed with an ultra-minimal paint job that shaves even more grams. A refined stiffness profile delivers the “just right” ride feel, offering power transfer and comfort in equal measure. Paired with the Reserve 34|37 TA wheelset, engineered with real-world aerodynamics and Quarq power integration, the R5 is as ready for race day as you are.
Key Features:
- Ultra-Light Frame – 130g lighter than the previous R5, with internal cable routing to reduce drag by 25g.
- SRAM Red AXS, 12-speed Drivetrain – For flawless, high performance electronic shifting.
- Turbulent Aero Wheelset – Reserve 34|37 TA wheels offer real-world aerodynamic performance and high-speed stability.
- Integrated Power Meter – Quarq Zero power meter provides accurate, lightweight, built-in power tracking.
