Product Details
The Cervélo R5-CX eTap AXS is the ultimate cyclocross weapon, born from the demands of World Championships and designed with insights from legends like Marianne Vos, Wout van Aert, and Fem van Empel. With a pedigree that includes commanding victories at Waterloo and Iowa and back-to-back World Championship wins in 2023 and 2024, the R5-CX stands as a testament to its race-winning capability. Whether you’re chasing podiums or pushing your limits, this bike delivers unmatched performance and precision for the harshest cyclocross courses.
Inspired by Cervélo’s acclaimed R5 road bike, the R5-CX has been reimagined to meet the specific demands of cyclocross racing. Its unique geometry, shaped by feedback from Vos and van Aert, provides optimal handling and fit for technical courses. The asymmetric BBRight bottom bracket design has been updated with a T47 threaded shell, offering durability and compatibility with standard inboard and outboard T47 cups. This innovation ensures maximum power transfer and reliability, even in the most punishing conditions.
Engineered for durability and functionality, the R5-CX features a D-shaped seatpost with double clamps, a thoughtful touch requested by pro riders to keep the saddle perfectly aligned after a crash. Internal cable routing enhances the bike’s sleek design while protecting against water and mud ingress, ensuring dependable performance. The frame is exclusively compatible with electronic drivetrains, chosen for their precision and reliability in challenging environments. Ample tire clearance accommodates muddy conditions, making the R5-CX ready for any course.
With its race-focused design, the R5-CX is more than just a bike; it’s a tool for victory. Available in four sizes—51, 54, 56, and 58cm—it caters to riders of all builds, delivering the fit and performance needed to excel. From the world’s most competitive cyclocross circuits to your local races, the Cervélo R5-CX eTap AXS is the bike that takes every detail seriously, helping you cross the finish line faster.
