Cervélo R5-CX Force eTap AXS

The Cervélo R5-CX Force eTap AXS is a cyclocross marvel, blending precision engineering with race-proven features to create the ultimate off-road machine. Drawing inspiration from the legendary R5 road bike, the R5-CX takes performance to the next level with design tweaks informed by world-class athletes like Marianne Vos and Wout van Aert. This bike is built for the rigors of cyclocross, excelling in speed, handling, and durability, while showcasing Cervélo’s relentless pursuit of perfection.

At its core is the Cervélo All-Carbon R5-CX frame and fork, optimized for stiffness, lightweight performance, and unmatched responsiveness. The tapered head tube ensures precise steering, while the oversized bottom bracket area improves power transfer, allowing you to dominate steep climbs and sprint finishes. The fully internal cable routing maintains clean aesthetics and limits water or debris ingress, critical for muddy cyclocross courses. The R5-CX is designed exclusively for electronic drivetrains, such as the SRAM Force eTap AXS 12-speed system, ensuring flawless shifts even in the most demanding conditions.

Top-tier components further elevate this bike’s performance. The SRAM Force 1 AXS crankset with an integrated power meter and 40T chainring delivers reliable pedaling efficiency. Paired with the Reserve carbon wheels and tubeless-ready Panaracer CGCX TLC 700x33c tires, the R5-CX offers maximum traction and control across varied terrain. SRAM Force hydraulic disc brakes provide consistent stopping power, even in wet and muddy scenarios. Additional highlights include the Selle Italia Flite Boost SuperFlow saddle for superior comfort and the Cervélo SP24 carbon seatpost, featuring dual clamps to keep the saddle securely positioned.

From World Cup races to local cyclocross circuits, the Cervélo R5-CX Force eTap AXS is built to win. With its exceptional handling, innovative design, and premium components, it’s the bike of choice for those who refuse to settle for second place.
