Cervelo R5 700c - Force AXS - Permafrost

What Goes Up Must Come Down

The Cervelo R5 is a masterfully engineered climbing bike designed to excel on summits while confidently carving through descents. Built to deliver unrivaled performance on the ascent and exceptional handling on the way down, this is the fourth iteration of the R5, evolving to be lighter, more aerodynamic, and finely tuned for real-world performance. The R5’s dedication to weight reduction, combined with optimized aerodynamics and superior stability, makes it the ultimate choice for riders aiming to conquer challenging terrain with speed and finesse.

Key Features:

• Lightweight Performance: The R5 frame is 130 grams lighter than previous models, a 16% reduction, enabling a faster and more responsive ride. Internal cable routing reduces drag by 25g, ensuring smoother aerodynamics without sacrificing the R5’s renowned handling.

• Reserve 34 | 37 TA Wheelset: Developed using Turbulent Aero technology, these wheels from Reserve offer stability and control in variable wind conditions. Lightweight and designed to perform, they enhance the R5’s climbing capability while providing confidence on technical descents.

• Enhanced Power Transfer and Control: With a stiff yet responsive frame design, the R5 balances power transfer with poise, enabling powerful pedaling without excessive harshness. Combined with SRAM’s integrated power meter, riders gain accurate, real-time data to optimize performance.

• Striking “Permafrost” Finish: The R5’s Permafrost color scheme combines a bold aesthetic with a low-weight finish, reflecting Cervelo’s commitment to style without compromise.
