Description
The R5 is a legendary bike. From the mythical R5CA, capable of breaking every limit, to Wout van Aert's historic victory on Mont Ventoux, this bike has been an integral part of Cervélo's history for over twenty years. The new R5 is an incredibly lightweight road bike — below 6 kg in RED and Dura-Ace builds — yet rigid enough to compete at the highest levels of modern professional cycling, as Pauline Ferrand-Prevot proved when she guided it to victory at the Tour de France Femmes this summer. These days, building a lightweight bike is relatively simple. The real challenge is creating one that combines lightness with the rigidity needed to transfer all the power of the sport's champions to the ground. Designed for the big mountain stages of the Tour de France and the steep, demanding climbs of the Vuelta a España, the R5 excels both uphill and downhill. A bike designed for climbing must be able to accelerate sharply, climb efficiently, and also deliver safety and predictability on descents. Although the UCI imposes a minimum weight of 6.8 kg for Pro races, we "mere mortals" can get the maximum advantage from having the lightest road bike on the market at our disposal.
