Cervelo R5 Force AXS Road Bike 2023 The Cervélo R5 has one clear mission-;climbing fast. While summit finishes get all the attention, they’re rarely the only challenge in a race. Winning on a descent may not be common, but losing on one certainly is. A climbing bike that can’t handle technical corners is like a decaf coffee-;it just misses the point. Now in its fourth generation, the R5 has seen weight and stiffness adjustments over the years, but its exceptional handling and confident descent performance have remained unmatched since its inception. The new R5 frame is 130g lighter than the previous model, representing a 16% reduction from an already lightweight frame. While this frame isn’t designed with the same aerodynamic focus as Cervélo’s S5 or P5, the integration of internal cabling has still reduced drag by 25g, offering a cleaner, faster ride. The R5 strikes the perfect balance between stiffness and comfort. It’s the “Goldilocks” of climbing bikes, offering enough stiffness to ensure efficient power transfer while maintaining poise and stability. The result is a bike that keeps you fresh and ready to tackle whatever the road throws at you. The Red and Force builds come equipped with Quarq Zero powermeters, seamlessly integrated into the crank. This direct integration offers improved stiffness, lighter weight, and greater accuracy compared to aftermarket options. The DZero powermeter measures power with a precision of +/- 1.5%, even in changing temperatures. With its lighter frame, refined handling, and advanced power integration, the Cervélo R5 remains a top road bike choice for riders seeking the ultimate climbing performance, while still excelling on technical descents.
