Overview

About this bike

The R5 makes no compromises as an ultralight race machine first and foremost. Team Dimension Data’s World Tour riders also praise its new pro fit, stable and responsive handling, and unrivaled stiffness. No wonder Bernie Eisel calls it “the perfect bike for stage racing,” with Omar Fraile demonstrating as much by powering it to glory in the 100th Giro d’Italia. This R5 component lineup includes Shimano's Ultegra 8000 drivetrain offering stress-free operation, Mavic Ksyrium Black wheelset, and Cervelo's high-quality seatpost, handlebar, and stem. The R5 sets new benchmarks for performance, usability, and confidence-boosting control. Features: - BBright: This asymmetrical 79mm bottom bracket standard yields stiffer and lighter frames and crank systems - Future-proof cable management: Ensures your frame is compatible with all current and future derailleur and brake systems - Carbon dropouts: Tough, compression molded dropouts save weight with no sacrifice in strength compared to traditional metal dropouts - Unique aero seatpost: D-shaped seatpost promotes compliance, and performance-enhancing comfort, without changing the distance between the saddle and the pedals - Evolved steerer design: Applies the diameters and taper designs that best suit each model for precision steering - Reduced-friction BB guide: Significantly reduces cable friction in the bottom bracket, which means smoother shifting, easier setup and longer service intervals - Squoval tube shapes: Ultra-light shapes allow Cervelo engineers to "dial in" the weight-saving, aero, stiffness, and compliance properties that best suit specific areas of a frame
