Cervelo R2 review

Aug 2016 · Andy Waterman

The Cervelo R2 is supposed to be a sportive bike but we found the geometry and ride of this 105 equipped model screamed race bike.

Highs
  • Stiff and light

Lows
  • Not as comfortable as expected

Cervelo R2 105 review

May 2016 · Robin Wilmott

Superb performance and refined ride quality from a stunning frameset that deserves upgrading. Buy if you want a stunning chassis that won’t disappoint – and has much more to give

Highs
  • Frameset quality, performance potential

Lows
  • Sluggish rolling stock holds it back

May 2015 · Richard Windsor

Cervélo's first budget offering takes a lot of inspiration from its pricier predecessors - but can it live up to the all-round quality we've come to expect from the Canadian brand?

Highs
  • Superb carbon frame

  • Massive upgrade potential

  • Comfortable geometry

  • Genuine all-rounder

Lows
  • Wheels reliable but sluggish
