Fast and stiff with great handling but not the smoothest ride

Cervelo’s flagship steed gets a serious makeover, and the result is a fast and versatile World-class racer
Stiff
Light
Stunning and thoroughly well tuned for handling on descents and technical corners
A little more system integration of wheelsets and tyres could push this to the level of the world’s very best

Cervelo has one of the best-handling bikes on the market with surprising stiffness and pedaling response plus powerful disc brakes.

Cervelo's new road offering comes in rim brake and disc brake versions. The R5 has remarkably good handling and is a great all-around race bike.

The R series Cervélo that’s not built to win a weight war, but will win the hearts of those privileged enough to experience its ride charms
