For This Bike
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.
Stiff and light
Not as comfortable as expected
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
Frameset quality, performance potential
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?
Superb carbon frame
Massive upgrade potential
Comfortable geometry
Genuine all-rounder
Wheels reliable but sluggish
