Gearing

A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.

Cervelo R5 review

Jan 2018 · Peter Stuart

Cervelo’s flagship steed gets a serious makeover, and the result is a fast and versatile World-class racer

Highs
  • Stiff

  • Light

  • Stunning and thoroughly well tuned for handling on descents and technical corners

Lows
  • A little more system integration of wheelsets and tyres could push this to the level of the world’s very best
