Cervélo S5 2019 review

Oct 2019 · James Spender

Takes outlandish aero design to a new level and is incredibly fast and fun to ride, but not as nippy or well mannered as a true road bike

Highs
  • Supremely fast

  • Head turning appearance

  • Wide tyre clearance

  • Did we say supremely fast?

Lows
  • A touch skittish in corners

  • Suffers in crosswinds

  • Divisive looks

Cervélo S5 review

Apr 2019 · Benjamin Topf

Fans of classic frame shapes will probably struggle with the looks of Cervélo’s S5 model. And yet, the message is clear: ‘screw the rules, we want speed!’.

Highs
  • High level of integration

  • Very direct handling

  • Badass aero-look

Lows
  • Mismatched front/rear-end lateral-stiffness

  • Lack of comfort

For speed, handling and ride quality it’s a five-star bike, but price puts it out of reach for most. Buy if you want a taste of the future of aero bike design now, and you’ve got cash to spare

Highs
  • Rare combination of ride, handling and immense speed potential

Lows
  • Its looks may divide opinion

Cervelo S5 Disc first-ride review: Even faster, more refined - CyclingTips

Oct 2018 · Dave Everett

We’re now much closer to the end of the cycling season than the start, and for obvious reasons, most brands choose to launch their new bikes earlier in the year. The Tour de France was a cram-fest of new aero bikes from Cannondale, Specialized and Trek. So, for a brand to launch this late in […]
