Modern racer combines laser-guided handling, solid power transfer and smoothness. Buy if stunning all-rounder that’s more cost effective than its rivals

Highs
  • Superbly assured handling, rock-solid chassis and sublime ride quality

Lows

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
