Summary
The Cervélo Caledonia is a modern endurance road bike designed for versatility and performance, featuring engineered compliance, aggressive yet stable geometry, and clearance for up to 700c x 34mm tires. It's praised for its balanced handling, comfort on long rides, and practical touches like hidden fender mounts. However, its high price point and press-fit bottom bracket are noted drawbacks.

“For your big, stupid rides.”
BikerumorA wholly new model for 2021, the Caledonia is somewhat of a drop bar jack-of-all-trades that’s an oddly shaped peg for any existing hole.
Cycling TipsThe Caledonia is a fine-looking bike, with smooth lines, superb integration and details that improve the ride experience.

Endurance bike royalty now with 12-speed Ultegra Di2
Superbly balanced handling
Comfortable and quick
Doesn’t come cheap
Could be quicker with better tyres

Cervélo Caledonia-5 Dura Ace Di2 Disc or, "The bike for your big, stupid rides." as the manufacturer claims. During its presentation, the Caledonia-5 caused quite a stir and is an undeniable representative of a new generation of road bikes. Will that let it overcome the rest of the test field? We found out for you.
Decidedly high level of comfort
High efficiency on the flats
Comprehensive and high-end spec
Cleverly solved cable integration
No toe overlap
Limited sprightliness and precision in sporty situations
Comparatively loud ride

Six months into this long term test, it seems the Cervelo Caledonia-5 really could be the one bike to do it all
Stable handling
Integrated power meter
Holds flat-land speed appreciably well
Comfortable ride over all terrain
Slightly overweight
Not 100 per cent home-mechanic friendly

An in-depth review of Cervelo's new do-it-all road bike. Here we focus on the mid-priced version with fewer bells and whistles.
Tyre clearance, fender integration, aero design, fast geometry with a more relaxed fit, no toe overlap, Shimano Ultegra Di2 is hard to fault, stock 30 mm tyres, Di2 integration is neat with the mess inside the bars, integrated computer mount.
Press-fit bottom bracket shell, stiffer ride quality, basic wheels for the money, complete bike weight.

The Cervélo Caledonia-5 bridges the gap between performance and endurance superbly
Great looking
Great ride quality – both fast but comfortable
Wide tyres and good wheels
11-34 cassette won't be for everyone
Expensive compared to competitors
Oct 2020 · Stu Bowers
The bike most of us should ride, if we’re being honest with ourselves
Stable ride feel
Massive tyre clearance (even with mudguards)
Ample comfort
A touch heavy at this money

Big rides and rough roads call for a special bike. The Cervelo Caledonia 5 may have been built to tackle Roubaix, but it's just as capable for your ride
