The new aero updated Cervélo S5 is a true racing machine and I feel it's 10 times better than the previous version

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
Supremely fast
Head turning appearance
Wide tyre clearance
Did we say supremely fast?
A touch skittish in corners
Suffers in crosswinds
Divisive looks

Superfast, cutting-edge aero road bike that's a more comfortable ride than you might expect
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!’.
High level of integration
Very direct handling
Badass aero-look
Mismatched front/rear-end lateral-stiffness
Lack of comfort

From Spanish roads to the routes of home with the fast Cervélo S5 aero bike
Oct 2018 · Warren Rossiter
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
Rare combination of ride, handling and immense speed potential
