Summary

The Cervélo Caledonia is a modern endurance road bike designed for versatility, combining aggressive geometry with stability enhancements and clearance for up to 700c x 34mm tires. It offers a smooth ride quality, engineered compliance through tube shapes, and is praised for its brilliantly balanced handling and fun, lively feel. However, it faces criticism for its high price point and some budget-focused components in higher-end builds.

  • Clearance for up to 700c x 34mm tires

  • Brilliantly balanced handling

  • Aggressive geometry with stability enhancements

  • Smooth ride quality

Cons
  • High price point for complete builds

  • Press-fit bottom bracket shell

  • Some budget-focused components for the price

“For your big, stupid rides.”
Bikerumor logoBikerumor
A 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.

The Caledonia is everything a great endurance bike should be.
