Summary
The Cervélo S5 is celebrated for its unmatched straight-line speed and aerodynamic efficiency, making it a top choice for competitive racing. While it excels in performance with a stiff and efficient ride, some reviews note a lack of comfort and excitement in handling. Updates like a lighter frame and aero-optimized components have been well-received, though the bike's ride quality remains polarizing.
Unmatched straight-line speed
Aero cockpit you can adjust
Much lighter than its predecessor
Supremely aerodynamic
Simple and aero-optimised setup
Vertical seat post is not comfortable
Handling isn't overly exciting
Lacks joy in riding experience
Stiff and unforgiving ride quality
The Cervélo S5 is sickeningly fast.
Maxim Van Gils was clearly interested in the new S5's weight, and he was certainly not saying it feels heavy.
There are only a few riders in the modern peloton as versatile as Pauline Ferrand-Prévot.

The new 2025 Cervélo S5 puts the spotlight firmly back on pure aerodynamics. – but can Cervélo really deliver on their promise of ultimate speed?
High efficiency
Calm and balanced handling
Surprisingly comfortable for an aero bike
Seatpost clamp caused issues during testing
Too much flex in the cockpit

Did you expect an aero powerhouse like the Cervélo S5 to see SRAM XPLR as the top spec build?
