Built here with SRAM's Rival eTap AXS HRD Disc 2x drivetrain, this Cervelo Caledonia-5 bike is sleek and incredibly capable while maintaining a great price point despite the high-grade carbon frameset. The pure road cycling world is evolving, and while there will always be a true race bike that is super light, fast, and quick-handling, the modern road bike requires capability for larger tires, and more stability- but still have moderately fast handling, power transfer and efficiency. This modern road bike shrugs at notorious urban roads, cobbles, chip seal, and floats over the smoothest pavement. Enter the Caledonia-5, an exemplar of Cervelo's understanding that super fast handling isn’t always better, and the how the company is evolving toward bike designs with overall development informed by specific needs. The inspiration was the multi-surface Paris-Roubaix, the Spring Classic race that is brutal on bikes and riders, with zero margin for error. The engineers increased the rear center, lowered the BB, and increased the trail while adding tire volume space and better rough surface deflection. Relatively speaking the handling is still fast enough to be corner and descent-friendly but with added rougher-surface stability. The is a design that is versatile and well mannered.
This is a pure endurance race bike, unlike the previous C-Series endurance options, which were great bikes with more relaxed geometry, and greater comfort. Caledonia-5 is race-bred, with much more riding versatility than a Grand Tour ready design. With capacity for 34mm tires (31mm with fenders), the more stable handling, disc-only frameset has different overall geometry numbers but Stack and Reach the same as an R-Series. The frame design and cockpit set-up allow for most cyclists a reasonable fit, and unlike with the older R5/R3 geometry differences, both Caledonia frame-level options share the same geometry. Combined with the detailed knowledge gained from the Aspero design process, the engineers developed a great balance of speed, comfort, clearance and handling while maintaining the aesthetic cleanliness Cervelo's riders demand. You know it’s going to be more aero because there’s nothing interrupting the flow of air over the front end. ... Read More
