Description
The R5 is premium race frameset and here it has been built with Shimano's 12-Speed R8170 Di2 groupset as a more accessible price point. The shifters are wireless, making life easier for full integrated cockpit routing. Shimano found that a seatpost battery was still the best option for powering the front and rear derailleurs, so the rear is still wired. With the fastest, most precise and most reliable shifting system and advanced hydraulic disc braking, this 2023 Cervelo R5 Ultegra R8170 Di2 Bicycle will deliver you to the front with unassailable efficiency.
The Cervelo R5 has long been the all-around and mountains-oriented road race bike that complemented the company's more aerodynamic S5. Few bike concepts have been as well received in World Tour racing and with serious cycling enthusiasts as the R5, and an intimate connection between the R5 and its riders means Cervelo truly listens when they offer feedback. By using incredibly sensitive, detailed topology studies of the frameset, the venerable engineers at Cervelo definitively identified how, where, and which carbon choices could be applied in the lay-up process to optimize weight and ride quality without sacrificing stiffness or overall efficiency. As such, Cervelo developed this current R5, which had first been seen in grand tours in 2021. Lighter, more compliant, with greater stability, increased aerodynamic efficiency and better fit/set-up concepts, this R5 frameset has impressive tire clearance while maintaining the same essential geometry and handing. The numbers differ from the last gen, but only to accommodate the updated design and larger tire capability. This bike features a 700 gram frameset in a 56cm (15% lighter) that is ready to race and ride everyday.
The previous R5 was built to seriously improve power transfer, deliver a pro race geometry, and be as efficient as possible in a non-aero bike. Cyclists loved the geometry, power transfer, and handling characteristics, but longed for it to be a bit lighter and more forgiving. The massive Squoval™Max downtube delivered the lateral and drivetrain stiffness required, but added some weight and impacted vertical compliance. Topology studies led to a refined carbon layup schedule, new downtube and headtube, along with fork crown and housing integration. The seatstays and upper rear triangle junction was also changed to lower the seattube/toptube junction, allowing for more exposed seatpost length- which aids in increasing vertical and ride compliance....
