Description
The Cervélo S5 Force AXS redefines what it means to be an aero road bike, bringing cutting-edge engineering and elite-level design to cyclists who crave speed, efficiency, and top-tier performance. Built for riders who won’t compromise on either aerodynamic advantage or ride quality, the S5 combines Cervélo’s industry-leading carbon frame with a suite of hand-picked components optimized for performance across the most demanding road conditions. Whether you’re pushing the pace in a WorldTour peloton or racing your local crit series, the S5 Force AXS is built to lead from the front.
At the heart of the bike lies the S5’s sculpted carbon frame, engineered with deep UCI-legal tube profiles and an asymmetric seat tube that improves airflow and structural balance. Cervélo’s commitment to aerodynamic innovation is seen in every angle and junction of this frame, minimizing drag without compromising stiffness or handling. Paired with the distinctive Bayonet fork and the fully integrated V-stem cockpit, the bike delivers unmatched aerodynamic performance with a clean, seamless profile. This one-piece V-stem not only contributes to the sleek appearance but also offers micro-adjustability for dialing in your ideal position, balancing fit, comfort, and maximum aero efficiency.
Complementing the frame is SRAM’s Force eTap AXS 12-speed wireless electronic drivetrain. Designed for modern road racing, Force AXS delivers rapid, precise shifting even under load, and the included power meter integrates effortlessly into your training and racing data ecosystem. Riders benefit from a full range of gearing with wide cassette options, helping them tackle steep climbs or accelerate on flat sprint finishes. The wireless design simplifies maintenance and creates a clean look that’s consistent with the S5’s aerodynamic ethos.
Wheel performance is crucial at high speeds, and the S5 delivers with Reserve’s Turbulent Aero 57/64 wheels, developed specifically to pair with the bike’s asymmetric frame design. These deep-section, tubeless-ready wheels offer exceptional stability in crosswinds and contribute significantly to the bike’s real-world aerodynamic gains. Vittoria Corsa Pro TLR 700x29c tires provide grip and suppleness for confident cornering and efficient rolling, and the frame can accommodate tires up to 34mm wide, adding versatility for rougher roads or longer events where comfort and speed go hand in hand.
Comfort is further enhanced by the inclusion of the Selle Italia Novus Boost EVO Superflow Ti saddle, designed for long rides and aggressive positioning. It reduces pressure on sensitive areas and supports riders through high-effort stints in the saddle. Meanwhile, Paceline rotors paired with SRAM Force HRD hydraulic disc brakes provide consistent, confident braking in all conditions—dry, wet, or technical descents—ensuring control is never compromised.
Every detail of the S5 Force AXS has been meticulously considered. The bike ships with the Smartpak 400A top tube bag for on-the-go nutrition or tool storage, a rear accessory mount, and an out-front computer/accessory mount designed to integrate cleanly with the cockpit. These accessories contribute to both functionality and aerodynamics, completing a package that’s ready to race out of the box.
Despite its aerodynamic depth, the S5 maintains a surprisingly light and agile ride feel. The carbon layup was engineered not just for stiffness but also to provide compliance where it matters most, smoothing road vibration and enhancing long-distance comfort. The S5 geometry remains aggressive and race-focused, keeping the rider in an optimized aero position while maintaining responsive handling for sprints, descents, and fast technical corners.
Ultimately, the Cervélo S5 Force AXS is a statement bike—built for riders who demand speed, who train hard, and who race to win. It represents the peak of Cervélo’s aerodynamic innovation and rider-focused design, merging performance, comfort, and cutting-edge tech into a single race-ready platform. For the rider who leads the breakaway, who hammers the flats, who drops the pack on the descent, this is your bike. Fast, stable, and relentlessly efficient, the S5 Force AXS doesn’t just set the standard—it is the standard.
