WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN
R5 has one job - get to the top fast. But for all the glory and bluster that a summit finish brings, they're rarely the only climb of the day. And while a race isn't usually won on a descent, they can certainly be lost. A climbing bike that can't carve hairpin turns is a bit like a cup of decaf. This is the fourth iteration of the R5, and while the weight and stiffness have changed over the years, the handling, balance and unmatched downhill prowess have remained constant from day one.
FASTER IN EVERY DIRECTION
The new R5 frame is 130g lighter than the previous model - a reduction of 16% from an already lightweight frame. And while aerodynamics were not a focus with this frame, as they would be with an S5 or P5, the cables inside reduced drag by 25g.
DARKER THAN NIGHT, LIGHTER THAN AIR
The color black may absorb all light, but the Cervélo Five Black is anything but heavy. The ultra-minimal graphics and paint package results in a frame that's significantly lighter - they won't even see you coming.
LESS STIFF, BUT FAST
The R5 is stiff, but not too stiff - the Swiss army knife of climbing bikes, if you will. Balance, stability and a power transfer that feels "just right" and keeps you fresh and ready to conquer the road.
