CERVELO R5 ULTEGRA BIKE I

The Cervélo R5 has long been a favorite of Cervélo-sponsored pro riders.
The new R5 is stiffer, more aero, and fits better, three things pro racers
clamor for. It also has a unique place in the Cervélo lineup.

To be fair, all Cervélo’s now have a unique place. That’s because Cervélo
abandoned the idea that they should use a single geometry across their road
line. While the older idea had it’s place—you’d know that the same-size R-
and S- bikes would fit the same—it ignored the reality that the kinds of
riders going for these bikes were not only looking for different things,
but also expected the bike to fit differently. The R5 is a perfect example:
pro riders were sizing down with the R5 and were installing negative 17-
degree long stems to get into the position they wanted. That is no longer
necessary, as the R5 now has less stack and more reach than the previous
iteration.

There was much Cervélo was quite happy with in the R5 geometry, and most is
still here. There’s still the same 57mm of trail, the same head and seat
angles, the same bottom bracket drop. The stays have been extended to 410mm
to better fit 28mm wide tires. It’s still a stable, confident bike
