Climb Higher. Descend Faster. Dominate the Peloton.
The Cervélo R5 Disc Frameset is the ultimate platform for building a race-ready machine capable of conquering the steepest climbs, fastest sprints, and most technical descents. As the premier climbing bike in Cervélo’s lineup and the trusted weapon of Team Jumbo-Visma, the R5 has proven its mettle on cycling’s biggest stages, including the Tour de France.
With a feather-light frame weight of just 700 grams (15% lighter than the previous version) and a 330-gram fork (7% lighter), the R5 prioritizes low weight without compromising on stiffness, aerodynamics, or comfort. Whether you're chasing PRs on alpine ascents or leading the pack in a sprint, this frameset is your ticket to peak performance.
Key Features
- Optimized Geometry for Performance and Comfort: Lowered seatstay junction and a refined downtube design improve aerodynamics, vibration damping, and compliance without sacrificing the aggressive geometry needed for race-day performance.
- Aerodynamic Enhancements: The Squoval Max tube design blends rounded and rectangular tube profiles for improved wind resistance, weight reduction, and stiffness, making the R5 a weapon for both climbs and sprints.
- Precision Handling: Fork stiffness and dropped bottom bracket combine to provide exceptional stability and control at high speeds, ensuring confidence on descents and sharp turns.
- Improved Versatility: Increased tire clearance and up to 52mm of handlebar stack make the R5 adaptable to varying road conditions, from smooth tarmac to rough pavement.
- Comfort Meets Performance: More seat tube exposure enhances compliance for a smoother ride, making the R5 a perfect companion for long endurance days.
