Cervelo R2 105 Road Bike 2015

With the Cervelo R2 105 Road Bike you feel the benefits of extreme light weight engineering with no compromise in stiffness, strength or comfort. You’ll search out hard hills not only to feel the light weight on the climbs, but also the speed and control on the descent. The result is an understated design that allows performance to make the statement.

The R2 105 Road Bike gives a settled ride that allows you to feel the road while minimizing rough road feedback. Comfort is magnified with the ultra-thin seat stays developed to increase vertical compliance and vibration absorption for a smooth ride.

Despite being built to be light, you won’t feel the need to treat it gently. With Squoval™ tube shapes and BBright™ technology, the R2 withstands the all-out sprints and hardest attacks with minimum flex that means no flinching over potholes and gravel roads. It also gives you the launch power to chase down a break or pull away in a sprint, the stability for effortless straight-line handling and precise speed through the tightest corners

The R2 105 Road bike showcases Cervélo’s Squoval tube shapes, Evolved Steerer Design, Carbon Dropouts, Future-Proof Cable Management, Reduced Friction BB guide, and BBright™ Core Design all designed to enhance stiffness where it matters for better handling and power transmission whilst reducing excess weight, for optimum lightness and comfort.

Employing much of the leading-edge technology and engineering found through out the rest of the R series, the R2 is a bike that performs up to the standards of professional level riders and is outfitted for practicality and durability. Using the same frame as the R3, the R2 is lighter than the competition and far more aerodynamic.

Future-Proof Cable Management ensures your frame is compatible with all current and future derailleur and brake systems meaning that your R2 will work with any future upgrades whilst tough, compression-molded Carbon Dropouts save weight with no sacrifice in strength versus traditional metal dropouts.

With this much value in one bike, it is time to step up to pro-level performance.
