Cervelo R5 Red AXS Road Bike 2025
The Cervelo R5 Red AXS Road Bike is engineered to excel in climbing, designed for riders who demand speed and efficiency on every ascent. While the summit may be the ultimate goal, the R5 acknowledges the importance of tackling multiple climbs and descents along the way. With its superior handling, this bike ensures that no race is lost on the way down. Now in its fourth iteration, the R5 maintains its reputation for balancing lightweight construction, stiffness, and precise control, offering exceptional performance on every descent.
The latest R5 frame is 130 grams lighter than the previous version, a significant 16% reduction. Although aerodynamics weren’t a primary focus—unlike the S5 or P5—internal cable routing has been integrated, reducing drag by 25 grams to boost overall efficiency.
