Cervelo R5 Road Frameset 2014

Cervelo R5 Road Frameset 2014

The new R5 introduces the Rca's frame profile to the R-series line-up. Light and stiff, the R5 now offers a 7.4 Watt aero advantage thanks to the Squoval 3 family of tube shapes. With a 9.5% stiffer bottom bracket compared to the last generation R5, this bike is perfect for acceleration, climbing or on the attack, while a 15% increase in torsional head tube stiffness offers improved handling.

The R5's new fork shape improves side stiffness and front compliance while maintaining aero performance. Future-proof cable routing is ready for mechanical, electronic and hydraulic, and a rear dropout cable exit provides a straight, low-friction path for rear derailleur cable routing.

Squoval 3

Stiff, light and now aero too.

Optimized Tapered Head Tube

Larger lower head tube dimensions offer an improvement in stiffness and handling. However, it is not as simple as 'bigger is always better'.

Ultra Thin Seat Stays

Shapes and materials can add stiffness where it counts. They can also be designed to take stiffness away from where you don't want it.
