CerveloR5 Dura-Ace Di2 - Five Black - 54

R5 has one job—get to the top, fast. But for all the glory and fanfare that comes with a summit finish, they’re rarely the only climb of the day. And while a race isn’t usually won on a descent, they can certainly be lost. A climbing bike that can’t carve a hairpin is a bit like a cup of decaf coffee. This is the fourth iteration of the R5, and while weight and stiffness have varied over the years, the handling, poise, and unmatched prowess on a descent have been consistent since day one. The new R5 frame is 130g lighter than the previous model—a 16% reduction from an already-light frame. And while aerodynamics weren’t a focus with this frame the way they would be on an S5 or P5, bringing the cables inside reduced drag by 25g. <strong>SPECS:</strong> <strong>Frame</strong> Cervelo Carbon <strong>Fork</strong> Cervélo All-Carbon, Tapered R5 Fork <strong>Rims/Wheels</strong> Reserve 34/37, 23mm IW <strong>Hubs</strong> Zipp ZR1 SS, 24H, centerlock <strong>Spokes</strong> N/A <strong>Tires</strong> <div> <div>Vittoria Corsa Pro TLR blk-blk G2.0 OEM 700x26c</div> </div> <strong>Crankset</strong> <div> <div>Shimano Dura Ace, R9200, 52/36T, 12 Speed</div> </div> <strong>Chainrings</strong> <div> <div>Shimano Dura Ace, R9200, 52/36T, 12 Speed</div> </div> <strong>Bottom Bracket</strong> <div> <div>Ceramic Speed, BBright for 24mm spindle</div> </div> <strong>Chain</strong> Shimano M9100, 12 speed <strong>Front Derailleur</strong> <div> <div>Shimano Dura Ace, R9250, 12 speed, Direct Mount</div> </div> <strong>Rear Derailleur</strong> Shimano Dura Ace, R9250, 12 speed <strong>Cassette/Rear Cogs</strong> Shimano Dura-Ace, 11-30, 12 Speed <strong>Shifters</strong> Shimano Dura Ace, R9270, 12 speed <strong>Handlebars</strong> <div> <div>Cervélo HB13 Carbon, 31.8mm clamp</div> </div> <strong>Stem</strong> Cervélo ST31 Carbon <strong>Brakes</strong> Shimano Dura Ace, R9270, 12 speed <strong>Pedals</strong> N/A <strong>Saddle</strong> Prologo Scratch M5 Nack <td data-sheets-value='{"1":2,"2":"Seat
