CerveloR5 Force AXS - Oxblood - 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> Cervélo All-Carbon <strong>Fork</strong> Cervélo All-Carbon, Tapered R5 Fork <strong>Rims/Wheels</strong> Reserve 34/37<br> <strong>Hubs</strong> N/A <strong>Spokes</strong> N/A <strong>Tires</strong> Vittoria Corsa TLR G 700x25c <strong>Crankset</strong> SRAM Force AXS, DUB, with power meter <strong>Chainrings</strong> 48/35T <strong>Bottom Bracket</strong> SRAM DUB Wide, BBright <strong>Chain</strong> SRAM Force, 12 speed <strong>Front Derailleur</strong> SRAM Force AXS, 12 speed <strong>Rear Derailleur</strong> SRAM Force AXS, 12 speed <div> <div><strong>Cassette/Rear Cogs</strong></div> </div> SRAM Force, 10-33, 12 Speed <strong>Shifters</strong> SRAM Force AXS, 12 speed <strong>Handlebars</strong> Cervélo HB13 Carbon, 31.8mm clamp <strong>Stem</strong> Cervélo ST31 Carbon <strong>Brakes</strong> SRAM Force w/ SRAM Paceline Centerlock Rotors <strong>Pedals</strong> Sold Separately <strong>Saddle</strong> Prologo Scratch M5 TiRox <strong>Seat Post</strong> Cervélo SP24 Carbon <td
