CerveloR5 Ultegra Di2 - Five Black - 48

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> <div> <div>Cervélo Carbon</div> </div> <strong>Fork</strong> <div> <div>Cervélo All-Carbon, Tapered R5 Fork</div> </div> <strong>Rims/Wheels</strong> <div> <div>New Reserve 34/37mm Tubeless Ready</div> </div> <strong>Hubs</strong> <div> <div>DT370, Zipp 76/176 HG, Center-Lock</div> </div> <strong>Spokes</strong> N/A <strong>Tires</strong> <div> <div>Vittoria Corsa TLR G2.0 25c</div> </div> <strong>Crankset</strong> <div> <div>Shimano Ultegra 8100</div> </div> <strong>Chainrings</strong> 52/36 <strong>Bottom Bracket</strong> JY-BB 24 <strong>Chain</strong> <div> <div>Shimano CN-M8100, 12 spd</div> </div> <strong>Front Derailleur</strong> <div> <div>Shimano Ultegra Di2 8150, 12 spd</div> </div> <strong>Rear Derailleur</strong> <div> <div>Shimano Ultegra Di2 8150, 12 spd</div> </div> <strong>Cassette/Rear Cogs</strong> <div> <div>Shimano Ultegra CS-R8100, 12 spd, 11-30</div> </div> <strong>Shifters</strong> <div> <div>Shimano Ultegra Di2 8170, 12 spd</div> </div> <strong>Handlebars</strong> <div> <div>Cervélo HB13 Carbon</div> </div> <strong>Stem</strong> <div> <div>Cervélo ST31 Carbon</div> </div> <strong>Brake Levers</strong> <div> <div>Shimano Ultegra Di2 8170, 12 spd</div> </div> <strong>Brakes</strong> <div> <div>Shimano Ultegra 8170 Hydraulic Disc with Shimano RT-MT800, 160mm Rotors</div> </div> <td
