The Cervelo Rouvida gets you to fast, well, faster. It is sleekly designed around the Fazua Ride60 motor.
The Rouvida delivers 60nM of torque paired to a 430wH battery, and assists you all the way up to 25km/h (15.5mph)—offering pro peloton speeds on the road, and edge-of-control-two-wheel-drifts off-road. The Rouvida comes in two configurations: road and gravel. Cervelo designed clever interchangeable dropouts that significantly alter the geometry of the bike, so the road bike feels like a road bike, and the gravel bike feels like a gravel bike. There are no compromises, just speed.
Cervelo knew there was interest in both gravel and road performance e-bikes, so they designed dropouts that make one frame do double duty. A world away from your typical ‘flip chip,’ these interchangeable dropouts have the effect of rotating the entire frame to achieve the fit and handling you expect from a Cervelo road bike, and from a Cervelo gravel bike. When changing inserts (which must be purchased from your retailer), there is also a firmware update that needs to take place, and this service must be performed by your local Cervelo retailer.
While the design brief didn’t actually say, ‘Don’t make it look like an e-bike,’ it was definitely at the forefront of Cervelo's thoughts throughout the process. Cervelo's bikes are refined, design-forward performance machines. The addition of a motor and battery couldn’t change that. From the reorientation of the battery to the relocation of the speed sensor, every effort was made to ensure that Rouvida meant Cervelo just as much as S5 or Áspero do.
Cervelo considered every angle, and the result is a bike that looks right at home alongside any of their aero models. Reorienting the battery from the standard implementation saved 25g in the wind tunnel.
Fazua’s latest offering, the Ride60, has already received accolades for its ability to blend seamlessly with your pedaling input to deliver a ride that feels like an analog bike, just with a lot more oomph.
