The Cervelo S5 is a sport-wide benchmark for speed and aerodynamic efficiency, with the race results to back it up. The new S5 builds on that legacy of speed by getting even faster.
The S5's iconic V-stem and bayonet fork are a fixture at the front of the professional peloton. The new bike is over 6 Watts faster than its predecessor, 124 grams lighter, and retains the handling, poise, and stability that riders everywhere love.
The biggest changes are at the front of the bike, where the most significant aerodynamic performance comes from. The fork legs and head tube got quite a bit deeper, and the all-new, one-piece handlebar/stem builds on the original V-stem concept and gets even faster.
The new S5’s one-piece bar and stem is a big part of the bike’s increase in aerodynamic performance. Cervelo offers different size combinations to ensure optimal fit, as aerodynamic improvements are limited if the bike does not fit perfectly.
Cervelo and Reserve co-developed the new Reserve 57|64 Turbulent Aero wheels specifically for use in the S5 frame, completing the aerodynamic system. Turbulent Aero is a unique R&D program that leverages real world wind data to create the most rapid, stable, and best handling wheels in real world riding conditions.
