Cervelo R5 Disc Road Bike (SRAM Force AXS)

Cervelo R5 Disc Road Bike (SRAM Force AXS)

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.

This bike is finishged with the 12 speed SRAM Force AXS groupset.
