A Threaded BB

A Threaded BB

Less wear, easier to replace, and more reliable, the R5-CX features a threaded BB to handle the rigours of cyclocross racing.

D-Shaped Seatpost

D-Shaped Seatpost

The mud and obstacles of a cyclocross course can even catch out the best. So when it happens, and it will, no one wants to be messing around straightening their saddle out. Cervélo went with a D-shaped seatpost to keep it straight in the event of a crash, as well as a double seatpost collar to keep it at the right height.

Ample Tire and Mud Clearance

Sizing Guide

The sizing chart is a great place to start when picking your next bike but everyone will fit a bike a bit differently. Your torso, arm, and leg lengths all play into what size of bike you may need. Plus, there's your own personal preference.

We always recommend swinging by the shop and taking the bike that you're looking for a spin to see how it feels. If you're unable to come by, looking at the geometry of your current bike and comparing it is a good place to start. If you have any further questions, our customer service team is there to help.
