Cervélo Caledonia-5 Force AXS
The Cervélo Caledonia-5 is built for riders who live for those epic, audacious adventures that blur the line between ambition and insanity. You know the ones: the rides that make your friends question your judgment and leave you with stories worth telling for years. This is the bike that thrives on those moments.
The Caledonia-5 nails the impossible balance between race bike precision and long-haul comfort. It's wickedly fast when you need to hammer, yet forgiving enough to keep you fresh through hundreds of kilometres of varied terrain. Clever in-frame storage stashes your essentials (multi-tool, tube, CO2 canister) right where you need them, keeping everything secure but ready to grab when things go sideways.
Borrowed from the gravel-crushing Aspero, the dropped seat stays soak up road chatter and keep you comfortable on endless stretches of rough pavement. Meanwhile, the beefed-up downtube delivers the kind of responsive, connected feel that makes the Caledonia-5 come alive when you stand on the pedals or dive into corners. It's the rare bike that feels plush on the straights and razor-sharp when things get spicy.
Every detail has been obsessed over. Fender mounts and generous clearance for up to 36mm tires mean you're ready for whatever conditions the route throws at you. Fully internal cable routing and wind-slicing tube shapes give you free speed without sacrificing practicality. Need to dial in your fit? Split bearing caps let you swap stems quickly without the headache of bleeding brakes.
The Caledonia-5 is purpose-built for riders who refuse to play it safe, who chase horizons instead of comfort zones. From first light to last light (and maybe a headlamp finish), this bike empowers you to redefine what's possible on two wheels.

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.
