Cervélo R5 Frameset
The Cervélo R5 is the ultimate climbing bike, now 130g lighter than its predecessor—a 16% weight reduction from an already feather-light frame. Its integrated cable routing not only enhances its sleek design but also reduces drag by 25g, adding subtle aerodynamic efficiency without compromising its climbing focus. The R5 balances stiffness and comfort perfectly, delivering stability and power transfer that feels "just right" to keep you fresh for every challenge ahead.
Designed for summits and descents alike, the R5 excels where it matters most. Its precise handling and poise make it a master of tight hairpins and fast descents, ensuring every downhill is as rewarding as the climb. With a legacy of exceptional performance refined over four generations, the R5 continues to set the standard for climbing bikes that dominate on any terrain.

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.
