Cervélo R5 Frameset Limited Edition
There are only 30 of these limited edition R5 framesets for all of North America.
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.
If you have any questions or we don't have what you're looking for, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us and we'll get back to you within 24 hours.

Cervélo R5 Frameset Limited Edition
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.
Features
Light as a feather, the R5 frame is 130g lighter than the last generation, that's a whopping 16%. It's also more aero thanks to its stealthy cable routing.
The colour black may absorb all light, but Cervélo Five Black is anything but heavy. This ultra-minimal graphics and paint package results in a frame that’s significantly lighter—they’ll never even see you coming.
Balance is the word that comes to mind when you hear the name R5. This bike will keep you comfortable on those not-so-smooth roads while also making sure that your watts aren't going to waste.

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.
