Description
R-series bicycles are engineered to optimize strength, stiffness and comfort, while offering low weight in every situation. An R-series bicycle offers the best of our Project California engineering.
R5
Second only to the R5ca as the worlds lightest and stiffest frame, its construction seems to defy the possible—especially considering the balance of power transmission and the ability to absorb harsh bumps and vibration. Tested and chosen by the top riders from Team Garmin-Sharp-Barracuda to win the “hilly” stages of Grand Tours like the 2012 Giro d’Italia, these riders particularly appreciate its precise cornering, ultimate balance and instantaneous response. Light weight and stiff, featuring BBright™, Smartwall™ technology, and optimized second-generation Squoval™ tube shapes, the R5 is a true climbing machine. With a lively feel that transforms sky-high climbs into dream experiences, this bike will meet any challenge you put in its path.

REVIEWS
"Stiff ride, the R5 seems to descend (and climb) better than just about anything else out there." Bike Radar Magazine, June 2011
"...a surprisingly stiff road feel that begs comparison to race car inspired suspenion, and excellent stability at speed." Bike Radar Magazine, June 2011
UNCOMPROMISED ENGINEERING
Feel the benefits of extreme light weight engineering with no compromise in stiffness, strength or comfort. You’ll search out hard hills not only to feel the light weight on the climbs, but also the speed and control on the descent. The result: an understated design that allows performance to make the statement. A settled ride that allows you to feel the road while minimizing rough road feedback. A comfort magnified with the ultra-thin seat stays developed to increase vertical compliance and vibration absorption for a smooth ride.
While your R-series bike was obviously built to be light, you won’t feel the need to treat it gently. Thanks to Squoval™ tube shapes and BBright™ technology, the R-series withstands the all-out sprints and hardest attacks with minimum flex. That means no flinching over potholes and gravel roads, the launch power to chase down a break or pull away in a sprint, the stability for effortless straight-line handling and precise speed through the tightest corners
What goes into a light weight and stiff design?
The R-Series showcase Cervélo’s second generation Squoval™ tube shapes, optimized 1 3/8” tapered steerer, SmartWall™, and BBright™ technologies—all designed to enhance stiffness where it matters for better handling and power transmission and to reduce excess weight at the same time, for optimum lightness and comfort.
