What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've ridden a lot of lightweight bikes, but the R5 stands apart. The handling feels razor sharp on descents, and it accelerates instantly on climbs. With SRAM's Force AXS drivetrain and that 5. 97kg build, you can feel every watt translated into motion-pure road perfection."We chase elevation with purpose, and the Cervelo R5 Force eTap AXS Road Bike makes that pursuit feel effortless. This frame was built to make mountains smaller, weighing just 651 grams for unmatched climbing efficiency and stiffness that feels alive under power. SRAM's wireless Force AXS group keeps every shift silent and crisp while trimming unnecessary grams. From its one-piece carbon cockpit to its featherlight Reserve 34 wheels, every detail of the R5 aims for speed without compromise. The bike's geometry delivers the stability and precision we expect from a WorldTour platform, while Vittoria Corsa Pro Speed TLR tires offer sublime road feel and traction. Whether we're chasing a summit or carving a descent, the R5 keeps us light, fast, and fully connected to the ride. Heads upWe do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive.
