Cervélo S5 RED ETAP AXS, (Sapphire Ice) - 51cm

The Cervélo S5 has long been hailed as the fastest bike on the road, and now it's back with even more impressive upgrades. Cervélo pioneered the aero design, and with the new S5, they've only expanded their lead over the competition. At the 2022 Tour de France, the S5 played a crucial role in propelling Jonas Vingegaard to the yellow jersey and helping Wout van Aert dominate the green jersey race. With improvements to its aerodynamics, the S5 is more efficient than ever, thanks to the latest UCI regulations, reducing aero drag by an additional 65 grams. A deeper head tube, refined bottom bracket area, and more aggressive tube shaping make the 2024 S5 the most aero version yet.

One of the standout features of the S5, the iconic V-Stem, has also been upgraded for even greater convenience and speed. Designed for optimal aerodynamic performance and better bike handling at high speeds, the V-Stem minimizes airflow turbulence over the top tube and around the rider, reducing wind resistance. It's also fully integrated for internal cable routing, perfectly accommodating the world-class SRAM eTap AXS 12-speed electronic groupset. Setup is now faster and easier, with all necessary spacers included and just one bolt length required, simplifying the system and reducing weight by 53 grams. The V-Stem’s unique design sets the S5 apart from other aero bikes, enhancing speed, stability, and integration.

The Cervélo S5 offers an excellent balance of stiffness for sprinting and cornering agility. A lower, stiffer bottom bracket improves stability and pedaling efficiency, ensuring that every watt of power is transferred to the rear wheel rather than being absorbed by frame flex. The bike’s torsional stiffness minimizes frame twisting, maintaining momentum through turns, while the frame’s vertical compliance smooths out bumps, helping you maintain speed on rough roads. With the ability to accommodate 34mm tires, the S5 is built to take on tough courses with ease, making it the ultimate sprinter’s bike.

An essential feature of any aero bike is maintaining an aerodynamic riding position. Most aerodynamic drag comes from the rider’s body, so a comfortable, low-drag position is as critical as the bike’s aero design. Thanks to its carefully engineered frame shape and geometry, the S5 helps riders maintain this position throughout their ride. Tested in real-world, turbulent aerodynamic conditions, the frame is designed to handle wind from all angles, not just in a controlled wind tunnel environment, making the S5 faster and more efficient in any conditions.

Cervélo is confident that the 2024 S5 will once again claim the title of the fastest bike on the road. As the primary weapon for Team Jumbo-Visma on the UCI World Tour, the new S5 is poised to take its performance to the next level. Ready to ride like the pros? Get your hands on the Cervélo S5 and experience the speed and precision used by some of the world’s top athletes.
