Caledonia 5 Rival eTap AXS Road Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Rival eTap AXS build gives you all the tech of higher-tier groups at a more accessible price point, and it still feels premium on the road. The geometry is dialed for centuries and gran fondos, but the bike is stiff enough that it doesn’t feel sluggish when you push. Having a power meter stock is a huge value add."

The Cervelo Caledonia 5 Rival eTap AXS Road Bike is designed for riders who balance performance with practicality, bringing race-inspired DNA into an endurance platform. Cervelo’s carbon construction and tapered Caledonia-5 fork keep the frame stiff, lightweight, and smooth over imperfect pavement, while endurance geometry positions us comfortably for long hours in the saddle without giving up efficiency. Internal routing and integrated mounts maintain a clean aero aesthetic while expanding versatility for fenders, lights, and storage.

SRAM’s Rival eTap AXS 2x12 groupset brings wireless shifting precision to every ride. The 48/35t chainrings matched with a 10-36t cassette deliver gearing suited for steep climbs, rolling terrain, and fast descents alike. The Rival crankset integrates a Quarq power meter into the DUB spindle, providing reliable data at +/- 1.5% accuracy so training rides translate directly into measurable gains. Hydraulic disc brakes with Paceline rotors ensure confident braking in all weather conditions.

Rolling on Vision Team i23 Disc wheels wrapped in Corsa N.EXT TLR tires, the Caledonia 5 maintains efficiency and grip over smooth tarmac and rougher backroads, with clearance for up to 36mm tires to extend versatility. Whether training, racing, or exploring, the Caledonia 5 Rival eTap AXS balances cutting-edge wireless tech, integrated power, and endurance geometry for a bike that’s ready for any challenge.
