Cervelo

R5 Dura Ace Di2 Road Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

“The Dura-Ace Di2 build really highlights how refined the R5 platform is. Shifting stays flawless even when you’re deep into a climb, and the Shimano braking system feels controlled and predictable on long descents. Combined with the Reserve wheels and low system weight, it’s a bike that rewards smooth, powerful riding over big elevation days.”

The R5 Dura-Ace Di2 represents Cervélo’s purest interpretation of a modern climbing bike. Its ultra-light carbon frame, weighing just 651g in size 56, is paired with a fully carbon tapered fork to maintain stiffness under acceleration while preserving precise steering control. The integrated HB18 carbon bar and stem eliminate excess hardware and contribute to the bike’s sub-6kg complete build weight.

Shimano’s Dura-Ace Di2 R9270 drivetrain anchors this build with electronic 12-speed shifting and proven hydraulic braking performance. The 52/36T crankset paired with an 11–34T cassette offers a broad gearing range ideal for sustained alpine ascents and fast valley transitions. Reserve’s 34TA SL front and 37TA SL rear wheels provide a lightweight, tubeless-ready platform that enhances responsiveness without compromising descending stability.

Designed for riders targeting high-mountain routes, race-day climbing stages, and long paved endurance rides, the R5 Dura-Ace Di2 delivers exceptional efficiency, confident handling, and refined performance where it matters most—on the way up and on the way back down.
