Cervelo

R5 Force eTap AXS Road Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The R5 nails that balance of stiffness and comfort you want in a climbing bike. The all-carbon cockpit feels seamless, and SRAM’s Force AXS gives consistent, intuitive control. Paired with Reserve carbon wheels and Vittoria’s fast-rolling tires, it’s everything you need to crush long days in the mountains."

The Cervélo R5 Force eTap AXS Road Bike defines what a modern climbing machine should be—featherlight, brutally efficient, and elegantly simple. A size 56 build tips the scales at just 5.97kg, with the 651g carbon frame engineered for stiffness where it counts and compliance where it matters most. Cervélo’s one-piece HB18 carbon cockpit and SP33 seatpost minimize weight and streamline aerodynamics, while the Reserve 34TA carbon wheels deliver responsiveness on climbs and stability at speed.

SRAM’s 12-speed Force AXS group adds precision with wireless shifts and integrated power measurement. The compact 48/35T crankset paired with a 10-33T cassette keeps cadence smooth on varied gradients. Vittoria’s Corsa Pro Speed TLR tires ensure race-ready grip and rolling efficiency.

From the first pedal stroke uphill to the final switchback descent, the R5 blends world-class performance with ride quality that inspires confidence. It’s purpose-built for riders who demand the lightest and best-handling platform possible.
