What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I’ve built multiple aero race bikes around this frameset, and it consistently stands out for how cohesive the system feels. The integrated bar, stem, and fork work together to keep the front end stiff and predictable, even under sprint loads. Add in the generous tire clearance, and it’s an aero platform that doesn’t feel locked into outdated race geometry or tire sizing."
The S5 Road Frameset represents Cervelo’s most focused interpretation of aerodynamic road performance, engineered for riders who prioritize speed above all else. Designed using Cervelo’s data-driven approach to measurable gains, the S5 delivers reduced drag without compromising stability or handling, making it a proven choice for competitive racing and high-speed road riding.
The carbon frame and fork feature aero-shaped tubing profiles that work in concert with the fully integrated HB14 handlebar and ST35 stem. Internal cable routing further minimizes turbulence at the front of the bike, while the stiffened head tube and BBRight bottom bracket ensure efficient power transfer during sprints and sustained efforts. Disc brake compatibility adds confident braking performance, and thru-axle spacing front and rear keeps the chassis tracking precisely at speed.
Modern versatility is built into the S5’s race-first design. With clearance for tires up to 34mm, this frameset supports wider road tires for improved grip, comfort, and confidence on rough pavement and demanding courses. Whether built as a pure race machine or a fast all-road setup, the S5 Road Frameset is optimized for riders chasing marginal gains, higher average speeds, and podium-level performance.
Heads up - We 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. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.

Aerodynamic Carbon Design
An aero-shaped carbon frame and fork are engineered to reduce drag and maximize speed, making the S5 a proven platform for racing and fast road riding.
Integrated Front-End Efficiency
Fully internal cable routing and an integrated bar-and-stem design create a clean profile that improves airflow while delivering a modern, race-ready look.
Race-Tuned Stiffness and Versatility
A stiffened head tube and bottom bracket deliver efficient power transfer, while clearance for up to 34mm tires adds confidence on rough pavement and varied courses.
The Cervélo Difference
Cervélo was founded in 1995 by engineers with a singular focus: measurable speed. From the start, the brand has taken an uncompromising, data-driven approach to bike design, defining clear performance goals, validating them through testing, and refining every detail until gains are proven.
This process has produced some of the most aerodynamically efficient, lightweight, and stiff bikes in the sport. Across road, aero road, triathlon, endurance, and track platforms, Cervélo continues to set benchmarks for performance and efficiency, trusted by professional teams and riders who demand results they can feel on the road.
