The R5 has always had a single purpose: to reach the top as fast as possible. But a finish line at the end of a long climb rarely corresponds to the only ascent of the day. Usually, a race is not decided on the descent, but it can easily be lost there. A climbing bike that can’t handle a downhill hairpin turn tastes like a cup of decaffeinated coffee. This is the fourth generation of the Cervélo R5, and while weight and stiffness have improved over the years, the handling and unmatched agility have remained constant since day one.
