Flat bars and suspension on a Cervelo?
When it comes to racing Cervelo are all-in. The Z bikes—the ZHT-5 and the ZFS-5, Cervelo’s hardtail and full-suspension, respectively—made their race debut at the Nove Mesto World Cup in 2023 and since then they have been taking the Mountain Bike XCO race scene by storm. Now the bikes that made it to the podium are in production and ready to hit the trails, now with up to 53% off RRP.
Cervelo ZFS-5. Making Mountain Biking Faster
Progressive but racy. The ZFS-5 was built for today’s evolving XCO courses—it had to pedal well and handle quickly, but also take on the chunks, jumps, and drops littering the course. ZFS-5’s 67.8-degree head tube angle delivers the precision required for elbow-to-elbow hole shot sprints, and the confidence to let off the brakes when the track gets rough. And in 120mm-outfitting, the 66.6-degree head angle will give you the extra confidence to push harder, and ride faster, even when the trail gets a bit…hellish.
Cervelo ZHT-5. Modern geometry for modern XC riders
ZHT-5 is a Cervélo through and through: fast, efficient, and fun to ride. The 69-degree head tube angle, modern reach, and short chainstays combine to make a bike that’s stable at speed and nimble enough for pack racing. There’s room to maneuver in the cockpit, whether you’re darting inside on an uphill hairpin, or hanging off the back to make time on the descent.
