Description

Cervelo R5 Red AXS 2026

The Cervelo R5 Red AXS 2026 is built for riders chasing ultimate climbing performance, class-leading stiffness, and pro-level race credentials. At just 5.97kg, this road bike is one of the lightest on the market, designed to excel on the steepest gradients of the Tour de France and beyond, while still delivering confident handling and precision on technical descents.

With a 651g carbon frame (size 56) and a 298g tapered fork, the R5 has been refined for maximum weight savings without compromising strength. Every component has been optimised, from the all-new Cervélo HB18 carbon bar/stem, which shaves 150g and adds aerodynamic efficiency, to the Reserve 34 | 37 SL wheelset, redesigned to save 60g while maintaining stiffness and control. The result is a bike that accelerates with ease, climbs effortlessly, and handles with stability at speed.

Equipped with SRAM’s 12-speed Red AXS groupset, including a 48/35T power meter chainset and 10-33 cassette, this R5 offers crisp electronic shifting and a wide gear range suited to high-mountain ascents and fast-paced racing. DT Swiss 180 hubs, Vittoria Corsa Pro Speed TLR tyres, and a Prologo Nago R4 PAS lightweight saddle complete a world-class build. Reflecting Cervélo’s attention to detail, the bike is also fitted with front and rear accessory mounts for seamless integration.
