5.97 kg R5 Race Platform
The R5 is designed around the demands of high-level road racing, combining very low weight with the stiffness required for hard accelerations and efficient power transfer. Its focus on climbing performance is balanced by handling designed to remain confident and predictable on fast mountain descents.
This SRAM RED build has a stated complete bike weight of 5.97 kg. A Cervelo all-carbon tapered R5 fork completes the chassis, while clearance for tyres up to 34 mm provides scope to tailor the tyre setup to different road conditions.
SRAM Red XPLR AXS 1x 13-Speed Drivetrain
The 1x drivetrain uses a SRAM Red AXS XPLR E1 13-speed rear derailleur with a SRAM Red 10-46T 13-speed cassette. Up front, the SRAM Red 1 AXS E1 crankset uses a single 48T chainring and incorporates a power meter, providing power measurement without the need for a separate system.
A SRAM DUB Ceramic BBright bottom bracket and SRAM Red chain complete the drivetrain specification. SRAM Paceline X Centerlock rotors form part of the braking setup.
Reserve Wheels with DT Swiss 180 Hubs
A Reserve 34TA front wheel is paired with a Reserve 37TA rear wheel, both using DT Swiss 180 hubs. The wheels are tubeless compatible and are fitted with Vittoria Corsa Pro Speed TLR 700 x 26 tyres.
Integrated Carbon Cockpit
The Cervelo HB18 carbon one-piece handlebar and stem provides an integrated cockpit, complemented by a Cervelo SP33 carbon seatpost and Prologo Nago R4 PAS Lightweight NACK saddle. Cervelo front computer and accessory mounts and a rear accessory mount are also included in the supplied specification.
Who It’s For
The Cervelo R5 Red XPLR AXS 1 2027 is for performance-focused road cyclists looking for an exceptionally light race bike with a simplified 1x drivetrain and wide 13-speed gearing. Its 5.97 kg stated weight, SRAM Red XPLR AXS drivetrain, integrated power meter, Reserve wheels and carbon cockpit make it particularly suited to climbing, mountainous routes and high-performance road racing.
