Cervlo R5 Disc Dura-Ace Di2
WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN
The Cervlo R5 Dura-Ace Di2 has one job - get to the top, fast. But for all the glory and fanfare that comes with a summit finish, theyre rarely the only climb of the day. And while a race isnt usually won on a descent, they can certainly be lost. A climbing bike that can't carve a hairpin is a bit like a cup of decaf coffee. This is the fourth iteration of the Cervlo R5 Dura-Ace Di2, and while weight and stiffness have varied over the years, the handling, poise, and unmatched prowess on a descent have been consistent since day one.
FASTER IN EVERY DIRECTION
The new Cervlo R5 frame is 130g lighter than the previous modela 16% reduction from an already-light frame. And while aerodynamics werent a focus with this frame the way they would be on an S5 or P5, bringing the cables inside reduced drag by 25g.
DARKER THAN NIGHT, LIGHTER THAN AIR
The color black may absorb all light, but Cervlo Five Black is anything but heavy. This ultra-minimal graphics and paint package results in a frame thats significantly lightertheyll never even see you coming.
LESS STIFF, STILL FAST
The Cervlo R5 Dura-Ace Di2 R5 is stiff, but not too stiffthe Goldilocks of climbing bikes if you will. Poise, stability, and power transfer that feels just right and keeps you fresh and ready to take on the road ahead.
