Cervlo R5 Disc Ultegra Di2
WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN
The Cervlo R5 Disc Ultegra R8170 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 cant carve a hairpin is a bit like a cup of decaf coffee. This is the fourth iteration of the R5 Disc Ultegra R8170 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 Cervelo R5 Disc Ultegra R8170 Di2 frame is 130g lighter than the previous model - a 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.
