Cervélo R5 | Best Road Bikes Of 2024

Look no further than the Cervélo R5 for supremacy in the high mountains. Built to blast you to the top with ease and made to handle the downs with equal panache, it’s the go-to climber’s bike of our Road Bike Guide.
We put it through the paces in Moab, UT to feel how it rides the hills, swooping turns, and chip-seal descents.
See how it did, and then check out the other bikes in our Road Bike Guide to decide which is for you: www.competitivecyclist.com/se...

I just got one and its so beautiful :)

[@fabienandre9203]

I have it ! In 34x34 for the mountains like the galibier, it’s perfect•One negative thing : it is not stable in the descent. Before I have trek emonda and this bike is stable in descent

[@Nilex1994]

I can't imagine that this bike isn't stable. It is one of the stiffest bikes Cervelo has to offer with the S5. Is it possible that this is due to your wheels? Even my old Scott Addict RC is stable down the hill at 100 km/h +. Why wouldn't an R5 twice as expensive do that?

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

Finally we have a good-looking bike for 2024. Most other designs in this price range (including Cevelo's S5) look like "forget that it makes you puke, wind tunnel testing says it's fast!". And shame that they stick with press-fit BBs.

I am an endurance rider can I use it for 600 km
