Cervélo R5 - Carbon Roadbike Frame Set - 2026 - TVLAB Replica

The Cervélo R5 is legendary and has been part of Cervélo's history for over two decades. Starting with the R5CA, which set new standards, to Wout van Aert's victory on Mont Ventoux. The new R5 is an incredibly light road bike. It weighs 5.97 kg with RED and Dura-Ace components. At the same time, it is stiff enough for professional cycling at the highest level – Pauline Ferrand-Prevot proved this impressively with her victory in the Tour de France Femmes.

Building a lightweight road bike is relatively easy. But building a lightweight road bike that is stiff enough to accelerate quickly and transfer the power of the strongest riders? That's a whole different challenge. The R5 is the bike for the demanding mountain stages of the Tour de France and the mercilessly steep climbs of the Vuelta a España. Bikes built for the mountains not only have to accelerate quickly and climb exceptionally well, they also have to ride safely and predictably downhill. While the UCI stipulates a minimum weight of 6.8 kg, we "mere mortals" benefit from riding one of the lightest road bikes on the market.

The frame weighs only 651 g (size 56) and the fork 298 g. In addition to reducing the weight of the frame and fork by 100 g, Cervélo has focused on every single component of the bike, reducing the total weight of all components by 326 g.

The new handlebar/stem unit contributes significantly to the weight reduction of the R5. Cervélo knows that a perfect riding position is crucial to fully exploit the bike's potential. That's why they have developed 15 different versions of the cockpit with different stem lengths and handlebar widths.

Frame set with carbon fork, Cervélo HB18 carbon stem/handlebar unit, carbon seatpost, and thru axles.
