CERVELO S5 Ultegra Di2, size 54
The S5 is widely regarded as one of the fastest aero models on the market and is the bike of choice for Team-Visma riders on flat and rolling stages, as well as some spring classics.
This bike is a proven race winner. Team Visma rode Cervélo bikes to unprecedented success in 2023, winning all three Grand Tours atop Cervélo models, as well as contesting the biggest one-day races of the year. The Cervélo S5 – the brand’s most aerodynamic option – was crucial to the success of the world-beating Dutch team in the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia, and the Vuelta a Espana.
The S5 has one job—get to the line before everyone else. Under the likes of Wout van Aert, Marianne Vos, and Christophe LaPorte, the new model has already proven itself as a tool without equal. In the 2022 Tour de France, this bike propelled Wout to the highest ever Points Classification score of the modern era. At 480, Wout was some 194 points ahead of his nearest rival—tangible proof that Cervélo keeps delivering aerodynamic gains to our World Tour athletes.
The new S5 has reduced drag by 65 grams, and increased the frame’s surface area while still reducing overall weight. The deeper frame sections maximize the shapes allowed by the UCI. Meanwhile the iconic V-stem has been further refined and a new fork designed to simplify the entire front end.
What’s more, a ground-breaking new wheel design concept has been co-developed with Reserve to increase stability and reduce drag in turbulent aero conditions.
