Canadian manufacturer Cervélo has officially released the 4th generation of its flagship lightweight road bike, the Cervélo R5.
The latest R5 was developed with considerable input by pro riders from Team Jumbo-Visma including Primoz Roglic, who won overall at the 2021 La Vuelta aboard the new R5. Sepp Kuss and Wout van Aert also used the latest R5 to impressively claim two mountain stage wins at the 2021 Tour De France.

The handlebars and stem are both 12g lighter each and the seatpost is also 20g lighter.
Tyre clearance is now 34mm, up from 28mm. The R5 is disc compatible only.
