BICYCLE CERVELO S5 FORCE AXS 28

BICYCLE CERVELO S5 FORCE AXS 28

The S5 has one job: to reach the finish line before everyone else. Under the guidance of Wout van Aert, Marianne Vos, and Christophe LaPorte, the new model has already proven to be an unparalleled tool. In the 2022 Tour de France, this bicycle pushed Wout to the highest points total in the modern era points classification. At 480 points, Wout led his closest rival by about 194 points: tangible proof that Cervélo continues to provide aerodynamic advantages to its World Tour athletes.

The new S5 has reduced aerodynamic drag by 65 grams and increased the frame surface, while reducing total weight. The deeper frame sections maximize the shapes allowed by the UCI. The iconic V-stem has been further refined and the new fork has been designed to simplify the entire front end.

Additionally, in collaboration with Reserve, a new revolutionary wheel concept has been developed to increase stability and reduce aerodynamic drag in turbulent conditions.

BICYCLE CERVELO S5 FORCE AXS 28 KEY SPECIFICATIONS:

• V stands for Speed: In pursuit of speed, everyone wants to try different positions to find the most aggressive setup. The iconic V mount of the S5 not only guarantees safe high-speed handling, but is now also incredibly easy to adjust. All necessary spacers are included with the bike, and there is now only one bolt length, reducing complexity and shaving 53 g from the system.
• Frame improvements: The new UCI aerodynamic design regulations gave us more freedom to deepen profiles and gain 65 g more aerodynamic performance from what is already the fastest aero bike on the market. You’ll notice a deeper headtube and bottom bracket area, as well as a more aggressive shaping of the tube exit edges. Because the new S5 is compatible only with electronic shifting, it was possible to simplify the seat cluster area and update the shapes across the bike.
• Aerodynamic turbulence: Reserve and Cervélo collaborated to develop a completely innovative approach to wheel design and testing, optimizing them for turbulent aerodynamic conditions. Wind tunnels typically measure performance in laminar flow, but such conditions are not realistic in the real world. We helped Reserve develop rim profiles that stall less drastically with larger yaw angles: practically, this means greater stability, more grip, and more rider confidence. It makes you go faster because you feel more secure increasing speed. The Reserve 52/63 wheels are 50 g faster in laminar flow and 54 g faster in turbulent flow compared to the previous Reserve 50/65.
• Sufficient tire clearance: Wider wheels and tires are faster aerodynamically and also more comfortable. The S5 is equipped with 28 mm tires but has room for tires up to 34 mm (measured). The frame is optimized to pair with the wider Reserve 52/63 wheels suited for turbulence. In addition to improved handling, this provides over 5 watts saving compared to the previous Reserve wheelset.
• Handlebar refinement: We have improved handlebar comfort and changed the shape to achieve a perfectly flat transition between bar and controls. We now use a two-bolt interface that allows continuous adjustable tilt from 0 to 5 degrees.
• Simplicity: Bike fitters at all levels are moving away from long-offset seatposts, and the new S5 comes with a 15 mm offset seatpost in most sizes (versus 25 mm on the previous model). The old seatposts remain compatible and we will continue to stock the 400 mm model with 25 mm offset for those seeking a more extreme position.
