Cervelo R5 Dura-Ace 9100 - 2017

The R5 makes no compromises as an ultralight race machine first and foremost. Team Dimension Data’s World Tour riders also praise its new pro fit, stable and responsive handling, and unrivaled stiffness. No wonder Bernie Eisel calls it “the perfect bike for stage racing,” with Omar Fraile demonstrating as much by powering it to glory in the 100th Giro d’Italia. This R5 component lineup includes Shimano's 11-speed Dura-Ace drivetrain for precise and smooth shifting, Mavic Ksyrium Elite wheelset, and Cervelo carbon seatpost, handlebar, and stem. The R5 sets new benchmarks for performance, usability, and confidence-boosting control.
