Why We Like The Cervelo S5 Force eTap AXS Road Bike
Aerodynamics essentially decides the performance of a top-tier race bike, which is why we trust the Cervelo S5 Force eTap AXS Road Bike for our high-output training and racing on the local series. The refined V-Stem integrates all cables to reduce clutter and provide efficient aerodynamic characteristics, while the Cervelo All-Carbon frame with added deepness at the head tube and bottom bracket ensures every single watt we generate provides maximum acceleration to the bike's rear tire.
This build sits in the middle of Cervelo's S5 offerings, starting with SRAM's Force eTap AXS wireless drivetrain system, which offers accurate shifting and the gearing we need to ride our favorite terrain. This specific build is spec'd with 48/35T chainrings on the SRAM Force AXS power meter crankset, which is accurate to within +/- 1.5% of power output, no matter the temperature. Reserve carbon wheels deliver optimal stiffness for acceleration and straight-lining speed, increase stability and reduce drag in windy conditions, and accommodate tubeless tire setups.
*Due to a high demand in the global supply chain and bike industry since the start of the pandemic, material weight and exact components are subject to change. We are working diligently to keep tech specs updated, and any adjustments will be of equal or better spec level.
