The Cervélo R5 has been part of pro cycling's most memorable moments for over two decades — from the R5CA that redefined what a light race bike could be, to Wout van Aert's iconic day on Mont Ventoux, to Pauline Ferrand-Prevot's Tour de France Femmes victory. The R5 isn't a new concept. It's a proven quantity at the highest level of the sport, refined over generations until Cervélo concluded the only way forward was to rebuild it from scratch.
Show full description and specs
The Cervelo R5 Dura-Ace Di2 Bike is the result of that rebuild: a complete race machine that weighs 5.97kg in size 56 — a full 900 grams under the UCI's 6.8kg minimum weight limit. The frame alone is 651 grams. The fork is 298 grams. Those figures matter on long mountain stages when the difference between accelerating and getting dropped is decided in watts per kilogram. But Cervélo's point, and what separates this R5 from simply being a light bike, is that it's also stiff enough to transfer power from the sport's biggest engines, responsive enough to handle technical descents with confidence, and stable enough to hold a line at speed. Light and fast are not a compromise here. They're the same thing.
The Dura-Ace Di2 build at $14,150 pairs that frame with Shimano's flagship 12-speed electronic drivetrain, a 4iiii Precision Pro Gen3+ dual-sided power meter integrated into the crankset, and the Reserve 34/37 carbon wheelset on DT Swiss 180 hubs. Vittoria Corsa Pro Speed TLR G2.0 700x26 tires and a CeramicSpeed SL bottom bracket for Cervélo's proprietary BBright shell complete a build spec that leaves almost nowhere to upgrade. The HB18 integrated carbon cockpit comes in 15 size combinations — your authorized Cervélo retailer fits it at no additional cost.
