Cervelo S5 Ultegra Di2 Disc Road Bike
Description
Cervelo S5 Ultegra Di2 Disc Road Bike 2023 Cervelo's S5 Ultegra Di2 Disc is their fastest, most aerodynamic road bike that has seen many pro-level victories. The slippery carbon frame has been tweaked in line with the UCI’s slightly more relaxed regulations, with some deeper tube shapes and a reworked cockpit setup to reduce drag by a few more precious grams. This frame is now only compatible with electronic shifting and has sufficient tyre clearance for 34mm rubber within its sculpted shape. The instantly-recognisable aerodynamic V-Stem and handlebar arrangement is more adjustable and simpler now, with a small drop in weight into the bargain. Its lauded aerodynamic and handling advantages remain impressive and give the S5 an extremely purposeful-looking stance even when standing still. Cervelo has taken advantage of its in-house Reserve wheel brand and developed a 63/52mm tubeless-ready carbon wheelset that integrates perfectly into the frame. This not only reduces drag when tested in the wind tunnel but also shows improvements when faced with real-world situations where the yaw angle is constantly changing, leading to more stable handling and added speed. Ultegra Di2 is Shimano’s second-tier, 12-speed, electronic groupset. It gives virtually nothing away to the range-topping Dura-Ace version in terms of performance and offers near-instant shifting and impressive braking control. The system is part wireless, which means that it can be connected to a GPS head unit or a smartphone via Bluetooth, giving access to more information during and after a ride as well as some function customisation. Highlights Cervelo S5 All-Carbon frame with TrueAero tube profiles Cervelo All-Carbon fork with external head tube nose section Shimano Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes Shimano Ultegra Di2 12-speed electronic drivetrain Reserve 63/52mm tubeless-ready carbon wheels with Zipp ZR1 ST hubs Cervelo ST35 Carbon V-Stem
