CERVÉLO S5 -2027 RED e-TAP AXS 1

Description:

The 2027 Cervélo S5 Red AXS is the ultimate aerodynamic race machine, featuring a state-of-the-art carbon frame, the wireless SRAM Red AXS 12-speed electronic groupset with an integrated power meter and ceramic bottom bracket, and ultra-fast Reserve 57|64 carbon wheels with DT Swiss 180 hubs. It is built for uncompromising speed, giving elite racers and serious enthusiasts every competitive advantage on the road.

Designed For:

The Cervélo S5 Red AXS is designed for WorldTour-level road racing, criteriums, and high-speed solo breakaways. It targets riders looking for maximum aerodynamic efficiency, razor-sharp handling, and the absolute pinnacle of high-performance component integration.

Highlights:

The S5 is a sport-wide benchmark for speed and aerodynamic efficiency—with the race results to back it up. From WorldTour podiums to local criteriums, the iconic V-stem and bayonet fork design remain at the front of the pack. The new S5 builds on that legacy by getting even faster.

The new bike is over 6 Watts faster than its predecessor, 124 grams lighter, and retains the handling, poise, and stability that riders everywhere love. The biggest changes are at the front of the bike, where the most significant aerodynamic performance comes from. The fork legs and head tube got quite a bit deeper, and the all-new, one-piece Cervélo HB19 carbon handlebar/stem builds on the original V-stem concept to get even faster.

Despite an increase in surface area, the new S5 is 124 grams lighter than its predecessor. While the increase in fork and head tube depth added weight, Cervélo optimized the carbon layup and hardware to make the overall system lighter.

The new Reserve 57|64 wheelset was co-developed by Reserve and Cervélo, and designed for use in the new S5. The rear wheel’s asymmetry matches the seat tube, ensuring air flows smoothly over both. Built with lightweight DT Swiss 180 hubs, the wheelset is 3 Watts faster than previous iterations while maintaining the same weight.
