Bicicletas Cervelo

Cervelo was founded in 1995 by Gerard Vroomen and Phil White — two engineering students at McGill University in Montreal who built a radical time trial frame as their graduation project and, when no established manufacturer would touch it, decided to sell it themselves. The name combines cervello (Italian for brain) and vélo (French for bike), which tells you everything about the brand’s priorities. From the start, Cervelo used wind tunnel testing and CFD when those tools were largely unknown in the cycling industry. The Soloist (2002) is credited as the bike that created the aero road bike category. Carlos Sastre won the 2008 Tour de France on a Cervelo, Fabian Cancellara dominated spring classics on the brand’s bikes, and in 2023 Cervelo swept all three grand tours in a single season.

RA Cycles carries the full Cervelo lineup across every discipline. The P and P5 triathlon bikes run from $5,300 to $14,750, covering entry-level race builds up to flagship Red AXS configurations. On the road side, the S5 leads the aero category, the R5 is built for climbing, the Caledonia and Caledonia-5 handle endurance road riding, and the Soloist sits at the intersection of aero performance and all-day comfort. The Aspero and Aspero-5 bring Cervelo’s race-focused engineering to gravel, with builds across GRX, Force, and Red AXS groupsets.

Each major Cervelo model has its own dedicated page at RA Cycles — shop the S5, P5, Caledonia-5, Aspero-5, and Soloist directly, or browse by discipline across road bikes, triathlon bikes, and gravel bikes.
