Cervelo R5 Red XPLR AXS 1 E1 Bike Info

Experience the next evolution in climbing performance with the Cervélo R5 Red XPLR AXS 1 E1, blending ultra-lightweight design and endurance-ready versatility in one race-ready machine.

Built on Cervélo’s all-new T1100/Nanoalloy carbon frame, the R5 integrates a refined Asymmetric X geometry and X-Stay rear structure to sculpt vibration absorption without compromising stiffness. The 1× SRAM Red XPLR AXS E1 drivetrain delivers streamlined, wireless shifting across a wide 10–46T cassette, optimized for climbing torque and downhill control. The build completes with a Reserve 34/37 TA carbon wheelset (laced to DT Swiss 180 hubs), a full-power SRAM Red 1 AXS crank with power meter, and a one-piece HB18 carbon cockpit for clean aerodynamics and integrated routing.

Specs at a Glance

  • Frame / fork: T1100 carbon with Nanoalloy, internal routing, Asymmetric X & X-Stay design
  • Drivetrain: SRAM Red XPLR AXS E1, 1× (10–46T cassette) with integrated power meter crank
  • Wheelset: Reserve 34/37 TA carbon, DT Swiss 180 hubs, tubeless-ready
  • Brake system: SRAM Red AXS E1 hydraulic disc, CenterLock
  • Cockpit: Cervélo HB18 integrated bar / stem, clean routing
  • Tire clearance: Up to ~35 mm (road / mixed surface support)
  • Intended use: Lightweight climbing, endurance race, all-world capability

Design Benefits

  1. Climbing efficiency: Ultralight frame and 1× drivetrain reduce mechanical drag and simplify shifting under load.
  2. Balanced performance: Asymmetric geometry and X-Stay structure absorb road vibration while maintaining torsional stiffness.
  3. Versatile gearing: The 10–46T cassette delivers wide range for steep ascents and fast sections without a front derailleur.
  4. Aero & integration: The one-piece HB18 cockpit and internal routing preserve a clean aerodynamic profile.
  5. All-terrain readiness: Clearance for wider tires lets you adapt to variable road surfaces without switching bikes.

Final Take

The Cervélo R5 Red XPLR AXS 1 E1 is a bold statement in race machine design—lightweight, efficient, and fiercely capable. It’s ideal for riders who demand climbing power without giving up aerodynamic poise or everyday versatility.
