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.
