On the fringes of cycling and triathlon, already endurance-oriented sports, there are athletes pushing their bodies and equipment to the limit.
Ultra-distance, but ultra-fast. Cervélo calls these Big, Stupid Rides, and since the introduction of the Caledonia in 2020, athletes around the world have been exploring just how big and just how stupid those rides can be. These athletes reach for the Caledonia-5. It's built to handle long-distance, high-speed racing—with fit and handling geared toward comfort, but without sacrificing the Cervelo race bike feeling.
For the new Caledonia-5, Cervélo focused on improvements that would be meaningful for the people pushing it to its limits. The biggest thing you'll notice is the addition of the in-frame storage first seen on P-Series. This isn't designed to fit a burrito—there's only room for a small multi-tool, tube, and a CO2 canister. Then the design team looked to comfort: the seat stays are dropped, similar to Aspero, which makes that rear triangle more acute, and more vertically flexible. At the same time, there's a bit more downtube stiffness to maintain that pro-level responsiveness Caledonia is known for. You can still stuff some big tyres (36mm) in there, and every bike comes with fender mounts.
Like all Cervélos, Caledonia-5 is UCI approved, and carries a lifetime warranty. Cervélo makes race bikes, and makes them to last.
FEATURES
IN-FRAME STORAGE
New this year on the Caledonia-5, the in-frame storage is designed for a tube, small multi-tool, and a CO2 canister. Out of sight, out of mind, until your tyre makes the bad noise. The hatch is easily removable even with gloves on—just flip the lock and pull.

AERODYNAMICS
All Cervélo bikes are aero bikes. And when you're on three days of panini and candy, running on fumes into Checkpoint One, you'll appreciate the free speed. The completely internal housing and aero tube shapes team up to help you do battle against the wind.
