The S5 is a sport-wide benchmark for speed and aerodynamic efficiency—with the race results to back it up.
From Wout van Aert winning the Green Jersey by the biggest margin of victory in modern history, to Simon Yates riding himself into the maglia rosa, S5's iconic V-stem and bayonet fork are a fixture at the front of the professional peloton. The new S5 builds on that legacy of speed 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 handlebar/stem builds on the original V-stem concept—and gets even faster.
Cervélo and Reserve co-developed the new Reserve 57|64 Turbulent Aero wheels specifically for use in the S5 frame, completing the aerodynamic system.

The new S5 is 6.3 Watts faster than its predecessor. These gains are realised primarily at the front end of the bike, but the integration of the asymmetric profiles of the seat tube and rear wheel are a significant source as well. Cervélo has long been the aerodynamic leader in the peloton, and the brand is confident that the new S5 is at least 5 Watts faster than the bikes of its competitors.

One Peace of Mind
The new S5's one-piece bar and stem is a big part of the bike's increase in aerodynamic performance, but aerodynamic improvements are limited if the bike doesn't fit you perfectly. Cervélo made nine different size combinations, and when you buy an S5, your Authorised Cervélo Retailer will help you get the right bar/stem combo, for no additional cost.
