Find out all about the now officially launched cervelo S5 – the bike Jonas Vingegaard rode to LeTour victory, and his JumboVismaRoad teammate WoutvanAert piloted to the points classification win. cycling
Cervelo says it has taken advantage of recent changes in UCI equipment rules to reduce drag.
“Since the new S5 is only compatible with electronic shifting, we were able to tidy the dropout a bit, and update the shaping all over the bike.”Each of the changes is relatively subtle but if you compare pictures of the old S5 and the new version you’ll notice the differences. “On the new one, it’s as easy as installing the new stem,” says Cervelo. “All the necessary spacers come with the bike, and there’s only one bolt length, instead of the previous stack-specific bolt spec. The handlebars attach more simply and have a 5-degree rotation to dial in your fit. Reducing all that complexity made the system 53g lighter, too.”Cervelo says that it has improved the comfort of the handlebar, and altered the shape slightly “to get a perfectly flat bar-to-hood transition”.
There’s now space to fit 34mm tyres – up from 30mm – although Cervelo says that the new S5 is optimised for use with the new, widerwith 28mm tyres fitted. These are said to contribute massively to the overall reduction in drag. In short, the idea is that it takes account of the fact that we ride in real-world conditions rather than in smooth airflow.
