YOUR BEST ENTRY IN TO PRO BIKE PERFORMANCE

YOUR BEST ENTRY IN TO PRO BIKE PERFORMANCE
Andreas Klier of the Cervélo Test Team said the RS is the “very, very, very, very, very, very best bike” he’s ever ridden in Paris-Roubaix, the world’s toughest bike race for equipment. With the same SquovalTM shapes and SmartwallTM engineering as R3 and R5, the RS maintains stiffness and strength, but adds a curved version of the Ultra-thin seatstays to boost comfort.
The Cervélo RS will keep you comfortable on your longest weekend rides, and carry you to the podium of your local race. It even carried Thor Hushovd to the podium of one of his many weekend races: Paris-Roubaix.
The RS is part of the R-series, designed to make the difference on the hills and mountains.
Experience:
1. Low weight to help your climbing.
2. Torsional stiffness for safety and confidence while descending.
3. BB stiffness to not waste any energy.
4. Vertical compliance and vibration damping for comfort on long rides & bad roads.
MAIN TECHNOLOGIES
- Squoval™
- Smartwall™ for Carbon
- Oversided bottom bracket area
- Front boomerang construction
- Ultra-thin seat stays

THE ULTIMATE LIGHTWEIGHT FRAME
Posted: March 27, 2012 in Bike, Cervelo, Chelsea, Cycling, Ottawa, R5
The R5 VWD is one of the lightest frames in the world. Lighter than the R3 Team, its impressive test scores are achieved because Cervélo maintains stiffness and strength standards for even its lightest frames. The R5 achieves this by using the technologies developed at the Project California, and mates then with highly complex lay-ups to further save weight and add stiffness.
Experience:
1. Low weight to help your climbing.
2. Torsional stiffness for safety and confidence while descending.
3. BB stiffness to not waste any energy.
4. Vertical compliance and vibration damping for comfort on long rides & bad roads.
