The Cervelo S5 is the Cervelo bike model most frequently used by Team Jumbo Visma. The top riders Wout van Aert, Jonas Vingegaard, Marianne Vos and Christophe LaPorte achieved countless victories with it.

    With 480 points, Wout was 194 points ahead of his nearest rival – tangible proof that Cervélo continues to deliver aerodynamic improvements to our World Tour athletes. This score is the highest in the history of the Tour de France.

    The new S5 has reduced drag by 65 grams while increasing the surface area of the frame and reducing overall weight. The deeper frame cut-outs maximize the shapes allowed by the new UCI regulations. At the same time, the iconic V-stem has been further refined and a new fork has been developed to simplify the entire cockpit.

    The Cervelo S5 is now available in a limited edition “Grand Tour” paint finish. We were able to build one of the few frames with the brand new SRAM AXS groupset in our workshop. All detail with weights in the video.

    Das Cervelo S5 ist das am häufigsten vom Team Jumbo Visma genutzte Radmodell von Cervelo. Die Top Fahrer Wout van Aert, Jonas Vingegaard, Marianne Vos und Christophe LaPorte erzielten damit unzählige Siege.

    Mit 480 Punkten lag Wout 194 Punkte vor seinem nächsten Konkurrenten—ein greifbarer Beweis dafür, dass Cervélo unseren World Tour-Athleten immer wieder aerodynamische Verbesserungen liefert. Diese Punktzahl ist die höchste in der Geschichte der Tour de France.

    Das neue S5 hat den Luftwiderstand um 65 Gramm reduziert während die Oberfläche des Rahmens vergrößert und gleichzeitig das Gesamtgewicht reduziert wurde. Die tieferen Rahmenausschnitte maximieren die Formen, die die neuen Regularien der von der UCI zulassen. Gleichzeitig wurde der ikonische V-Vorbau weiter verfeinert und eine neue Gabel entwickelt, um das gesamte Cockpit zu vereinfachen.

    Das Cervelo S5 gibt es nun in einer limitierten ” Grand Tour” Lackierung. Wir konnten einen der wenigen Rahmen mit der neuen SRAM AXS Gruppe in unserer Werkstatt aufbauen. Viel Spaß mit dem Video

    1. Yeah… that scale is not calibrated. as someone who owns the new S5 running the same set up with a 80gram lighter seatpost, 20gram heavier saddle and a 350gram lighter wheelset and that weights 7.148kg.

      This “weight” is so misleading

    2. What I like about these videos: not a single word necessary to comment what is done. Just pure state of the art craftsmanship with some contemplative music. For me, building (and fixing) bikes is a kind of meditation.

    3. That front end assembly still scares me a bit, but your vid takes most of the headache out of it; nice step by step. Many thanks! Once I finally get me wrenches on one all the question marks should be resolved. Great vid. A ton of info in less than 30 mins.
