Cervélo S5, SRAM Red Etap AXS, 2023, Sapphire Ice / Purple, 51cm

The Cervélo S5 has long been hailed as the fastest bike on the road, and now it's back with even more impressive upgrades. Cervélo pioneered the aero design, and with the new S5, they've only expanded their lead over the competition. At the 2022 Tour de France, the S5 played a crucial role in propelling Jonas Vingegaard to the yellow jersey and helping Wout van Aert dominate the green jersey race. With improvements to its aerodynamics, the S5 is more efficient than ever, thanks to the latest UCI regulations, reducing aero drag by an additional 65 grams. A deeper head tube, refined bottom bracket area, and more aggressive tube shaping make the 2024 S5 the most aero version yet. One of the standout features of the S5, the iconic V-Stem, has also been upgraded for even greater convenience and speed. Designed for optimal aerodynamic performance and better bike handling at high speeds, the V-Stem minimizes airflow turbulence over the top tube and around the rider, reducing wind resistance.
