It was the bike Wout van Aert used for his stage victories at this year’s Tour de France and – just after the race finished – it was revealed as the updated model!
One of the new colours is this deep blue / white combo.
Refreshed, tweaked and improved, Bowral Classic Major Bike Partner Cervelo Australia have released details of the latest model.
The 2022 Cervelo S5 features deeper frame sections to maximize the shapes allowed by the UCI, a new front end and fork design along with increased wheel and tire clearance.
Cervelo say they have reduced overall drag by 65 grams and also reduced the bike’s overall weight.
‘Wider wheels and tires are faster aerodynamically, and more comfortable,’ said a Cervelo rep at the launch just after the Tour.
The front end has been reshaped and adds to the improved aerodynamics of the build.
‘The S5 comes specced with 28mm tires but has clearance for up to a 34mm (measured) tire. The frame is optimized to complement the wider Reserve 52/63 turbulent aero wheels. In addition to the handling benefits, this saves over 5 watts compared to the previous Reserve wheelset.’
‘We’ve improved the comfort of the handlebar, and tweaked the shape to get a perfectly flat bar-to-hood transition. We now use a two-bolt interface that allows for infinite tilt adjustments between 0 and 5 degrees.’
RRP’s start at $7600 for the S5 frameset, $12,500 for the bike with Shimano Ultegra Di2 and $17,500 for the S5 with Dura Ace 12-speed Di2.
