Cervelo R5 Red XPLR eTap AXS Road Bike Black/Bronze, 56cm

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I like this build for riders who want a pure climbing bike with a modern twist. The 1x XPLR setup keeps everything clean and quiet, and the wide gearing is perfect for long, steep days in the mountains. It still feels incredibly light under power, but the stability on descents really stands out compared to older super-light road bikes.""We chase big climbs and quiet roads where every pedal stroke counts, and the Cervélo R5 Red XPLR eTap AXS Road Bike is built for exactly those days. It feels light and eager on the way up, encouraging a smooth cadence as the miles stack and the elevation adds up. When the road tilts back down, the bike stays calm and predictable, letting us focus on the line ahead instead of managing the ride. The Red XPLR eTap AXS drivetrain brings a clean, modern approach to performance road riding, pairing a simple 1x setup with a wide gear range that shines on sustained climbs and rolling terrain. Combined with the R5’s refined carbon frame and integrated cockpit, the result is a road bike that blends efficiency, control, and confidence. It’s a setup made for riders who value ride feel as much as speed and want a climbing bike that’s ready for long days and big goals. Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help."
