The S5 is a sport-wide benchmark for speed and aerodynamic efficiency—with the race results to back it up. From Wout van Aert winning the Green Jersey by the biggest margin of victory in modern history, to Simon Yates riding himself into the maglia rosa, S5’s iconic V-stem and bayonet fork are a fixture at the front of the professional peloton. The new S5 builds on that legacy of speed by getting even faster.
The new bike is over 6 Watts faster than its predecessor, 124 grams lighter, and retains the handling, poise, and stability that riders everywhere love. The biggest changes are at the front of the bike, where the most significant aerodynamic performance comes from. The fork legs and head tube got quite a bit deeper, and the all-new, one-piece handlebar/stem builds on the original V-stem concept—and gets even faster.
Cervélo and Reserve co-developed the new Reserve 57|64 Turbulent Aero wheels specifically for use in the S5 frame, completing the aerodynamic system.
The new S5 is 6.3 Watts faster than its predecessor. These gains are realized primarily at the front end of the bike, but the integration of the asymmetric profiles of the seat tube and rear wheel are a significant source as well. Cervélo has long been the aerodynamic leader in the peloton, and we’re confident that the new S5 is at least 5 Watts faster than the bikes of our competitors.
HB19 uses our “Plus-Four” concept, meaning the dimension at the hoods is 4cm narrower than in the drops (e.g. 38cm/42cm). This approach helps riders maintain a more aero body position while their hands are on the hoods, and provides stability in the drops for descending and sprinting. All bar sizes are UCI-legal, even in light of the most recent regulations change.
Despite an increase in surface area, the new S5 is 124 grams lighter than its predecessor. While the increase in fork and head tube depth added weight, we optimized the layup and hardware to make the system lighter.
The new Reserve 57|64 wheelset was co-developed by Reserve and Cervélo, and designed for use in the new S5. The rear wheel’s asymmetry matches the seat tube, ensuring air flows smoothly over both. The new wheelset is 3 Watts faster than the 52|63 wheels, and weighs the same.
Absolutely! We take care of all the assembly work for you. Our experienced mechanics ensure that every bike is fully assembled and goes through a safety check before it's ready for you to collect. So, if you'd like, you can even ride it home from the shop right away!

If you need further information or have specific shipping inquiries, please refer to our Shipping Policy or get in touch with our customer support team for additional details.
Certainly! We offer bike shipping directly to your home. When your bike arrives, it will come fully assembled, although some basic mechanical skills and tools may be needed for the final adjustments.
If you're unsure about assembling the bike yourself, we highly recommend seeking assistance from a local bicycle mechanic. Please note that if you choose to have a third party assemble or inspect your bike, any additional fees incurred will be at your own expense.
Our goal is to ensure that you receive your bike in the best condition possible, and we're here to support you throughout the process. If you have any questions or concerns about the shipping or assembly, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
