The Cervélo S5 Ultegra Di2 is a pure aero race bike built for riders who want free speed at high pace. Cervélo made the latest S5 faster and lighter, then paired it with Reserve 57|64TA wheels, a one-piece carbon cockpit, and Shimano Ultegra Di2. It is direct, aggressive, and made to hold speed when the road is fast and the pointy end matters.

Who the S5 is for

For when every watt counts, and there’s no room to trade aero for weight. Drop rides, flat-to-rolling road races, lead-outs, crits, and long pulls in the wind are where the Cervelo S5 comes into its own. It begs for more watts, more mph, and it comes alive at race speeds. It suits the rider who demands a stiff platform to make the break stick, or sprint to the line. It rewards the rider who can maintain an aggressive aero position to bank as many watts as possible.

KEY FEATURES

Aerodynamics

The new S5 is 6.3 watts faster than its predecessor, with the biggest gains coming from the deeper front end and the way the frame and rear wheel work together. In practice, that points squarely at the kind of riding where speed compounds: race pace, breakaways, lead-outs, and flat or rolling roads where drag matters most. Independent wind tunnel testing shows the S5 as one of the fastest UCI-legal road bikes on the market, next to the Factor ONE.

Integrated Cockpit

Cervélo’s HB19 one-piece bar and stem uses a narrower hood position than the drops to help riders achieve a narrower, aerodynamic posture, while still keeping stability when it is time to sprint or descend. Just as important, Cervélo built the S5 around multiple cockpit size options so the fit can stay precise instead of forcing a one-shape-fits-all solution.

Stiffness & Weight

The S5 backs up its aero advantage with real race-bike stiffness and a lighter frame than the previous generation. The current S5 is 124 grams lighter while retaining the handling and stability riders expect, and the S5 platform has long been built around aerodynamic efficiency and sprint-ready rigidity. Paired with Ultegra Di2, deep Reserve 57|64TA wheels, and DT Swiss 240 hubs, this build hits the sweet spot for riders who want top-tier speed without drifting into a full superbike price bracket.

Cervelo S5 Force AXS, Five Black, Size 56 FAQS

Is the Cervélo S5 a pure aero bike?

Yes. The S5 is Cervélo’s top aero road race bike, built around speed, stiffness, and efficiency at race pace, but don’t get it twisted - it’s still light. 16.3lbs in a size 56 with Dura Ace.
Does the S5 Ultegra Di2 include a power meter?

Yes. Cervélo’s current S5 Ultegra Di2 build includes a 4iiii power meter.
What wheels come on the S5 Ultegra Di2?

It comes with Reserve 57|64TA carbon wheels and DT Swiss 240 hubs.
What kind of rider is the S5 best for?

Road racers and fast riders who want maximum speed on rolling terrain and a stiff frame to push maximum watts.
Is the S5 comfortable for all-day rough roads?

It is more race-focused than comfort-focused, so fit and tire choice matter, but with clearance for 34c measured tires, and a compliant rear triangle, it can hold its own on sub-par road surfaces.
How much faster is the 2026 Cervélo S5?

The 2026 S5 is approximately 6.3 watts faster than the previous model (at 50 km/h). These gains are achieved through a more aggressive "nose" on the head tube, deeper fork profiles, and the new Reserve 57|64 wheelset, which alone accounts for roughly 3 watts of that total saving.

Why the Cervelo S5

We carry Cervélo because of their dedication to the pointy end - when the goal is speed, few brands have a clearer point of view, and even fewer brands have their history of winning as validation. The S5 is one of those bikes that feels made for the front of the race, not the middle of the market. For riders chasing wheels, rolling hard pacelines, or just looking for the fastest bike for a committed road ride, the S5 makes instant sense.
