The new Cervélo S5 is finally here. And its existence has been one of the worst kept secrets in cycling. Despite only launching at the end of
July, the aero race bike already has quite the palmarès to its name thanks to the exploits of Jumbo-Visma.
Ridden by freshly-minted Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard and his compadres, it’s seemingly been at the sharp end of this season’s racing since Wout van Aert piloted it to victory in Omloop Het Nieuwsblad back in February.
Perhaps the most obvious changes compared to the outgoing S5 are the new tube shapes. The release confirms that the frame’s aero profiles have been deepened, a product of the relaxing of UCI regulations. This is most noticeable at the head tube and bottom bracket area, and is a trend seen on other recently released aero bikes, such as Trek’s updated Madone.
Elsewhere the trailing edges of the tubes are more aggressively shaped, while the rear dropouts have been simplified a little due to the frame being compatible with electronic groupsets only, like the latest R5.
