2023 Cervelo S5 aero road bike drops drag with subtle reshaping

At first glance, the new 2023 Cervelo S5 isn’t radically different looking than its predecessor. But with the UCI updating its rules about tube dimensions and ratios, they’re joining the fray of brands taking full advantage of the new aerodynamic opportunities., they say the system drops a whopping 65g of drag. And they did this while increasing total surface area, yet also making it lighter.

The result? The bike helps Wout van Aert take a commanding points lead in this year’s Tour de France, capturing an impressive 480 points in the Points Classification. Oh, and Jumbo Visma rode Cervelos to three overall category wins, with Jonas Vingegaard capturing the Yellow and Polka Dot jerseys, and van Aert taking Green.

The downtube has three bottle cage bolts, letting you run a single bottle lower, or move it up to make room for a seat tube bottle. Interesting that they’ve covered and painted over the Vindegaard’s lower mount…because marginal gains.The fork is still the single-piece design with a front fairing, using an hourglass shape. The legs are deeper, particularly at the top, with slight tweaks to the way it fits with the wheels to optimize aerodynamics around modern, wider tires and rims.

The V-Stem is updated to use a single bolt length, and all spacers come with the bike, making it easier to adjust your position. It’s also 53g lighter, and has a better flats-to-hoods shaping and the ability to adjust the angle from 0º to 5º.
