The latest Cervélo R5 has arrived at Golden Sports — the first of its kind in our store. Built with SRAM Force E1 AXS, Reserve 32|37 wheels, and Vittoria Corsa Pro tires, this R5 represents the pinnacle of balanced performance. Cervélo now allows riders to select their preferred cockpit and seatpost dimensions when ordering a complete build — a thoughtful change that ensures every rider starts with a perfect fit from day one.

The New Cervélo R5 Arrives at Golden Sports

There’s a certain kind of excitement that only comes with unboxing a truly exceptional bike — the kind that redefines what performance feels like on the road. We’re thrilled to share that the new Cervélo R5 has just arrived at Golden Sports, and this is the very first one to make its way into our store.

Our inaugural build showcases the kind of thoughtful spec that makes the R5 such a compelling modern race bike. It’s equipped with SRAM Force E1 AXS, delivering crisp, precise wireless shifting with the reliability that every serious rider expects. The bike rolls on Reserve 32|37 wheels, an all-rounder setup designed for climbing agility and aerodynamic efficiency. To complement that, we’ve fitted Vittoria Corsa Pro tires paired with TPU tubes, combining low rolling resistance with a smooth, responsive ride feel. Every detail was chosen to enhance performance while keeping the bike true to its lightweight, balanced character.

Beyond the build itself, Cervélo has introduced a meaningful improvement in how full builds are offered. Riders can now select their handlebar width, stem length, and seatpost specification at the time of purchase — a thoughtful change that recognizes the individuality of every cyclist. This small but important update eliminates the need for immediate component swaps, allowing riders to start their experience with a setup that fits perfectly from day one.

The new R5 continues Cervélo’s legacy as one of the most refined climbing and all-round road platforms ever produced — light, composed, and unmistakably purposeful. It’s a race bike, yes, but also a reminder of how balance, precision, and rider fit define true performance.

The first Cervélo R5 is now on display at Golden Sports. We invite you to stop by, see the build in person, and discover what makes this generation of R5 such a remarkable evolution of a modern classic.
