The Cervelo S5 Close up

[@Shadowboost]

Seen the S5 in person and it does look cool, especially in the smaller sizes

[@Southerncyclist]

I have a 2019, the spacers on the head set work exactly the same. Just need longer bolts.

[@TommyBottler]

How is the sizing on those bikes? Are the Cervelo size to height charts accurate? I’ve been told I would need a 51 but at 173cm the Cervelo size chart has me as right in the middle of a 54.

[@cyclingunboxed]

Sadly I can’t really say for this bike. The best advice I can give is to measure up the geometry in your own bike and then compare it to the geometry cervelo have on their website

What is the maximum tire size that can be installed?

[@cyclingunboxed]

For the newest model here we have a 30mm tyre that blows out to 32mm on those Roval wheels. I would think you may be able to squeeze a 34 in there but it would be close!

@@cyclingunboxed Thank you

[@noahhalbfoster6892]

Have heard nothing but horror stories about that front end head set

[@cyclingunboxed]

Do you think this is with the old or the new frame?

[@mogglie]

Really. Isn’t it a pain to live with this head set. My recent bike is with external cabling. But it’s for commuting. So it’s a different bike category all together.

[@Southerncyclist]

I bought my 2019 S5 in 2019. I have never had a problem. 8,700 mikes later. Well one new Bottom Bracket. I also have mechanical shifting. Saved money.

[@ryanpeirce502]

I had the "old frame type" S5 it was an absolute rocket of a bike. Loved the bike. It now sits at Surrey Hills Cycleworks in 3 pieces 😞

[@cyclingunboxed]

Sad times. It’s a bike I would love to try out

[@eto2352]

Still a tank of a bike but that is a massive weight reduction on the new one! If they could make a 7kg S5, they would have an untouchable superbike.

[@cyclingunboxed]

Maybe next gen!

[@gur262]

Oh. So now the forks getting proprietary too😂😅

[@cyclingunboxed]

Everything now days!

[@fede1275]

Mmmh, I don't rate the R8 in pictures or in real life, so it's a no from me 😀

[@cyclingunboxed]

Controversial! I like it

[@garypoyntz6948]

I find this a bit of a misleading video. The head set spacers for both bikes look totally identical even though I realize there may be small dimensional differences and they do insert the same way. The new frame is I believe only 30 grams lighter as advertised not 300g. I've seen the new S5 (2024) frame and fork actually weight and was surprised to see it totalled a few grams more than my 2019 S5 Disc frame and fork which I weight when I built it up in 2019. I too thought the 2024 was lighter as per advertising until then. I suspect there are always manufacturing variances frame to frame. So a bit of smoke and mirrors there. Still a fab bike, I would not trade mine for any other bike.

[@cyclingunboxed]

Curious to know how you think it rides. Good handling, comfortable? I unfortunately haven’t had the chance to ride the bike

[@TheSmallWeener]

Cervélo and Roval wheels. No fucking way!!!!!!

[@cyclingunboxed]

I was waiting for someone to pick up on this 😂

[@nononsense2688]

Bike is stunning and incredibly fast, also incredibly out of my reach lol.

[@cyclingunboxed]

It’s definitely at the higher end of the price range
