CERVELO S5 ULTEGRA 8020 DISC ROAD BIKE 2020

The Cervelo S5 Ultegra 8020 Disc Road Bike is Cervélo’s latest aerodynamically biased machine. The TrueAero design of the carbon frame improves airflow around the bike whilst also increasing stiffness in the areas that matter; around the bottom bracket and head tube. The V-shaped stem and handlebar provide all the advantages of a one-piece design but add flexibility as the stem and handlebar are actually separate and are fully adjustable so it's easier to find the optimal position for both aerodynamics and power output.

It may sit below their famed Dura-Ace groupset, but Shimano’s mechanical Ultegra components give nothing away in terms of performance, with the shifting across the 11-speed cassette being sharp and accurate. Race speed isn’t just about straight lines, and so the hydraulic disc brakes are a welcome addition, giving extra confidence to attack the bends even in wet conditions.
