Cervelo Caledonia-5 Rival AXS (2024)

Product Description

On the fringes of cycling and triathlon, already endurance-oriented sports, there are athletes pushing their bodies and equipment to the limit. Ultra-distance, but ultra-fast. We call these Big, Stupid Rides, and since the introduction of the Caledonia in ***0, athletes around the world have been exploring just how big and just how stupid those rides can be. These athletes reach for the Caledonia*5. Its built to handle long-distance, high-speed racing—with fit and handling geared toward comfort, but without sacrificing the Cervelo race bike feeling.

For the new Caledonia*5, we focused on improvements that would be meaningful for the people pushing it to its limits. The biggest thing youll notice is the addition of the in-frame storage first seen on P-Series. This isnt designed to fit a burrito—theres only room for a small multi-tool, tube, and a CO2 canister. Then we looked to comfort: The seat stays are dropped, similar to Aspero, which makes that rear triangle more acute, and more vertically flexible. At the same time, theres a bit more downtube stiffness to maintain that pro-level responsiveness Caledonia is known for. You can still stuff some big tires (*6mm) in there, and every bike comes with fender mounts.
