R5 Red eTap AXS Road Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

“Riding the R5 Red eTap AXS feels like cheating gravity. The frame stiffness makes every surge count, and the SRAM Red setup delivers an instant, quiet shift whether I’m standing to attack or spinning a long climb. The Reserve wheels and Vittoria tires feel razor sharp on descents, and the one-piece cockpit keeps the handling precise without adding grams. It’s the bike I pick when I want to feel fast all day.”

We chase steep summits and long horizons because that's where the R5 Red eTap AXS comes alive. Cervélo’s featherlight carbon design pairs with SRAM’s top-tier wireless drivetrain to turn every climb into an invitation to push harder, and every descent into a smooth, predictable ribbon of speed. From the first pedal stroke, the bike responds with an immediacy that feels purpose-built for big days in the mountains.

Engineered around a 651g frame and trimmed with Reserve’s premier wheel pairing, the R5 Red eTap AXS build keeps weight down without sacrificing stiffness or precision. The one-piece HB18 carbon cockpit eliminates excess grams while sharpening steering feel, and the Vittoria Corsa Pro Speed TLR tires keep rolling fast over long alpine routes. Whether we're dreaming of high-mountain stages or weekend KOM quests, this is the bike that keeps us reaching for new peaks.

Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
