S5 Red XPLR AXS Road Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"When we want the fastest aero road bike with the latest tech, the S5 Red XPLR AXS 1 is our pick. This build is crazy fast, lighter than ever, and the new Reserve wheels are stable even in crosswinds. The integrated cockpit and V-stem are all about speed, and SRAM Red XPLR AXS gives us precise wireless shifting for any race or ride."

We reach for the Cervélo S5 Red XPLR AXS 1 when only the fastest, most advanced aero road bike will do. Cervélo’s legendary S5 platform has been a fixture at the front of the pro peloton, and this latest version pushes the boundaries even further. The iconic V-stem and deepened bayonet fork slice through the wind, while the all-new, integrated one-piece handlebar and stem refine the S5’s already stellar aerodynamics. Co-developed Reserve 57/64 Turbulent Aero wheels pair perfectly with the S5’s asymmetric seat tube, ensuring smooth airflow and incredible stability—even in gusty crosswinds. SRAM’s top-tier Red XPLR AXS 1 wireless groupset delivers crisp, reliable shifting and a wide-range cassette for tackling any course. Every detail, from the lightweight carbon layup to the UCI-legal cockpit, is dialed for speed, stability, and podium-worthy performance.

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.
