FOR YOUR BIG, STUPID RIDES

At Billy Bilsland Cycles we have a deep appreciation for bikes that can handle the diverse terrain and challenging conditions Scotland throws our way.

The Cervélo Caledonia has quickly become a favorite amongst our staff and customers alike, proving itself as an ideal companion for both epic adventures and spirited local rides.

The Caledonia-5 strikes the perfect balance between comfort and performance, a crucial factor on our long, rugged routes. Its ability to absorb road vibrations without sacrificing responsiveness makes those long days in the saddle a joy, not a chore. Plus, the in-frame storage is a clever touch, allowing riders to carry essentials without resorting to bulky saddlebags.

Whether tackling a Highland sportive or chasing Strava segments on the local roads, the Caledonia-5 delivers the speed, comfort, and versatility that Scottish cyclists demand.

It's a bike that truly embodies the spirit of adventure, encouraging us to push our limits and explore the beauty of our country 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

On the outskirts of endurance sports like cycling and triathlon, athletes are pushing the limits with ultra-distance, ultra-fast rides. These "Big, Stupid Rides" are not about bikepacking, but rather about lightweight setups and pushing personal boundaries.

Since the introduction of the Caledonia in 2020, athletes have been exploring the extremes of these rides, whether racing traditional Brevets or new ultras like the Transcontinental.

The Caledonia-5 is designed for this type of long-distance, high-speed racing, prioritizing comfort without sacrificing the Cervelo race bike feel.

Key improvements include in-frame storage for essentials like a multi-tool, tube, and CO2 canister.

Refinement has focused on comfort, making the Caledonia the go-to bike for long rides, whether training or pushing the limits of "Type 2 fun." Dropped seat stays increase vertical flexibility for a more compliant ride, while increased downtube stiffness maintains pro-level responsiveness.

The Caledonia-5 can accommodate wide tires (36mm), has fender mounts, is UCI approved, and comes with a lifetime warranty.

AERODYNAMICS

Every Cervélo bike is designed with aerodynamics in mind.

When you're battling exhaustion and relying on sugary snacks, that extra boost from reduced wind resistance becomes invaluable.

The bike's internal cable routing and aerodynamic tube shapes work together to help you slice through the wind effortlessly.

IN-FRAME STORAGE

This year, the Caledonia-5 features new in-frame storage designed to hold a tube, a small multi-tool, and a CO2 canister.

The hatch is easy to open even when wearing gloves – simply flip the lock and pull.

REFINE AND ENHANCE

The Caledonia-5 is designed for endurance rides, fast group rides, and routes with rough roads.

Cervelo have retained all the features you love and improved minor details, like the split bearing cap that allows for fit adjustments without the need to re-cable.
