THE FASTEST BIKE OF THE MODERN ERA
The S5 has one job—get to the line before everyone else. Under the likes of Wout van Aert, Marianne Vos, and Christophe LaPorte, the new model has already proven itself as a tool without equal. In the 2022 Tour de France, this bike propelled Wout to the highest ever Points Classification score of the modern era. At 480, Wout was some 194 points ahead of his nearest rival—tangible proof that Cervélo keeps delivering aerodynamic gains to our World Tour athletes.
The new S5 has reduced drag by 65 grams, and increased the frame’s surface area while still reducing overall weight. The deeper frame sections maximize the shapes allowed by the UCI. Meanwhile the iconic V-stem has been further refined and a new fork designed to simplify the entire front end.
What’s more, a ground-breaking new wheel design concept has been co-developed with Reserve to increase stability and reduce drag in turbulent aero conditions.
V IS FOR VELOCITY
In pursuit of speed, everyone wants to try different positions to find their most aggressive fit. The S5's iconic V-stem not only inspires confident handling at high speeds, it's now also remarkably simple to dial in your perfect set-up. All the necessary spacers come with the bike, and there’s now only one bolt length, reducing complexity and making the system 53g lighter in the process.
FRAME ENHANCEMENTS
The UCI’s new regulations on aerodynamic design allowed us some additional room to deepen our aero profiles and squeeze 65 more grams of drag performance out of what is already the fastest aero bike on the market. You’ll notice a deeper head tube and BB area, and more aggressive shaping on the trailing edges of the tubes. Since the new S5 is only compatible with electronic shifting, we were able to tidy the dropout a bit, and update the shaping all over the bike
TIRE CLEARANCE
Wider wheels and tires are faster aerodynamically, and more comfortable to boot. S5 comes specced with 28mm tires but has clearance for up to a 34mm (measured) tire. The frame is optimized to complement the wider Reserve 52/63 turbulent aero wheels. In addition to the handling benefits, this saves over 5 watts compared to the previous Reserve wheelset.
HANDLEBAR REFINEMENT
We’ve improved the comfort of the handlebar, and tweaked the shape to get a perfectly flat bar-to-hood transition. We now use a two-bolt interface that allows for infinite tilt adjustments between 0 and 5 degrees.
KEEPING IT SIMPLE
Bike fitters at every level are moving away from longer-offset seat posts, and the new S5 comes stock with a 15mm offset post on most sizes (vs 25mm offset on outgoing S5). The old seat posts are forward-compatible, and we’ll keep the 400mm-long, 25mm offset post in stock for those looking for a more extreme fit.
SRAM INTEGRATED POWER
Red and Force builds include Quarq Zero powermeters integrated into the crank. The integration of a powermeter results in better stiffness, lighter weight, and improved accuracy over aftermarket solutions—and the DZero delivers power measurement accurate to +/- 1.5%, even in variable temperatures.

Why Buy From Us?
Why Buy From Billy Bilsland Cycles?
Why Buy From Billy Bilsland Cycles?
We're one of the most well established bike shops in Scotland and have been selling bikes to Glasgow and far beyond since 1980, so you can be sure that we're not going anywhere 😀
We care about what bike you buy, and we want it to be right bike FOR YOU, not one that would suit us. If you buy your bike from us, we want to keep you as a customer and keep your bike riding perfectly. We offer a free 6 week / 300 mile “tune-up” service, where we tighten up bolts and cables, index your gears and generally sort out any small issues you have after the short bedding in period.
You'll also have priority access to our workshop for repairs or servicing. We never turn away someone who has bought their bike from us, no matter how busy we are. You may have to leave your bike with us for a couple of days, but you'll be at the top of the list.
We offer free loans of a hard-case Bike Box Alan if you're travelling with your bike, just tell us when you need it and we'll book you in.
The best (and cheapest) time to make changes to a bike is at the initial build stage, avoiding the need to re-cable, bleed brakes etc. We can swap your saddle, change stems, wheels, tyres, bars, cranks, bar tape, group-set, pedals, add luggage and mudguards - the list is endless.
If you're ordering online, just select your upgrade or pop a note in the order when checking out.
Very few bikes leave the shop as they came to us, with stem and tyre changes being the most common.
Bikes are fully built up from scratch by our Cytech Level 2 mechanics. Brakes are bedded in on our brake bedding roller. Being situated in Glasgow, we’re used to preparing bikes for our wonderful British weather so everything is greased up to suit a Glasgow winter. Bikes are then buddy checked, test ridden and re-boxed for shipping with minimal assembly at your end.
High-end website sales are likely to be shipped in a hard case requiring minimum rebuild - attach the wheels, fit pedals (remember pedals are specific to the side of the bike) and away you go. We’ll arrange return shipping for the bike box.
Have you had a bike fit? Send us your fit data and we’ll set up the bike to your position.
Small adjustments make such a big difference.
Are the gears low/high enough for you? Do you have the correct tyre width? Favoured tyre brand? Fancy going tubeless? We’ll make suggestions that will improve your cycling enjoyment.
Bike-Fit is a big part of the in-store service, and usually involve swapping saddles, bars and stems. Whether it’s our suggestion or your requirements, we’re here to help you buy your perfect bike.
