Size Guide

The Cervélo S5 Red XPLR AXS 1 Road Bike remains a leading example of speed and aerodynamic precision, proven by standout performances like Wout van Aert’s historic Green Jersey win and Simon Yates’ maglia rosa achievement.

Building on this legacy, the latest S5 is over 6 Watts faster and 124 grams lighter than the previous model, while maintaining the handling and stability riders expect.

Key aerodynamic improvements focus on the front end, with deeper fork legs and head tube, alongside a redesigned one-piece handlebar/stem that enhances the original V-stem design. The new Reserve 57|64 Turbulent Aero wheels, co-developed with Reserve, perfectly complement the frame’s aerodynamic profile.

KEY FEATURES

  • Aero Aero Aero
    The new S5 is 6.3 Watts faster than its predecessor. These gains are realized primarily at the front end of the bike, but the integration of the asymmetric profiles of the seat tube and rear wheel are a significant source as well. Cervélo has long been the aerodynamic leader in the peloton, and are confident that the new S5 is at least 5 Watts faster than the bikes of competitors.
  • One-Piece Handlebar/Stem
    HB19 uses the “Plus-Four” concept, meaning the dimension at the hoods is 4cm narrower than in the drops (e.g. 38cm/42cm). This approach helps riders maintain a more aero body position while their hands are on the hoods, and provides stability in the drops for descending and sprinting. All bar sizes are UCI-legal, even in light of the most recent regulations change.
  • Not just faster. Lighter, too.
    Despite an increase in surface area, the new S5 is 124 grams lighter than its predecessor. While the increase in fork and head tube depth added weight, we optimized the layup and hardware to make the system lighter.
  • Reserve 57|64 - Designed for S5:
    The new Reserve 57|64 wheelset was co-developed by Reserve and Cervélo, and designed for use in the new S5. The rear wheel’s asymmetry matches the seat tube, ensuring air flows smoothly over both. The new wheelset is 3 Watts faster than the 52|63 wheels, and weighs the same.
  • ONE PEACE OF MIND
    The new S5’s one-piece bar and stem is a big part of the bike’s increase in aerodynamic performance, but aerodynamic improvements are limited if the bike doesn’t fit you perfectly. They made nine different size combinations, and when you buy an S5, Billy Bilsland Cyles will help you get the right bar/stem combo, for no additional cost.

Why Buy From Us?

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.
