Cervelo S5 Frameset - LTD Lupine
Cervélo S5 Frame – Extreme aerodynamics and pure speed for road cycling
The Cervélo S5 frame has been an absolute benchmark in the world of aero competition bikes for years. Designed to dominate the most important races on the international calendar, it combines aerodynamic efficiency, stiffness, and lightness in an iconic and recognizable design, chosen by the best World Tour professionals.
Uncompromising speed
The new generation of the S5 evolves an already winning platform, becoming:
- over 6 watts faster than the previous version
- 124 grams lighter
- even more stable and responsive
The result is a frame designed to maximize speed in every condition, from sprints to breakaways, up to time trials.
Advanced Aerodynamics
Every detail of the S5 has been developed to reduce air resistance:
- New fork and head tube with more pronounced profiles
- Total front integration to improve aerodynamic flow
- Asymmetric seat tube optimized with the rear wheel
Wind tunnel tests show an advantage of:
- 6.3 Watts compared to the previous model (at 30 mph)
- at least 5 Watts compared to main competitors
HB19 One-Piece Integrated Handlebar
The Cervélo HB19 monocoque carbon cockpit introduces the “Plus-Four” concept:
- top grip 4 cm narrower than the bottom grip
- more aerodynamic position uphill and on flat terrain
- greater stability downhill and in sprints
9 size combinations available, all compliant with UCI regulations, with the possibility of replacement within 60 days for a perfect fit.
Optimized lightness
Despite the increase in aerodynamic surfaces, the frame has been lightened thanks to:
- carbon layup optimization
- complete hardware overhaul
The result is a perfect balance between reduced weight, stiffness, and aero performance.
Integration with Reserve 57|64 Turbulent Aero wheels
Developed in collaboration with Reserve, the new wheels:
- are designed in the wind tunnel together with the frame
- improve airflow thanks to their asymmetric design
- guarantee +3 Watts advantage over the previous model
Professionals' choice
The Cervélo S5 has been a protagonist in the biggest international competitions, used by champions such as:
- Wout van Aert (Green Jersey, modern victory record)
- Simon Yates (Pink Jersey)
A symbol of speed and innovation in professional cycling.

A Complete Guide to Bike Sizes
Foreword: Not all bike sizes are the same
Each type of bike has a specific frame and often uses a different size scale. For example, a road bike with a 54cm frame might be considered a medium size by one brand, but a large by another.
Bicycle adjustment margins
Some types of bikes, like gravel bikes, offer a wide range of adjustments, adapting to different body types. Other models, however, have limitations in this regard. This is an important aspect to consider.
How to use size charts
We've created a simple guide to help you find the right bike size:
- Check out our size charts for each bike type.
- Learn more with specific tips to help you make the right choice.
Size Charts: Find Your Perfect Bike
Gravel and road bikes
Sizes are based on the length of the top tube (in cm), which determines the reach of the bike.
| Cut | Recommended height | Horizontal tube length |
|---|---|---|
| XS | Up to 157 cm | 48-50 cm |
| S | 157-167 cm | 50-53 cm |
| M | 168-178 cm | 53-56 cm |
| THE | 178-185 cm | 56-58 cm |
| XL | Over 185cm | 58-62 cm |
For gravel, measurements may vary slightly due to different geometries, but remain similar.
Mountain bike
MTBs are measured in inches, based on the seat tube.
| Cut | Recommended height | Size (in inches) |
|---|---|---|
| XS | Up to 157 cm | 14"-16" |
| S | 157-167 cm | 15"-17" |
| M | 168-178 cm | 16"-19" |
| THE | 178-185 cm | 18"-20" |
| XL | Over 185cm | 20"-23" |
Sizes also vary depending on the type of MTB: full-suspension , hardtail or fat bike .
Children's bikes

| 1-3 years | 12" |
| 2-4 years | 14" |
| 4-6 years | 16" |
| 5-8 years | 20" |
