Cervelo - RA Cycles

Cervelo

Cervelo was founded in Montreal in 1995 on a straightforward premise: use engineering data to make riders faster, without being constrained by what bikes were supposed to look like. That approach — wind tunnel testing, computational fluid dynamics, evidence over convention — has defined the brand from its first time trial prototype to the bikes that carried Team Visma | Lease a Bike to all three Grand Tour victories in 2023. The current lineup at RA Cycles covers the full range of what Cervelo builds: the S5 aero road bike, the lightweight R5, the endurance-oriented Caledonia-5, the Aspero-5 for gravel, and the P5 time trial and triathlon platform.

About Cervelo

Cervelo was founded in Montreal in 1995 by engineers Gérard Vroomen and Phil White, who met at McGill University while Vroomen was developing a time trial bike using wind tunnel data and CFD analysis — tools most of the industry dismissed as unnecessary at the time. No existing manufacturer would build it, so they built it themselves. That origin story runs through every Cervelo since: a data-first, aerodynamics-led approach to design that has made the brand a fixture at the highest levels of professional racing. Cervelo now supplies Team Visma | Lease a Bike, which made history in 2023 by winning the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia, and Vuelta a España in a single season.

RA Cycles stocks the complete current Cervelo lineup. The S5 is Cervelo's aero road platform, built around proprietary tube shapes and a fully integrated cockpit. The R5 is the lightweight option — designed for climbing and days where total weight matters more than aerodynamics. The Caledonia-5 takes a more relaxed geometry with wider tire clearance, making it equally at home on long endurance rides and mixed surfaces. The Aspero-5 is Cervelo's dedicated gravel platform. The P5 rounds out the range as one of the most aerodynamically refined triathlon and time trial bikes available — favored at the professional level for the same reasons it performs for age-groupers and long-course triathletes. All complete bikes are built with electronic groupsets and start at $10,100.
