  • It's hard to argue with a bike that has been ridden to a Tour de France and Vuelta a Espana win (but come on... really? You can't win the Giro? 🙄). Watch on for all the details of the excellent Cervelo R5.

    I own the cervelo R3 which I bought in 2014 and it is the best bike I have ever owned! Smooth riding and super lightweight at 16 lbs with rim brakes and 28 c tires and a cobble gobbler seat post from specialized.

    I only go up to descend and I'm really eying the R5

    Err, I’m still riding my Litespeed from Colorado Cyclist. Thanks for the video.

    I love my R5 but one note - its the last model year they made with rim brakes which I still prefer over my SL7 with disk brakes

    • @mikesbikes
      @mikesbikes  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thats saying something! The SL7 is a really nice ride too. Hope you can still enjoy it!

    • @recrevs963
      @recrevs963 ปีที่แล้ว

      Why you prefer rim brakes. I have both though better bike has disc which i think work a bit better. Not a racer or crazy for weight.

      @@recrevs963 Personally - I feel my ability to modulate my stopping needs with rim brakes works smoother than my disk brakes & I ride in Colorado with many mtns and have not had any over-heating issues with my carbon rim brake wheels - we are all limited by a similar tire patch that contacts the road and locking up the rims under full brake is not recommended which I find happens more frequently with my disk brakes. Granted, disk brakes work better in wet conditions - but in the end, everyone should ride what they personally enjoy best.

    Mike, Im between a Canyon CS SLX 8 Force or This Cervelo R5 SRAM Force. What is your opinion about it? (Currently I have a 2016 S3 and Im happy, I need it mostly for climbing)

    Ayeeee it's Chris!
    Are we gonna see Team MB's riding Cervelo in the upcoming races, instead of the TCR???

    • @mikesbikes

      The TCR was outstanding this season!

    Cervelo R5 is identical to Giant TCR geometry wise.

    I weigh 195 lbs, can a carbon frame support my weight?

    • @WhoEls
      @WhoEls ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Easily, past 250 it starts to get problematic.

    Is it the real king of the mountain? I dunno, Chris, you tell me!

    A $4k difference between Ultegra (Force) and Dura Ace (Red) is pure scam.

    • @mikesbikes
      @mikesbikes  ปีที่แล้ว

      But RED makes it possible to go over 50mph. Cant do that on Force. 😉

  • @rudyelizondo1935
    @rudyelizondo1935 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have an R3 2014 and it is smoother and at 16 lbs super light with rim brakes.
    Best economic bike ever!

    Great video, but boo for using "privilege" in such a cringe way.

      thank you! 😂 I just finished proofing it... you beat me to the finish!

    Another cheap Far East sweatshop fabricated cookie cutter frameset sold for a silly high price as if it’s some artisan made custom frameset. New suckers are born every minute. 😆

    • @apair4002
      @apair4002 ปีที่แล้ว

      The far east sweatshop made good quality bike, and the brand from west/europe selling it at higher price.
      You think SL7 better than Polygon Helios (Indonesia made)?

    • @recrevs963
      @recrevs963 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sure you might be right. What do you suggest instead then?
