Can someone please tell me the length of seatpost? 350 or 400 mm?

About 360mm to saddle rail.

Thanks.

Do you know if it's available in a bigger length?

[grantr]

I think they just have the one length, but Darimo advertises longer or custom length in this shape.

I'm considering an R5 but before putting down any money, does anyone know when/if Cervelo will release an updated version?

No time soon for update. Cervelo doesnt follow the one bike to rule them all therory so this bike has another 2 years minimum.The bike is a climbing bike and there are no real gains to be made with the current design being pretty much perfect. Module weight is already near pefect with a 710 gram frame, 350 gram fork and only the 190 gram seatpost being slightly heavy but thats mostly in the seat clamp area and cheap aftermarket options are available. The frame stiffness is outstanding while not being overly jarring. Handling is razor sharp and the bike turs like it's on rails and the snappiness accelerating out of saddle is the best I've felt and I've ridden most of the top high end bikes. Aero is good enough to easilt stay in the wheels if your racing or riding fondos and deeper wheels and a narrow aero bar bring it close to more aero all-arounders. This bike is a Unicorn.

Good to hear such a positive review.

I know the bike was released in 2021 (MY22) so didn't know if that meant a refresh next year 2024 (MY25) as that would be the standard 3 year refresh cycle. Does Cervelo not follow that schedule?

The previous R5 Disc was either 3-4 years I believe. That MY21/22 was released in October 21 I believe so likely October 2024 at the earliest if Cervelo does decide to update. I think the R5 doesn't sell nearly as well as the S5/Caledonia/Soloist so I can't see them rushing to update a bike that they've already squeezed so much performance from. The Caledonia and Aspero will be the next bikes updated.

Hmmmm I have blasphemy on mind.
Since Soloist front end is convertible to an R5 front end, can I also convert R5 front end to Soloist front end for easy travel?
I'm guessiing noone has done it (cause you're not crazy) but I can't see why this wouldn't be possible.

I just bought a 2022 R5 frameset in 54cm Five Black. Since I've seen a bunch of reports of Cervelo frames being poor quality particularly in the BB shell dimensions, I sent the frame and fork to Ruckus Composites to do ultrasound inspection and measure the BB shell. They didn't detect any issues in the carbon and the BB shell diameter was 46.00 +-0.05mm.

Major weights:
702g R5 frame 54cm, no hardware
351g R5 fork 54cm (uncut), no hardware
262g HB13 handlebars 42cm
183g SP24 seatpost with clamp, +15mm setback 360mm
145g ST31 stem with face plate (original version - haven't weighed the recall parts yet) -8deg 100mm, no top cap or screw

Other weights:
19g ST31 top cap and screw
29g rear axle
23g front axle
13g brake hose tubing
5g stem spacer 5mm
2.5g stem spacer 2.5mm
26g upper headset bearing
33g lower headset bearing
6g BB cover
7g headset split ring (blue)
8g stem cone spacer 7mm
24g stem cone spacer 22mm
18g seatpost clamp assembly
2g seatpost clamp cover
29g fork steerer expander
17g derailleur hanger and nut
1.1g bottle cage screw M5x18
7g front derailleur hanger
1.3g front derailleur hanger screw M4x12 countersunk
4.2g fork axle insert

Does anyone here ride this bike with a saddle height around 760-765 mm in size 54?

[LRB23]

Hi everyone,

Slightly late to the party but I’m considering an R5 build with the aim to go as light weight as my budget will allow.

Does everyone still rate this bike? It has a lot of wins under its belt. I know it’s approaching close to a refresh but the feedback appears to be positive, though limited in number. I was expecting to see a forum full of responses and comments.

Are there any concerns about the pressfit BB?

I can see a few areas where I reduce the weight starting with the handlebars. Reading the comments it appears to be ok to use an aftermarket handlebar set up for a round tube as opposed to a D-shape.

Stock wheels (Ultegra build) look to be another area for weight saving. I plan to use a lighter crank and lighter saddle.

Any feedback and tips would be greatly appreciated.
