Caledonia-5
FOR YOUR BIG, STUPID RIDES
On the fringes of cycling and triathlon, already endurance-oriented sports, there are athletes pushing their bodies and equipment to the limit. Ultra-distance, but ultra-fast. We call these Big, Stupid Rides, and athletes around the world have been exploring just how big and just how stupid those rides can be. The Caledonia-5 is their tool of choice. The fit and handling are geared toward comfort, but without sacrificing the Cervelo race bike feeling.
IN-FRAME STORAGE
New on the Caledonia-5, the in-frame storage is designed for a tube, small multi-tool, and a CO2 canister. Out of sight, out of mind, until your tire makes the bad noise. The hatch is easily removable even with gloves on—just flip the lock and pull. It’s convenient, and eliminates interference with lightweight bags or lights.
ONE PEACE OF MIND
The new Caledonia-5’s one-piece bar and stem were responsible for a significant part of the weight reduction of the bike, and we know that a perfect fit is a critical part of getting the most out of your new bike. We made 15 different size combinations, and when you buy a Caledonia-5, your Authorized Cervélo Retailer will help you get the right size, for no additional cost.

Developed and tested using Turbulent Aero technology, the 42|49 is designed for everything you do, providing all-day capability with aerodynamic sensibilities. Raced at events as varied as Paris-Roubaix and the Giro D’Italia, the 42|49 wheels have a lifetime warranty.
All Cervélo bikes are aero bikes. And when you’re on three days of panini and candy, running on fumes into Checkpoint One, you’ll appreciate the free speed. The completely internal housing and aero tube shapes team up to help you do battle against the wind.
Caledonia-5 is meant for all-day riding, high-pace group rides, and routes featuring less-than-ideal tarmac. We made some key improvements on the new bike. The bearing caps are now split so you can swap between the high and low bearing cap without bleeding the brakes if you need to make a fit change.

“The Caledonia-5 is excellent. It’s a bike I feel immediately at home on, and one of the few all-road bikes on the market that feel as rewarding riding it as fast as possible as it does riding it more casually.”Velo
