From Racing In Rainbows To Local Laps

From Marianne Vos winning a rainbow jersey in the first year of R5-CX’s existence, to Wout Van Aert dominating kerstperiode races, to Fem Van Empel three-peating World Championships from 2023 to 2025, R5-CX has delivered more podiums and wins per outing than any bike we’ve ever made. It’s the platonic ideal of a cyclocross bike—simple, efficient, and incredibly fast. There’s an enormous amount of clearance for mud, a seatpost that won’t twist in a crash, and tidy internal routing to keep the elements at bay.
