From Backcountry
Cervelo built the S5 Red AXS 1x around a reworked carbon frame that trims drag and weight from the outgoing S5, with the biggest gains concentrated at the fork and head tube. A single-ring AXS drivetrain removes the front derailleur entirely, and a shallower wheelset keeps rotating weight down for a build that comes in under 15 pounds. The one-piece bar and stem carries that same aero focus into the front end, cutting bulk without adding extra hardware to dial in fit. What Our GearheadĀ® Experts Are Saying:"Deep into a hard group ride, I've got one less decision to make every time the road pitches up. There's no front derailleur to think about, just a single ring and the next gear."Heads up!
