‘The mantra with designing the new bike was “simplify and enhance”,’ says Cervélo’s director of product management, Maria Benson. ‘So there are no revolutionary steps here; more this is a refined design.’
By way of evidence for the performance of the new, enhanced S5, Cervélo reminds us that Wout van Aert used it last year to rack up the highest ever sprint points in a modern-era Tour de France, some 480*. Van Aert is quite good, of course, but I have every reason to believe the S5 helped, because this thing is quick.
