The Cervelo R5CA, Cervelo’s Latest Superbike

ByIan

RCACervelo introduced the new RCA today.   This “Made in USA” super bike showcases all that Cervelo can do today with technology in one refined race oriented package.  Some highlights:

  • Sub 670 gram frame
  • Squoval3 tube shape offers over 7 watts less drag than the standard R5
  • Next generation composites – 3M™ Powerlux™ in the frame, and Integran/PowerMetal Nanovate™ nickel coating on the fork.
  • Hollow dropouts
  • Stiffness equivalent to the R5CA

While the R5CA runs $10,000 for the frameset, the commitment to forward thinking engineering developed in projects like the R5CA and now the RCA are what create great value bikes like the R3 105 ($2600, ready to ride).  Trickle down technology helps rider’s of all levels and budgets take advantage of very similar technology.

The R5CA has limited availability, but is actually available at the time of this press release.   If you are interested give us a call and we can get your name on one!  Visit Cervelo’s R5CA page for more information.
