Whats the difference between Cervelo S3 and S5?
New Cervelo S3 aero road bike – Geometry Headtube & seattube angles are the same as the S5, but the S3 features slightly higher stack and slightly shorter reach for a more comfortable, still aero fit. The new S3 also retains that larger 61cm frame size that the S5 eliminated.
What is the difference between Cervélo R3 and R5?
The R3 doesn’t feel as aggressive as the R5 – its stack is 8mm taller – and if you were to make me choose between them for a 100-mile ride, the R3 would get picked because of it. The other big difference between the two bikes is that the R3 doesn’t transfer as much of the road through to the rider as the R5 does.
Is Cervelo S3 good for climbing?
The S3 is remarkable because, while aero, it is also very good for climbing.
Is the Cervelo S-series the same as the S3?
Cervélo S3 Notably, Cervélo has altered the geometry of the S-Series, taking it further from the aggressive S5 and closer to the R3. The stack is now 13mm higher than the S5 in size 54, and the seat stays are skinnier to add compliance. This said, the S3 is still very much an aero race bike.
Do Cervelo still make the S3?
If you are always chasing your next fastest ride, the new S3 aero road bike will give you every possible advantage. We made the S3 more aerodynamic and with an optimized balance of stiffness and compliance. The result is increased speed, power transfer, and comfort.
How heavy is a Cervelo S3?
about 15.5 lbs
Besides, if the whole bike weighs under 16.5 lbs with 1770 gram wheels, it is pretty easy to make it weigh about 15.5 lbs with just a wheel upgrade! All in all, if it fits you well, the Cervelo S3 is a really nice riding and fast bike – arguably the best riding truly aero road bikes available.
Is the Cervélo S5 a good climbing bike?

What makes the S5 so special?
The S5 prioritizes aerodynamic performance and stiffness, making it a platform preferred by the fastest sprinters in the world. You’ve no doubt noticed the now-iconic V-Stem. We optimized that shape to deliver the best possible performance in the wind, hid the cables inside, and made enough bar/stem/stack options to fit just about anyone.
