Cervelo Caledonia 5 Road Frameset Glacier, 54cm

The Caledonia 5 Frameset is made for riders who favor the speed and aerodynamics of road-specific designs but are also intrigued by the sense of adventure supplied by gravel riding. Cervelo combines a relatively short wheelbase and 936 gram frame to satisfy the efficiency needs of a road cyclist. Clearance for 34mm tires provides a forgiving feel for exploring the road less traveled. With a geometry aimed at fine-tuning a balance between Cervelo's R bikes and the Aspero, Cervelo feels confident that the Caledonia is well-suited to adventure riding. Cervelo also focuses on carbon layup with a mindset of increased rider comfort resulting in energy savings to ride faster for longer. Lower modulus carbon contributes to compliance in critical areas concerned with mitigating the jarring effects of hi-mod carbon fiber sections. The result is a frame that responds quickly to accelerations while remaining compliant enough to absorb significant turbulence from the roadways. More speed is to be found at the front-end, complete with fully integrated cable routing and split spacers to ease maintenance. Additionally, hidden fender mounts are onboard, that when used with fenders minimally reduce tire clearance down to 31mm. All in all, the Caledonia 5 ushers in a new breed of bike that satisfies the growing demands of modern, all-terrain cycling. Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive.
