Cervelo launches all-new Caledonia - First look gallery
Cervelo extends capabඣꦜility of road bike range with new Caledonia all road race bike
Cervelo has released the Caledonia – a new bike that it describe as a modern road bike combining dura🧔bility, lightweight and aerodynamics.
Inspireღd by the team-only R3 Mud – a bike ridden by Johan Van Summeren at Paris-Roubaix – the Caledonia is designed as a blend of Cervelo's R5 road bikes and the Aspero gravel 💙bike. The Caledonia fills the gap catering to the all-road and endurance market. Cervelo's goal was to produce a fast road bike that was still versatile and comfortable enough to cover large mileage, rough road surfaces and even a little gravel.
With that in mind, Cervelo has created a bike that has new geometry and handling, clearance for up to 700x34c tyres, aero cable management a🔯nd integrated accessory mounts, including full proprietary mudguard compatibility.

Cervelo has manipulated the geometry for the Caledonia, increasing the wheelbase and slackening the head angle to increase stability over the R series bikes on rough surfaces. As this is to be used as 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Team Sunweb's Roubaix bike, 💃Cervelo didn't want to lose cornering sharpness and have increased the rear centre, lowered the bottom bracket and increased the trail. Cervelo says it has slowed the handling down a little compared to its road bikes, specifically for the demands of Roubaix, reasoning that a comfortable and confident rider will be able to race faster.
Sticking 🦹to what they know, Cervelo has used tube shapes from its current library to construct the Caledonia. Having previous experience working with the attributes of the tubes, Cervelo has been able to add the desired compliance and stiffness based on the characteristics of a tube's shape.
To create a bike that can be raced on poorly maintained surfaces and pavé, it has to be durable enough to deal with vibrations, torsional stresses and impacts. Differe♊nt carbon fibres have different properties, so Ce𓃲rvelo has used strong lower-modulus carbon in key areas to protect the stiffer, lighter but more brittle hi-mod fibres. Cervelo has modelled the Caledonia to match the stiffness of the Aspero gravel bike.
Frame weights for the Caledonia-5 are claimed to be a 936g frame and 370g fork. The lower-spec Caledonia, which doesn't featureꦿ the integrated cabling or seat clamp, comes in at 1,031g for the frame and 432g for the fork. Cervelo rate both frames as having the same qualities in stiffness.

Mechanical, electrical and hydraulic cables have all been hidden away, routed internally through an updated version of the S3's interaction, using a D-shaped steerer and split spacers, which have reduced complexity and save 200g. This certainly makes for an extremely clean front end, although there's a🍰 limitation when it comes to stem compatibility.
Cervelo is only offering the Caledonia in a single fit profile. Ho෴wever, stack can be adjusted using different headset bearing caps and spacers to offer a range between an aggressive position, mimicking a slammed R3, to a taller stack than the tallest C3.
Mounts are integrated allowing mu🌃dguards, lights and computers to be attached without affecting the aerodynamics or structure of your bike.
The pre-release Caledoni🌞a-5 Ultegra Di2 model we were lucky enough to get a look at was specced with a Shimano Ultegra Di2 11-speed drivetrain, running a 52/36 crankset and an 11-34 cassette. The wheels came from Santa Cruz, using DT Swiss DT370 hubs, built into carbon Reserve 35mm rims, with a 21mm inner width, which are tubeless-ready. The tyres fitted were Vittoria Rubino Pro TLR G in a 30c width. The braking was handled by Shimano's Ultegra line, giving dependable power and modulat🦂ion. Cervelo took care of the finishing kit, providing a carbon handlebar, alloy stem and carbon seatpost, which was topped with a Prologo Dimension TiRox saddle.
The full Caledonia range will be available from Cervelo dealer partners fr𝓀om today.
