A perfect starting point or upgrade, the Cervelo R2 105 Road Bike 2017 packs many features from the upper echelons of the Cervelo range into a more accessibly priced bike. Perfect light weight engineering with no compromise in stiffness, strength or comfort. You’ll search out hard hills not only to feel the light weight on the climbs, but also the speed and control on the descent.
The R2 105 Road Bike gives a settled ride that allows you to feel the road whilst minimising rough road feedback. Comfort is magnified with the ultra-thin seat stays developed to increase vertical compliance and vibration absorption for a smooth ride.
Despite being built to be light, you won’t feel the need to treat it gently. As this is the same frame as the R3, you get the Squoval™ tube shapes and BBright™ technology, so the R2 can withstand the all-out sprints and hardest attacks with minimum flex that means no flinching over potholes and gravel roads. It also gives you the launch power to chase down a break or pull away in a sprint, the stability for effortless straight-line handling and precise speed through the tightest corners
The R2 105 Road bike also showcases Cervélo’s Carbon Dropouts, Future-Proof Cable Management, Reduced Friction BB guide, and BBright™ Core Design all designed to enhance stiffness where it matters for better handling and power transmission whilst reducing excess weight, for optimum lightness and comfort.
Future-Proof Cable Management ensures your frame is compatible with all current and future derailleur and brake systems meaning that your R2 will work with any future upgrades whilst tough, compression-molded Carbon Dropouts save weight with no sacrifice in strength versus traditional metal dropouts.
Even though the fork is not the same as on the R3, you are still getting a carbon tapered fork to keep handling sharp and reducing vibrations reaching your hands from the road.
With this much value in one bike, it is time to step up to pro-level performance.
