BUTTER BUILD: 2024 Cervelo R5 & NEW SRAM RED!
We didn't really know what should take the top billing on this one, the ultra-light Cervelo R5 or SRAM's latest RED groupset. Pair them together and you've got a heck of a bike. Tipping the scale at under 15lbs, we haven't seen a bike with disc brakes that light without drilling holes in it.

    Oh, I really want to get one and after this review even more! But I can't decide which model. I'm 6'4" and weigh around 220 lbs in full training mode, so let's just say I'm not exactly built for aero. :-) Should I go for the SuperSix EVO 3, which I can snag for $3,200? Or should I dig deeper into my already empty pockets and splurge on the EVO 2 or 1, which i can could get for $5,500? Are the upgrades worth the extra $2,200?

    I bought one from your store in Denver and have been truly enjoying it. Yes, it's a little heavy, but not nearly like the other full power bikes. I'm calling it the Goldilocks bike: Not too heavy, not too light (and underpowered), it's just right. The range I'm getting so far is amazing, and the build kit at this price point (I got the SL1 model) is top-of-the-line. So far, I love it, and having ridden other E-MTB's such as Specialized, Yeti, and Orbea, this Cannondale handles as well or better than any of them. So glad I waited until this year to get an E-MTB.

      38- 42 is what the pros use because they use much bigger chain rings than us. Not all frames can handle both big tires and large drivetrains. It also depends on the type of gravel, how much tarmac. If you run 45 or bigger you will get dropped on certain tracks. I see 45 to 50 for endurance races like unbound. Definitely not at worlds
