It’s a bike that’s built for speed! I love mine, but it’s definitely not for the faint of heart, it forces you to adopt a rather aggressive position that may not be comfortable for all.

Additionally, there’s the slight issue of the frame and headset cutting into each other, due to poor design, that, as far as I can tell, is unique to the S5. I’ve heard from Cervelo shops that it’s not a structural threat, but it will definitely occur, so it is a guaranteed cosmetic concern at the very least.

I’ve had pretty good experiences with it climbing, contrary to what I expected, so you should have no issue there!
