October 03, 2018 – Cervélo and Team Sunweb are excited to officially announce their new partnership for 2019 onwards. From January 1st, Cervélo will become the bike of choice for Team Sunweb’s men’s and women’s World Tour teams as well as their continental team and development squad.
“We’re very excited to partner with Team Sunweb, for us it’s the perfect match in ambition and performance,” explained Richard Keeskamp, Sports Marketing Director at Cervélo. “The team is word-class and active in a wide range of fields and disciplines with men, women and U23 programs – competitive in the one-day races, time trials, sprints and grand tours, which requires very specific equipment to be able to make the difference over competition. It challenges us to raise the bar even further in developing and delivering new and state-of-art technologies.
“We proudly launch the new S5, which heralds a new era for our company and stunning advances in aero and engineering technology for Team Sunweb’s riders. The partnership will allow us excellent R&D opportunities to continue to develop new technologies in close cooperation with the team, benefiting from their feedback and experience.”
The all-new S5 is the pinnacle of “system thinking” whereby multiple Cervélo engineers are assigned specific areas of the bike’s design in order to focus on perfecting each detail. The result is our stiffest and most aero iteration of the S-Series yet, all while retaining a superior level of ride quality and usability. Equipped with disc brakes and a fully adjustable bar and stem system, the S5 still manages to be 42 grams faster than its predecessor – the equivalent of 5.5 watts.
When UCI frame design rules changed we grasped the opportunity and pushed the new S3 to the limits. Aerodynamic gains for the rider with a fully integrated cockpit for both mechanical and electronic builds. Available in both rim and disc builds, the disc version is a whopping 102 grams (13 watts) faster than the model it supersedes.
The all-new Cervélo website also comes online today. Featuring cleaner product navigation, more powerful bike configurator functionality and a richer brand experience in general, we’re looking forward to delivering more region-specific content as the platform evolves.
