While the R3 uses alloy dropouts, Cervelo's new R5 makes the switch to carbon fiber.

Most of the Cervelo Test Team is using the company's aero S3 model but team leader Carlos Sastre has decided on the latest R5 instead.

Cervelo takes advantage of the BBright standard's dimensions by widening the down tube, too

The non-driveside chain stay grows in width as well, expanding out all the way to the edge of the BBright bottom bracket shell

The new R5 expands on Cervelo's 'big chain stays, small seat stays' design philosophy

 

 

Wonder how much this is going to cost !!

It's a limited TdF Red Groupo - yellow in colour for the previous tour winners. Sastre / Lance / Pistol have it on their bike.
