People began exploring the idea of the bicycle in the middle of the 19th century and a huge variety of types emerged between 1860 and 1890. Various attempts were made to establish a dominant design, but it was not until near the turn of the century that the experiments with wheels, gears, seats, etcetera converged to the now familiar ‘diamond frame’. This still forms the basis of most cycle designs.
Manufacturers introduced all sorts of incremental improvements including new materials (e.g. alloy steels for the frame), new components (e.g. gears), accessories (e.g. lights), etc. By 1930, there were bicycles to suit different market segments, ranging from dependable working cycles with 3-speed gears, lever operated brakes, through to high-performance racing and sports bikes made of lightweight materials and incorporating advanced gear and braking technology. This phase was very much about market segmentation – innovating to suit the needs of different user groups.
Walking into a bike shop can be a dizzying experience, especially if you haven’t ridden a bike since you were a kid. Fortunately, today’s bicycles are lighter, faster and more adaptable to an enormous range of riding styles. No matter what type of riding you do, there is a bike for you. In this article, we have enlisted the top 3 hottest road bikes of 2017, details of which are covered under each.
Fast and efficient on every road surface, the Specialized Roubaix Elite is an endurance road bike that offers an incredibly smooth ride, with predictable handling characteristics, making it ideal for sportive and rides over less than perfect road surfaces.
This bike features revolutionary compliance technology developed in partnership with McLaren. The Future Shock is a piston in the head tube offering 20mm of travel to reduce fatigue over rough terrain allowing you to ride faster. Positioned above the head tube, the Future Shock offers vertical compliance while the wheels are still rigidly held together by the frame. This means, that unlike traditional suspension systems, or forks that offer fore/aft deflection, the wheelbase remains constant, so you get extremely predictable handling combined with a smooth ride. In addition to this, the seat-post offers 20mm of rearward arc compliance for comfort in the saddle that still maintains frame stiffness and geometry.
The Fact 10r carbon fiber composite frame is the lightest that Specialized have ever made and is combined with the top of the line Roubaix FACT 11r carbon disc fork, with 12m thru-axle, for supreme stiffness. Endurance geometry offers a slightly more upright riding position that is ideal for long rides over challenging terrain, while Ride-First Engineering ensures that you get the same great ride experience in every frame size.
The Shimano 105 2×11 speed groupset is combined with a Praxis Alba compact chainset and wide range cassette for reliable shifting over a wide range of gears. Tektro Spyre mechanical disc brakes offer confident all-weather stopping power while the 26c puncture protection tires offer a little extra grip.
Speed, comfort and a supremely smooth ride, you get them all on the Specialized Roubaix Elite.
- Lightweight FACT 10r carbon frame is lightweight, stiff and strong
- FACT 11r carbon fork is stiff, strong and reactive
- Future Shock offers 20mm of vertical compliance for a smoother ride
- Shimano 105 2×11 speed for reliable shifting over a wide gear range
- Tektro Spyre disc brakes for all-weather stopping control
- Sizes: 49cm, 52cm, 54cm, 56cm, 58cm, 61cm
- Colour: Nordic Red/Black
The Domane is the name given to Trek’s endurance range. Designed to tackle the cobbles of the Paris-Roubaix, the Domane features Trek’s patented ISO-Speed de-coupler, located between the seat tube and the top tube. ISO-Speed gives greater compliance over rough terrain without a loss of stiffness and power transfer.
Now it is present at the front as well. Just like Domane SLR, the SL6 has ISO-Speed placed in the top of the head tube complimenting the rear in delivering a smooth ride and perhaps saving the rider’s shoulders and neck.
Another key feature for the SL6 would have to be the Vision Metron 40’s Trek have supplied with the bike. Usually, the first item to be upgraded on a new bike, it’s great to see a quality set of wheels included as standard. The SL6 is also equipped with Shimano’s much revered Ultegra 11 speed groupset.
The ride is incredibly stable. The 32mm tires give a great deal of confidence, almost gliding over pitted and bumpy road surfaces. Complementing the tires, the ISO-Speed iron out any and all road buzz that might spoil a great riding experience.
Finally, the disc brakes provide the ultimate safety and stability.
The SL6 definitely delivers in being a fast ride, it is also quick up hills. It is a great bike for professionals and amateurs alike.
- It has an ISO Speed De-Coupler technology which gives a smooth ride over rough roads.
- As befits the world’s most advanced endurance racing bikes, they have developed the world’s most stable racing geometry in this bicycle. It is still racy but with a slightly higher head tube for better stability and greater comfort through the entire ride.
- Direct brake mounts connect directly to the frame to reduce redundant parts and increase overall braking performance.
- Trek endurance geometry is a triple threat, maximizing control handling and responsiveness through perfectly tuned rider weight bias.
- Sleek, race-optimised cable routing system virtually eliminates friction for the crispest shifting in any conditions.
- It has an additional tire clearance which allows it to go places where no road bike has ever gone before.
- This Trek innovation connects the exclusive E2 head tube and BB90 bottom bracket with a wide, ultra-stiff down tube that transfers more of your pedaling power to the road, for more speed out of every pedal turn.
- 550 Series OCLV achieves a superb balance of weight, strength, and stiffness that’s perfectly suited to sophisticated frame technologies that distinguish Trek frames.
- Bontrager Stem Technology lets you clip your gear directly to the stem for clean looks and maximum user friendliness.
This bike provides the next generation road performance. The Giant TCR Advanced 2 Disc is a rapid road race bike that offers superior control in all conditions.
Blending stiffness and riding compliance the Advanced-Grade, carbon fiber composite frame features compact road geometry for versatile all-around road race performance. It is designed to make the most of the powerful speed control that disc brakes offer. The Mega-Drive downtube and Over-Drive steer add stiffness for lighting quick accelerations and pinpoint steering control. Keeping you comfortable on long days in the saddle the Variant seat-post offers just enough compliance to absorb the road chatter.
The Shimano hydraulic disc brakes offer easy to use braking power that works consistently well in all weather conditions. The Shimano 105 drivetrain offers slick shifting performance with the same gear ratios as higher end groupsets.
Cycle with more efficiency and control on the TCR Advanced 2 Disc.
- Advanced-Grade composite frame is stiff and lightweight
- Compact road geometry for nimble race handling
- Hydraulic disc brakes for confident all-weather stopping power
- Shimano 105 2×11 speed drivetrain for slick shifting

A harness is essential for rock climbing as it keeps the climber secure and offers support during ascents and descents. Rock climbing is a thrilling and challenging sport that requires adequate preparation for safety and success.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced rock climber, wearing a harness is imperative for your protection. A harness is a specially designed safety gear that you wear around your waist and legs. It connects you to the climbing rope for stability and support while ascending or descending and provides a secure anchor in case of a fall.
Harnesses are made with strong and durable materials that can withstand high pressure and tension. In this article, we’ll discuss why you need a harness for rock climbing and the different types of harnesses available for you to choose from.
The Importance Of Safety Gear In Rock Climbing
Regardless of the skill level, all rock climbers must wear safety gear, especially a climbing harness, during a climb. A harness provides essential support and protection for the climber’s body and can prevent serious injury and even save their life.
Let’s dive into the reasons behind the importance of safety gear in rock climbing.
Overview Of Rock Climbing Risks
Rock climbing is an extreme sport that comes with inherent dangers and risks. Some of the common hazards that climbers face are:
- Falling from height
- Abrasions from rocks and rough surfaces
- Muscle sprains and strains
- Hypothermia or heat stroke
Discussion Of The Impact Of Gravity On The Human Body
Rock climbers are exposed to the force of gravity, which can have a severe impact on their bodies. When a climber falls from height, they accelerate towards the ground and collide with it violently. This impact can cause serious injuries or even death.
The human body is not designed to withstand this kind of sudden shock, which can damage the internal organs, bones, and soft tissues.
Explanation Of How A Harness Protects Climbers From Falling And Injury During A Climb
A harness is a crucial piece of safety gear that every rock climber must wear. It is a set of straps that go around the climber’s waist, legs, and chest, and it is connected to the climbing rope. In case a climber slips or falls, the harness absorbs the force of the fall, reducing the impact on the body.
The rope, in turn, holds the climber in place, preventing them from hitting the ground. As a result, the harness can save the climber’s life by providing essential protection from serious injury or death.
Highlight Of How A Harness Distributes Weight And Pressure To Protect Climbers From Muscle Fatigue And Exhaustion
A climbing harness also helps to distribute the weight and pressure of the climber’s body across different parts, reducing the strain on individual muscles. Climbing requires significant strength and endurance, and prolonged exertion can lead to fatigue and exhaustion, making it challenging to continue the climb.
The harness disperses the weight uniformly, alleviating the pressure on specific muscles and allowing for a more comfortable and less tiring climb.
A harness is an essential piece of safety gear that every rock climber must wear. It provides vital support and protection for the climber’s body, reduces the impact of falls, and distributes the weight for a more comfortable climb. Remember, safety comes first in rock climbing, so always wear the proper gear and take the necessary precautions to ensure a safe and enjoyable climb.
Types Of Harnesses Used In Rock Climbing
Overview Of Different Types Of Harnesses
A harness is a crucial piece of equipment for rock climbers, and there are various types of harnesses that are designed to suit different climbing styles and levels of experience. Here are some of the most common types of harnesses used in rock climbing:
- Sit harness: This is the most basic type of harness, and its design is primarily focused on keeping the climber upright, with a waist belt and leg loops attached together.
- Chest harness: This type of harness is usually used in conjunction with a sit harness and provides additional support to the upper body.
- Full harness: A full harness is a combination of the sit and chest harnesses, and it offers full body support and protection.
- Alpine harness: This type of harness is designed for alpine or ice climbing, and it is lightweight, with fewer loops and attachments.
- Big wall harness: This is a heavy-duty harness, designed for long climbs and can carry heavy loads.
- Sports harness: A sports harness is designed for sport climbing, and it is light, with minimal padding, and has a more streamlined design.
Discussion Of The Differences Between Harnesses Based On The Type Of Climb
The type of rock climbing you plan on doing should determine the type of harness that you use. Here are the differences between harnesses based on the type of climb:
- Trad climbing: For traditional climbing, a full harness with solid gear loops for gear placements is suitable.
- Sport climbing: For sport climbing, a smaller, lightweight harness with fewer gear loops is more appropriate.
- Ice climbing: When it comes to ice climbing, a harness with adjustable leg loops and additional padding in areas prone to cold exposure to provide warmth to the climber’s thighs.
- Multi-pitch climbing: For multi-pitch climbing, a harness with sufficient foam padding and a strong anchor point is necessary to keep you comfortable for extended periods.
- Big wall climbing: For big wall climbing, a harness with adjustable leg loops, a wide waist belt and strong haul loops are crucial to take the weight of heavy loads and to reduce fatigue.
Explanation Of How To Choose The Right Harness For A Specific Type Of Climb
Choosing the right harness for rock climbing is important for your safety and comfort. Here are some essential factors that can help choose the right harness:
- Comfort: Comfort is crucial, and the right harness should fit well and be comfortable for a long period.
- Load-bearing capacity: A good harness should be able to take the weight of a fall and should be strong and sturdy enough to prevent serious injuries in case of a fall.
- Size and adjustability: Harnesses come in different sizes and designs, with adjustable leg loops and waist belt to fit different body sizes and shapes.
- Gear loops: Different types of harnesses come with various numbers of gear loops to accommodate gear placements during the climb.
- Price: Harnesses come in different price ranges but always go for a harness that is well designed for the intended climbing style and within your budget.
Highlight Of The Importance Of Proper Fit And Adjustment When Choosing A Harness
Having the appropriate harness is far from enough; you have to ensure it fits well and is appropriately adjusted. Here’s why it’s essential to have a well-fitted harness:
- Safety: A well-fitted harness secures the climber in case of a fall, reducing the chances of serious injuries.
- Comfort and balance: A good harness will enable the climber to move freely and maintain balance during the climb, preventing unnecessary challenges and exhaustion.
- Movement and mobility: A well-fitted harness allows you to move your arms and legs freely, enabling you to make the next move without strain.
Choosing the right harness is crucial for your safety and comfort while rock climbing. Choose a harness that suits your climbing style, body type, and budget, and remember to adjust it to fit snugly before each climb.
Frequently Asked Questions Of Why Do You Need A Harness For Rock Climbing?
Why Is A Harness Necessary For Rock Climbing?
A harness secures a climber to a rope, preventing falls and enhancing safety measures.
What Are The Types Of Harness Available For Rock Climbing?
There are two types of harness: the sit harness and the full body harness.
How Should I Choose The Right Harness For Rock Climbing?
Ensure a comfortable fit, proper padding, adjustability, and sturdy material are considered. Consult a professional.
Rock climbing is a thrilling sport that can provide you with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction like no other. But it is a dangerous activity and requires a lot of physical and mental preparation. One of the most important pieces of equipment that you need for rock climbing is a harness.
This essential element provides safety to the climber and helps them reach great heights without any fear of falling. A harness should be chosen with utmost care, keeping in mind the kind of climbing activity you are undertaking. Whether it is mountaineering, ice climbing, or just indoor climbing, a suitable harness can save you from disaster.
Wearing a harness can also increase your comfort level, prevent fatigue, and give you more confidence in your abilities. In short, a climbing harness is a crucial component in your gear and your safety, and anyone who wishes to engage in rock climbing should invest in one.

NIKE’s lightweight SFB (“Special Field Boot” – not Special Forces Boot) in tan and black have been very popular with a wide range of users. Soon, they will also be available in “Coyote Brown” – although NIKE’s interpretation of CB actually looks more like an earthier mid-brown (which is an improvement in my opinion).
To meet the intense physical demands of First Responders and Military Personnel, the Nike SFB was built with the latest athletic footwear technology. Parts of the forefoot are puncture- and laceration-resistant, while the midsole is super-cushioned and extra flexible, ensuring a smooth heel-to-toe transition. While the directional-traction outsole features reverse edges and a slightly raised heel for better grip when walking and running downhill.
The SFB also features an anatomical sockliner that moves easily with the foot and adds support and cushioning. A special lock-lace system helps keep the foot in place and maintain a comfortable, customized fit during extended wear.
Synthetic leather overlays make the NIKE SFB tough yet bendy, allegedly requiring no break-in period. The sturdy outer shell is also designed to create a snug fit, protect against scuffing, and to help keep water out.
The NIKE Special Field Boot is made for hot weather. Breathable, quick-drying fibers work to keep the foot comfortable in warm conditions, and sweat-wicking materials help the boot dry out fast.
- Quick-drying synthetic leather overlays for durability and support
- Multiple ventilation zones that allow the boot to breathe and drain quickly
- Genuine leather footbed for durability, flexibility and comfort
- Nike Free-inspired outsole, designed for traction and a natural range of motion
- Sticky rubber forefoot lugs for exceptional traction on all terrain
- Weighs about two-thirds the weight of traditional boots
NIKE Co-Founder Bill Bowerman served as a member of the 10th Mountain Division in Italy during WWII – the SFB reflects and honors that heritage.
The Coyote Brown SFB is available to pre-order now on Extreme Outfitters website for the price of $139.99. Extreme Outfitters will begin shipping the boots in August 2012.

Golf Pull Carts
They offer fantastic feel and have great spin though stopping faster on the green - but the trade-off is a lack in distance. Also their performance is affected by the temperature with their distance and overall performance deteriorating in temperatures below 20°C. Very few people still use the wound balata ball and it is likely to be replaced altogether by the multi-layer ball. However some professionals still like the extraordinary feel and spin control required for finesse shots around the green. Our Recommendation. This ball is only really suitable for the best of the very best golfers.
The Titleist DT Solo is designed to maximize distance for golfers that have slower swing speeds and need more forgiveness. The Titleist Solo may be the best golf swing tip around. The Titleist Solo provides a soft feel and great ball durability. The MSRP for the Titleist DT Solo is $28.00 before you add the cost of applying your logo. The Titleist Solo is a great deal when it comes to ordering a smaller number of logo balls as the minimum order is usually a dozen balls. A golf tournament gift of Titleist Logo Golf Balls would certainly be prized by most golf enthusiasts.
At the same time you are likely to hit the ball further. The price of two-piece balls tends to be less meaning that they wont take a large bite out of your budget when they end up in the lake or the rough! Multi-Layer. Typically made of three or four layers in which the core is wrapped in one or two layers the multi layer golf ball is usually preferred by Tour players for the extra control it offers. Three-piece. These have a large synthetic core a thin mantel and a cover. Sometimes tungsten weights are used in the middle of the synthetic core for optimised weight centering. Four-piece. These multi-layer golf balls have a smaller inner core surrounded by an outer core similar to the three-piece ball. This is then surrounded by a thin mantel and a cover.
The golf ball has undergone many upgrades and enhancements throughout its long life with several distinct stages: Wooden - Used from the mid 15th century the first golf balls were made from hardwoods such as beech. Often used in conjunction with wooden clubs a round of golf would have been a particularly jarring experience. Featherie - In 1618 the Featherie golf ball was invented and was used for nearly 250 years. These balls were made by stuffing wet goose feathers into a hand stitched wet leather ball. As it dried the leather shrunk and the feathers expanded creating a hard and compact ball.

Cervelo has redesigned its vaunted S5 model for 2015. The original Cervelo S5 was a ground-breaking design, widely hailed as the best aero road bike on the market. While new introductions (like Parlee’s stunning ESX) have upped the level of competition, Cervelo has remained one of the top aero road bike manufacturers as other bike manufacturers have raced to try to catch up. However, as fast as the first generation S5 was, there was still room for improvement. For example, the bottom bracket area and head tube were not as laterally stiff as some claimed to desire. Finally, some complained that the ride on the S5 was firmer than they wanted for long rides. Cervelo heard these complaints and has addressed them in the ’15 Cervelo S5. Many changes were made to the frame and fork, but four of them really stand out as ways that the ’15 Cervelo S5 is different from the previous generation.
New Cervelo S5 Fork
First, the new ’15 Cervelo S5 has a larger diameter head tube and the fork is tapered, from 1 1/8″ at the top to 1 3/8″ at the bottom. This larger diameter head tube, coupled with the larger fork steerer, makes the front end stiffer and more responsive. According to Cervelo, these changes, coupled with a revised carbon lay-up, have increased torsional stiffness in the head tube by 35%, and lateral fork stiffness by 17%. The net result is more immediate handling and even more lateral stability at speed.
New Cervelo S5 Bottom Bracket
Second, Cervelo redesigned the bottom bracket area of the bike. The result is that the BBRight bottom bracket of the ’15 Cervelo S5 is now laterally stiffer, by 6%, as compared to the previous generation Cervelo S5. Our own 6’4” Dean Phillips raced the previous Cervelo S5 to the MA State Road Championship title in ’12 and didn’t find the bike lacking in bottom bracket stiffness. However, 6% is 6%. For those who wanted more drivetrain stiffness out of the Cervelo S5, the ’15 version takes it a step further.
Improved Cervelo S5 Compliance
Third, Cervelo sought to address the comfort concerns. Wind tunnel tests showed Cervelo that the top tube and chain stay shapes had very little effect on the aerodynamics of the bike. So, Cervelo borrowed the top tube and chain stay designs from Cervelo’s most comfortable, and highest level frameset, the R5CA. The R series is known for their smooth ride, part of why they are such great endurance bikes, and the R5CA is the epitome of the R series design. Borrowing the design of the top tube and chain stay, coupled with revisions in the carbon lay-up of the other parts of the frame, has resulted in a tangible change of the ride of the ’15 Cervelo S5 bike. While it may not be quite as comfortable as a Cervelo R5CA, the ’15 Cervelo S5 is a bike that is hard to criticize when it comes to taking a 5 hour ride without feeling like you have taken a beating and maximizing your aero benefit.
Improved Cervelo S5 Tire Clearance
Fourth, with the old Cervelo S5, clearances around the rear wheel and tire were very tight, to the point that a rider could not use a 25mm tire. The redesign has widened the gaps around the rear wheel, so that now you can equip the bike with 25mm tires. Changing to 25mm wide tires lends added comfort to the ride of the bike, as a wider tire rides smoother, absorbing more road imperfections than a 23mm. In addition, somewhat counter intuitively, a 25mm tire can have less rolling resistance than 23mm, because the size of the tire contact patch on a 25mm tire is able to stay more consistent over road imperfections than that of a 23mm.
The ’15 Cervelo S5 retains some of the hallmarks that made the original Cervelo S5 so fast. The seat tube is cut out to allow the rear wheel to be brought forward, tucking into the cut out, thereby improving air flow over the wheel. The seat stays are shaped for maximum aerodynamic efficiency and the design incorporates what Cervelo terms a “drop down” down tube, lowering the down tube towards the front wheel. This smooths the air flow from the front wheel, over the down tube, and reduces air turbulence that would otherwise form behind the front wheel. The seat post is aerodynamically shaped, and can afford two separate positions for attachment of the saddle clamp, thus improving the fit options. The frame is designed to accept both mechanical and electronic cabling, so if you get an Ultegra mechanical group from the factory, you can later upgrade to Di2 easily.
The design of the ’15 Cervelo S5 was not just aimed at quieting critics, Cervelo was also trying to improve the overall aerodynamics of the bike based upon the latest data. Extensive computational fluid dynamics and wind tunnel testing was done during the design of the bike and the tube shapes and relationships were further refined from its predecessor. Cervelo also knows that a bike can’t go very fast without a rider and, a few years ago, they designed a human form they dubbed “Foam Dave”, a full-scale mannequin copy of professional rider Dave Zabriskie formed out of high-density foam, to be used in the wind tunnel. This form was mounted on the frameset so that an accurate picture of the aerodynamics of the bike and rider could be fully analyzed. Many small changes were made to the frame shape as a result of these tests, and Cervelo’s data shows that a ’15 Cervelo S5 can save up to 21.3 watts compared to the previous S5 design. For those with power meters, you know how hard gaining 21.3 watts of power can be; for those already at peak fitness it is impossible to gain 20+ watts through training alone.
In order to save this amount of drag, Cervelo had to really look at some details and items that were previously not the realm of the frame company. For example, Cervelo’s wind tunnel testing led them into the realm of handlebar design. Being on the front of the bike, handlebars can have a fairly large impact on the overall aerodynamics of the bike. So, Cervelo has equipped the ’15 Cervelo S5 with a fairly radical handlebar that pushes the UCI design limits to their maximum (yes, the handlebar on the ’15 Cervelo S5 is UCI legal…). The bar is fairly conventional in overall dimensions to modern standard with a reach of 80 mm and a drop of 128 mm and the design of the curve of the bars places the brake levers in a comfortable and accessible position. The radical part of the ’15 Cervelo S5 handlebar is the shape of the top of the bar. The bar is very wide, as you can see by the photo. Unlike some super-aero bars, the ’15 Cervelo S5 handlebar does not have an integrated stem, but thankfully uses a conventional stem. Cervelo found that the shape of the stem did not add or detract from the overall aerodynamics, so for ease of fitment they thankfully elected to make the bars compatible with convention 31.8mm stems. While some may argue about the aesthetics of these new bars, they do accomplish the goal of improving aerodynamics. According to Cervelo, the new bar design alone gives a 4.4 watt advantage over a standard round handlebar. The only drawback with these bars is that they are not the most comfortable when riding with your hands on the top of the bars, even for riders with large hands, due to their shape.
The placement of the brakes on the ’15 Cervelo S5 deserve kudos, because they buck the trend some manufacturers have followed in placing brakes in positions that are supposed to be more aerodynamic, but that make installation and adjustment very difficult. Cervelo maintained that traditional seatstay mounted brake location on the Cervelo S5, and the work in the wind tunnel resulted in a design that shields the caliper by the overall shape of the seat tube and the seat stays. No aerodynamic efficiency is lost by this very functional location. Curiously, Cervelo also decided not to move the front brake to behind the fork, again making the bike much easier to work on and making the brakes perform better as well. Cervelo has never been a company to compromise aerodynamics. We are confident that there was little to nothing to be gained by placing the brakes in a far less convenient place and brakes placed in more traditional locations almost universally perform better than ones shielded under chainstays and behind forks.
When it comes to components, the ’15 Cervelo S5 comes equipped with a choice of three Shimano drivetrains: Dura Ace 9070 Di2, Dura Ace 9000 with mechanical shifting, and Shimano Ultegra 6800. The bikes equipped with Dura Ace come with HED Jet+ 6 SCT wheels, shod with Continental GP tires. These wheels have an alloy rim with 60 mm deep carbon fiber fairing. These are very good quality wheels that, while not the lightest at 1,737 grams for the set, are very aerodynamic and versatile. The Ultegra equipped bike comes with the same wheels as the previous generation S5, the Mavic Cosmic Elite S aero alloy wheels with Mavic tires. Other components include Rotor BBRight press fit bottom bracket bearings, and a Rotor 3D+ aluminum alloy crankset. The crank is equipped with the increasingly popular 52/36 “mid-compact” chainring combination while the stem and headset bearings are FSA. The saddle is the Fizik Antares.
The price of the all Dura Ace Di2 Cervelo S5 bike is $10,000, while the mechanical Dura Ace bike is $8,000. The Ultegra-equipped bike is the real deal of the group, at $5,500. The Ultegra 6800 mechanical group works great, and only sacrifices small increments of performance to the Dura Ace mechanical group in terms of functionality. If you have to save some money, get the right frame first and upgrade those wheels and parts at a later date!
Why are aerodynamics so important on a bike? On a level surface, at 25 mph, over 80% of your power can be consumed overcoming aerodynamic drag. Of course you, the rider, are the biggest problem, but the bike can make a big difference too. Even at slower speeds aerodynamic drag is the largest power consumer, far more than rolling resistance or drivetrain losses. So, aero bikes can help almost anyone ride faster. With the changes in the design, the new 2015 Cervelo S5 is still at the head of the aero bike class. Want to go fast with the least amount of rider power? A properly fit aero bike is a great way to do it
It is important to note that the ’15 Cervelo S5 does make one significant departure from the rest of Cervelo’s road line. While other Cervelo road models share the same geometry as each other, Cervelo reduced the height of the head tube on the ’15 Cervelo S5. This will of course make it so that the bike has a narrower fit window than their other aero bikes, the Cervelo S3 and S2. A number of riders will need to find out of if the front end height is adequate for their needs and position. This highlights all the more why it is crucial to understand whether a bike actually fits you well before buying it. Make sure you take a Rider Matched approach to bike selection as the ’15 Cervelo S5 is a very fast and well designed machine, but if it does not fit your riding position well, it won’t realize its potential for you and all the changes Cervelo designed to help make the bike faster mentioned above will be for not.
