'12 Cervelo

Cervelo’s S5 Team is revolutionary even for a company synonymous with the word. It begins with a carbon layup that’s tuned to optimize stiffness laterally and torsionally, plus shave every gram possible. Then, Cervelo’s aero genius hits high gear with a dropped down tube and an extended rear-wheel cutout to smooth the transition of air from the front to rear wheel with nary a hiccup. The wind-cheating wizardry continues with an hourglass head tube, internal cable routing with top-tube entry and seatstays that shield the rear brake from turbulence to complete an ultra-trick frameset that screams towards the finish line with awesome efficiency and the maximum aero advantage. Its components are ready for action, too, with a Shimano Ultegra parts group for precision shifting and braking and gossamer weight. And, you'll love the race-worthy 3T bars and stem and the easy-rolling Fulcrum wheels with choice Vittoria tires.
