The primary mission of the R5 is clear: ascend to the summit swiftly. Despite the acclaim and celebration accompanying summit finishes, these ascents are seldom the sole climbs of the day. While a race typically isn’t decided during a descent, it can unquestionably be lost. A climbing bike that falters in navigating hairpin turns is akin to a cup of decaf coffee—missing a crucial element. Now in its fourth iteration, the R5 has witnessed fluctuations in weight and stiffness over the years. However, the unwavering constants since its inception are its exceptional handling, poised performance, and unparalleled prowess when descending.
