Cervelo Caledonia Sram Rival eTap

Cervelo racing bikes have enjoyed an excellent reputation for years. For some time now, the focus has not only been on pure high-performance sports but also on driving fun. And that too on bad roads, away from the major traffic flows. The Caledonia is not a real gravel bike – other Cervelo models can do that – but a very comfortable road racer.

In addition to after-work training, it is ideal for long tours, marathons, and mountain passes in the Alps. Even as a fast commuter bike, the Caledonia can be equipped with the essential attachments. For maximum comfort, the Caledonia Ultegra can be equipped with tires up to 34 millimeters wide. With mudguards, the usable tire width is reduced to 31 millimeters. You don’t have to waste a lot of words about the components: The SRAM Rival eTap group is one of the best electronic racing bike sets on the market. Point.

Cervelo – carbon frame construction at the highest level

Through the use of low-modulus carbon in the crucial areas, outstanding durability was achieved in the new Caledonia frame. Because low-modulus carbon is less brittle than conventional high-modulus carbon. In addition, the frame of the Caledonia scores with numerous clever detailed solutions. For example, the detachable front derailleur clamp, which is attached to the seat tube with two screws. Not only that the component can be replaced in a few simple steps in the event of a defect.

The frame is also immediately compatible when new standards are released. Or you simply unscrew the front derailleur completely if you want to convert the bike to a 1-speed drivetrain. The adapters for accessories such as mudguards, lighting systems, or a computer in the cockpit, which are almost invisibly integrated into the frame, are also elegant.
