Cervelo Caledonia 5 Force eTap AXS Road Bike

Description

With inspiration from established road racing lines, Cervelo has pushed the envelope on endurance road bikes in its creation of the Caledonia 5. The product of a combination of the more laid-back comfort of the Aspero and the Roubaix-born R5, the Caledonia 5 hits that middle ground so many riders have been searching for.
