AERO CABLE MANAGEMENT
The Cervelo Caledonia 5 Disc Road Bike Rival eTap AXS frame, fork, handlebars, and associated components are designed to hide cable and shift control lines (mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic) from the wind for improved aerodynamics, without sacrificing stability or performance.
PERFORMANCE FIT
The Cervelo Caledonia 5 Disc Road Bike Rival eTap AXS integrated stem and two bearing cap options allow for stacks ranging between an aggressive 7mm and a relaxed 22mm without the use of spacers. With a wider fit coordinate range (stack) of 580mm to 687mm, the Cervelo Caledonia 5 Disc Road Bike Rival eTap AXS can be as low as a slammed R3 or taller than our tallest C3. All while looking and being seamlessly fast in the wind.

About Cervelo Caledonia 5 Disc Road Bike Rival eTap AXS taken from Cycling News
Cervelo Caledonia 5 Disc Road Bike Rival eTap AXS was created to be raced on poorly maintained surfaces and pavé, Cervelo Caledonia 5 Disc Road Bike Rival eTap AXS has to be durable enough to deal with vibrations, torsional stresses and impacts, of course. However, in order to retain aerodynamic proficiency, Cervélo looked to its existing library of tube shapes from development of the R-Series and S-Series. This meant more time could be spent optimizing the carbon modulus of the Cervelo Caledonia 5 Disc Road Bike Rival eTap AXS to balance compliance and stiffness, knowing aerodynamic performance was already taken care of. It's worth noting that Cervélo supplies no specific aerodynamic claims for the Cervelo Caledonia 5 Disc Road Bike Rival eTap AXS.
To further aid this compliance, the Cervelo Caledonia 5 Disc Road Bike Rival eTap AXS frame has been designed with clearance for 34mm tyres. This is far from groundbreaking in the endurance bike realm (the Trek Domane can handle 38mm), but it helps to add another dimension to the bike's versatility. The Cervelo Caledonia 5 Disc Road Bike Rival eTap AXS combination of aero tubes and sharp handling make it ready to race, but slot in some 34mm tyres and you have a bike capable of fast, all-day gravel adventure. Especially since the stack Cervelo Caledonia 5 Disc Road Bike Rival eTap AXS can be adjusted using different headset bearing caps and spacers to offer a range between an aggressive position mimicking a slammed R3, to a stack higher than the tallest C3.
