Climbing bikes aren’t built for 50kph.
They’re built for weight. For gradients. For against gravity.
So what actually happens when you line one up against aero bikes on the flats?
No guesses.
No hype.
Same rider.
Same segments.
Measured power.
Wheels. Tyres. Position. Gearing. What Else?
Let’s see what really makes a climbing bike fast.

I thought a 5.8kg bike would feel fragile.
Flexy. Nervous. Untouchable.
Turns out… it’s the complete opposite. ⚡️
Stiff under power. Compliant on the road.
Built to be ridden - not tiptoed around.
This changed how I think about lightweight bikes. 👀🚴♂️

The S5 is Cervélo’s pure aero race bike.
Designed around wind-tunnel data, not trends — every tube shape, cable route, and cockpit choice is about reducing drag at real race speeds.
Who it’s for: riders chasing maximum speed on flat to rolling terrain, criteriums, and road races where aero gains matter more than grams.
Fast isn’t an accident. It’s engineered. #cervelo #cervelos5 #roadbike
AVP—Our Secret Weapon 🤫💪
Every Scribe Wheel platform is developed through sustained #ResearchAndDevelopment. Our “Augmented Validation Process” (AVP) is a closed-loop development cycle that combines CFD simulation, rapid prototyping, and real-world data capture—ensuring every design evolves as a part of a complete rider system, never in isolation.
Balancing aerodynamic efficiency, structural performance, and real-world ride dynamics, AVP has helped engineer our fastest, most precise wheels ever. Our ULTRA Wheelsets🔗

Speed is a sensation.
It’s a feeling that varies from ride to ride in countless different ways. Flat roads or mountains. Solo rides or in the group. Competition or fun.
That’s the idea behind the all-new Propel range. Every model in this wide-ranging collection is engineered to deliver not just speed, but every type of speed 💨

The all-new Propel range is a bike with pro pedigree and undeniable aerodynamic data, but the next-generation Propel isn’t built only for the wind tunnel or the Tour de France. It’s engineered for the roads you ride. Up long climbs, where you feel it’s lighter weight. On the flats, where efficiency is everything. Down twisty descents, through fast corners, on long days over less-than-perfect roads.

Is this the ultimate road bike wheelset, or would you choose something else instead? Let me know in the comments below.⬇️💬
The landscape of road bike wheels has evolved dramatically over the past few years. Scope is arguably one of the segment leaders that has emerged during this technological shift, and their Artech range is truly impressive in both specifications and real world performance.
And now for a proper lightweight build. Cervelo R5 with Reserve Tune SL 34/37 wheelset. Can you guess the final weight? #lecyclosportif #cervelo #reservewheels
