Caledonia / Caledonia-5

road3500–13000 EUR

Algupära

2020. aastal turule tulnud Caledonia oli Cervelo esimene pühendatud vastupidavus-/maanteerataste platvorm — teadlikult 'detuneeritud' võistlusratas pikema teljevahe, lõdvema geomeetria ja tõsise rehvikliirensiga, mis sai nime Šoti sõna järgi, mis tähistab karmi põhja. Caledonia-5 asub selle kohal lipulaeva klassika- ja munakiviteede relvana: varasemas põlvkonnas sõideti sellega Pariis-Roubaix' ja Strade Bianche võistlustel. 2024-2025 uuendus suurendas kliirensit 34-lt 36 mm rehvidele (või 34 mm poritiibadega), lisas alustoru kindalaeka pöördlukuga kaanega ja kohandatud kottidega ning vähendas raami kaalu 53 g võrra. See kasutab endiselt klassikalist keermestatud T47a alumist kronsteini standardse Caledonia puhul hooldatavuse huvides — teadlik lahkumine press-fit S5/R5-st.

Tehnilised andmed

Raam: Full carbon. Caledonia-5: high-modulus carbon, fully internal cabling, integrated downtube storage ('glovebox'), lowered/slimmer seatstays for vertical compliance; frame 936 g, fork 370 g (painted, 56 cm).

Rehvid: 700x30 mm tubeless-ready (Vittoria Corsa N.EXT TLR on Ultegra build; Vittoria Corsa Pro Control TLR on RED AXS build). Frame clears up to 36 mm (34 mm with full mudguards).
Vedrustus: Rigid (no suspension). Compliance comes from frame design — lowered slim seatstays, D-shaped SP24 carbon seatpost, and up to 36 mm tyres.

Verdikt

+Tugevused

Outstanding on-road manners — reviewers rate its blend of pace, reactive handling and smoothness among the very best in the fast-endurance class
Genuinely versatile 'do-everything' road bike: race-quick yet comfortable, with 36 mm tyre clearance and full mudguard mounts for winter and rough roads
Stiff downtube and bottom bracket give efficient, lively power transfer that feels closer to a race bike than a typical endurance machine
Practical integrated downtube storage ('glovebox') with fitted pouches plus Reserve 42|49 aero wheels that shine on fast flats
UCI-certified and proven at Paris-Roubaix / Strade Bianche, so it is a real classics race bike, not just a comfort cruiser

−Nõrkused

Very expensive — the Caledonia-5 commands flagship money (£7,400 / €7,999 for the Ultegra Di2 build), far above similarly-specced rivals like Ribble or Cube
Race-oriented gearing (52/36 with 11-34) is aimed at fitter, faster riders rather than casual endurance cyclists
Not the plushest endurance bike: for ultra-distance riders comfort can become a limiting factor — it favours sportiness over maximum cushion
Noticeable weight for the price — ~7.95–8.28 kg on the Ultegra build makes acceleration feel less eager than the figure-light competition
Can feel slightly twitchy at low speeds and is not the easy, forgiving choice for beginners seeking a relaxed ride

Kellele sobib

Endurance riders, long-distance audax/gran-fondo racers, anyone tackling rough UK/Baltic roads or light cobbles who wants race speed with comfort and fender mounts
