Cervelo Caledonia
Sportive and rough-road riders who found R5/S5 too low.
Cervelo endurance road: taller, more tire room, all-day. It is not a slow bike — it is an R5 that sat up.

CX racers. If you want gravel capability, look at Checkpoint or Checkmate instead.

All-day road riders, gran fondo people, and anyone who found Madone/Émonda too low.
IsoSpeed endurance geometry: taller stack, longer wheelbase, and a rear end that takes the sting out of cobbles and chipseal. Still a road bike, not a Checkpoint.
