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.

Cervelo endurance road: taller, more tire room, all-day. It is not a slow bike — it is an R5 that sat up.
Riders who want a drop-bar bike for mixed-surface events, not a touring mule.
Gravel-race geometry with a distinctive front end. Quick to turn and happier on fast dirt than on loaded bikepacking tracks.
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.
