The Colnago Y1RS vs Cervelo S5 - Aero Hyper Bikes Ridden & Compared
The new Colnago Y1RS and Cervelo S5 have already won stages in this year’s Tour de France, but what are the latest (and some of the most expensive) aero road bikes like to ride and work on when you’re not a GC contender?
Velo’s Josh Ross has been putting huge miles on both hyperbikes, and today’s podcast sees Levy and Alvin Holbrook question him about how they compare on the road, why the S5 feels so different from the Y1RS, and which bike makes the most sense for who and where.
The crew also gets into the Colnago’s surprising build quality and the S5’s gorgeous paint, and Levy tries to understand how having to remove the bottom bracket to access the Di2 battery is acceptable.
See the latest from the Velo Podcast, including the Tour de France, up now.
