2024 Cervelo ZFS-5 120 XO AXS - Five Black
CerveloREADY FOR YOUR CALL-UP
Progressive but racy, ZFS-5 was built for todays evolving XCO courses-it has to pedal well and handle quickly, but also take on the chunks, jumps, and drops littering the circuit. ZFS-5s 67.8-degree head tube angle delivers the precision required for elbow-to-elbow hole shot sprints, and the confidence to let off the brakes when the track gets rough. And in 120mm-outfitting, the 66.6-degree head angle will give you the extra confidence to push harder, and ride faster.
CALL IT A COMEBACK
Milan Vader is a veteran XC racer and former Dutch National Champion. He was set to race the Z bikes in 2022, but a life-changing crash at Itzulia Basque Country meant his priorities were re-learning to walk and ride. Hes recovered phenomenally well and much faster than the doctors expected, and will be racing the entire World Cup circuit this year.
DOUBLE DUTCH
Fem van Empel is one of Team Jumbo-Vismas most recent signings, and shes already made the rainbow connection. Following a decisive World Cyclocross Championships win in Hoogerheide, she traded knobbies for slicks this Spring, and has now set her sights on improving her best-ever World Cup results and landing on the podium.
Flat bars, suspension, Cervelo?
World Cup season is here, and were all-in. The Z bikes-the ZHT-5 and the ZFS-5, our hardtail and full-suspension, respectively-made their race debut at the Nove Mesto World Cup. The pilots? World Cup veteran and former Dutch National XCO Champion Milan Vader alongside reigning Cyclocross World Champion Fem van Empel.
Frame Sizing
How do I determine what bike size I need?
The age-old question, isnt it? There are many factors that go into bicycle sizing and fit, particularly for high-performance bikes. Without being able to measure you and see you on a bike, precise fit information is difficult to supply. Its also not unusual for someone to be able to ride two different sizes depending on their goals, flexibility, and fit tolerance. That said, we have some fantastic retailers, and wed encourage you to go start a conversation with them about what you want from your new bike. .
