Today, Cerv\u00e9lo launched the new Caledonia-5<\/a> launched. We think it is an all-rounder. One that is good for 'big, stupid rides', as the brand itself says. Whether you're training for an ultra like Transcontinental, Badlands or Sverigetempot. It doesn't matter. The Caledonia-5 is your playmate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the introduction of the Caledonia-5 in 2020, lots of cyclists have discovered how great these adventures can be. 'Stupid rides' are ready for a new level, and the 2024 upgrade of the Caledonia-5 is just the thing. Similar to the upgrades to the \u00c1spero, Cerv\u00e9lo has chosen to include improvements for when you're pushing the limits. So not when you're doing a round of Leersum MTB or touring in the Achterhoek. No, at the real thing, that's where you notice the difference<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Storage pocket included<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Almost a hygiene factor in this segment is an integrated storage compartment in the frame. An upgrade over the previous edition. You can't store a complete bag in here, but you can store a multitool, inner tube and CO2 cartridge. The weight of this compartment has been kept as low as possible and it does not close on the frame, but on itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingenious storage compartment. With a real 'door<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A symmetrical design was chosen, allowing you to mount the bottle cage upwards, so there is room for two bottles. You can also turn the door upside down, giving you a lower centre of gravity, although this way there is only room for one bottle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That's a choice you make, but perhaps you could use the smaller Camelbak water bottles here. That way, while maintaining aerodynamics AND saving 40 grams of weight, you can make it totally worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
