Despite being three years old, the Cervélo S5 is still recognized as one of the best aero bikes available, outperforming even newer competitors. It's used at elite cycling levels, underscoring its capability. While it may eventually be replaced, its legacy may lead to attractive pricing for prospective buyers. The reviewer appreciates its design and performance, yet expresses personal reservations about ownership. The aesthetic, while distinctive in a sea of similar bikes, may not appeal to everyone, highlighting the subjective nature of bike preferences.
"The Cervélo S5 is still absolutely one of the best aero bikes on the market. The fastest, at zero yaw, even compared against far newer bikes. "
"With such a winning record, is the Cervélo S5 one of the best road bikes on the market? Yes, absolutely. But that doesn't necessarily mean I think you should buy one. "
"It's refreshing to have an all-out aero machine that still has a distinctive look about it. You'd be hard-pressed to find that cockpit elsewhere."
