All New Cervelo Caledonia
New Cervelo Caledonia The bike for the modern road rider Caledonia is a high-performance road bike with endurance-oriented geometry that delivers everything you'd expect from a Cervelo. It's designed for all-season riders, fondo racers, and those who've just been bitten by the cycling bug. Clean aerodynamic lines, hidden cables, and a highly-tuned carbon fiber layup add up to a bike that's fast enough for a spirited group ride, comfortable enough for all-day efforts, and looks right at home at every coffee stop. What's been updated? New cockpit and cable routingUnlike the Caledonia-5's fully internal system, the Caledonia offers mechanic-friendly cable and hose routing that supports both fully-integrated setups and standard semi-external routing. Ride all-day geometryWith a 1013mm wheelbase, 415mm chainstays, and 72-degree head tube angle, the Caledonia delivers stable and predictable handling suitable for both casual riders and those hunting fondo and brevet glory. They have also updated the trail figure to optimize the geometry for 32mm wide tires. Threaded bottom bracketThe T47a threaded bottom bracket simplifies service for home mechanics, and ensures long-term performance. Room for big tires, plus fender mounts Run up to 36mm tires or 34mm tires with fenders. On a big ride, you'll encounter roads that are less than maintained. The Caledonia's 36mm tire clearance allows you to mount up road-smoothing, comfortable rubber that makes a big difference when the odometer hits triple digits. And for the year-round, all-weather pedalers, Caledonia comes with fender mounts that make it easy to add full-coverage fenders.
