After presentation of the hardtail model, here come the photos of the full suspension model, namely the Cervelo ZFS-5 XC.

It will be produced in 100mm and 120mm versions, you can find the geometries below. The head angle goes from 66,7° to 67,8°, giving the bike a handling focused on demanding trails: a cross country modern. Each size has its own chainstay length, ranging from 432mm on the S to 440mm on the XL.

Cervélo implemented a single flex pivot design for the frame, which is in line with many competitive race bikes these days. Again the design is quite similar to that of the Blur, which impressed our team with the climbing traction and overall comfort it was able to offer in such a lightweight package.

Keep an eye out for the ZFS-5 at the first XCO World Cup race in Nove Mesto this weekend: it will be at the start with the 2 Jumbo Visma riders, namely Fem van Empel and Milan Vader.

ZFS-5 will be available in summer 2023, where public prices will also be communicated

ppgad@pucrs.br I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
