Cervelo has long been a bike brand associated with speedy bikes, whether they be for road, triathlon or an all-out time trial.

Tipping the scales at approximately 18.6lbs / 8.4kg (size Small) for the flagship SRAM Force eTap 1x 12-speed bike with DT Swiss Carbon Wheels and Donnelly MSO tyres, everything from the frame to component selection is designed for speed.

JOM of the Gravel Cyclist crew has put this bike through the wringer, including plodding along muddy roads in the western side of Georgia, US of A.
