Cervelo's journey into dirt started with Aspero, whose speed-minded approach promptly won accolades in the gravel world. They've taken what they learned from Aspero and done it again with the ZHT-5, a bike immediately competitive at the pointy end of any cross-country race.

ZHT-5 is fast, efficient, and even a bit fun. It's not on the lunatic fringe of longer and slacker, but the 68.5-degree head tube angle and rationally progressive geometry combine to keep the rider's weight centered and stable. As a result, it's comfortable, fast downhill, nimble enough for pack racing, and poised at any speed.

Limited quantities are starting to roll in, so act quickly and ship to your door with Wheelsmith Gold Label Assembly.

It’s Cervélo’s first mountain bike, so literally, everything is all-new! For now, the new Cervélo ZHT-5 is available exclusively in one of two complete bike builds, with a frameset option also expected in the future.
