The Cervelo ZFS-5 was designed to be a high-performance cross-country mountain bike which features a single pivot, flex stay suspension system. This design efficiently converts the rider's pedaling energy into forward motion, resulting in excellent speed and efficiency. The bike is equipped with 29-inch wheels, which not only maintain speed effectively but also minimize the impact of obstacles and rough terrain.

The rear suspension of the ZFS-5 offers 115mm of travel, enabling it to handle drops, small jumps, and various challenges found on modern trails. Additionally, this version of the bike is equipped with a 120mm fork, enhancing its capabilities further. The inclusion of this fork results in a slack head tube angle of 66.6 degrees, enhancing stability and composure when descending steep trails. For uphill climbing, the ZFS-5 features an efficient 75-degree seat tube angle, ensuring powerful and effective pedaling. Moreover, the bike's medium-length, size-specific chainstays contribute to a nimble, stable, and well-balanced riding experience across all frame sizes.

The Cervelo ZFS-5 120 is equipped with SRAM's X0 Eagle wireless Transmission AXS build which incorporates state-of-the-art advancements in the electronic drivetrain realm. The SRAM X0 Eagle Transmission AXS drivetrain ensures flawless and precise gear shifting, accompanied by an extensive gear range, all while eliminating the need for traditional cables. The drivetrain components are engineered for exceptional durability, catering to high-performance demands. Braking efficiency is fortified by the SRAM Level Silver Stealth brakes, employing a 4-piston setup to provide substantial stopping power when required. Additionally, the Maxxis Rekon tires deliver optimal traction and grip, minimizing rolling resistance for enhanced performance.

The Fox Float Performance Elite rear shock functions to maintain optimal ground traction in challenging terrains and situations, while its integrated compression switch empowers riders to adjust stiffness for improved climbing performance.The 120mm Fox 34 Step-Cast Performance Elite fork is engineered to strike a balance between weight reduction and impact absorption, delivering a smooth ride while also optimizing climbing proficiency for off-saddle maneuvers. As a result, the Cervelo ZFS-5 equipped with the 120 X0 Eagle Transmission AXS build represents a cutting-edge mountain bike, boasting advanced components and technical features to elevate the cycling experience to new heights.

The Reserve 28 XC carbon rims, in conjunction with the DT Swiss 350 hubs, synergize to form a race-ready wheelset. This wheelset's design emphasizes reduced weight and remarkable resilience, making it suitable for competitive riding scenarios.
