A NEW BIKE FOR CLASSIC RIDES
The Caledonia is the bike we keep reaching for when we know the odometer’s going well past the triple digit mark. Long rides invariably have some smooth tarmac, some junk pavement over backroads, a cutty singletrack connector, and maybe even your own local Strade Bianche sector. So we built a bike that could take on all of them, do it well, and fit fenders in case the ominous clouds turn into a downpour 130km into your day.

We don’t see road bikes as delicate machines meant only for putting watts into and receiving speed from.

They’re an extension of our soul, of the way we want to see our worlds, and the lives we want to live. Sometimes that means cutting across park grass, and sometimes it’s seeing where that dirt road off to the left leads you. The Caledonia-5 is a bike for the modern road rider.

RACE-BRED
When we design a bike, we start with our library of tube shapes. These shapes are shapes we’ve used on other models that we know to have various qualities—aerodynamic, stiff, ultralight, etc.—and they help get us to the refinement stage on a bike more quickly.

In the case of Caledonia, we wanted durability, light weight, and aerodynamics to be in balance, and selected a package that achieved the performance demands of this kind of race bike.

INSPIRING & REFINED
Caledonia uses a standard round bar, stem and seat post, giving riders the option to build their ultimate ride without compromise.

Integrated accessory mounts and hidden fender mounts keep the bike’s refined lines so you can ride with lights and computers in a downpour and still look fast. Because we all know if it looks fast, it probably is.

STABLE, CAREFREE AND CONFIDENT
Modern road riders are looking for bikes to handle long distance, high pace, no limits and offer maximum fun.

By placing lower modulus carbon in key areas to mitigate the brittleness of hi-mod fiber—the bike isn’t delicate. It is made for the way we ride and accommodates 34mm tires or 31mm with fenders.

• Carbon frame and fork
• Reserve 44/40mm Carbon wheelset
• Shimano Dura Ace 9200 12sp drivetrain
• Shimano Dura Ace hydrulic disc brakes
