A NEW BIKE FOR CLASSIC RIDES

We don't see road bikes as delicate machines designed just to put watts in and speed out. They are an extension of our souls, the way we want to see our worlds, and the lives we want to lead. Sometimes that means cutting across park grass, and sometimes it means seeing where that dirt track to the left takes you. The Caledonia-5 is a bike for the modern road rider.

The Caledonia is the bike we reach for again and again when we know the odometer is going to go well past the three-digit mark. Long rides inevitably have some smooth tarmac, some junk cobbles over back roads, a cut singletrack and maybe even your own local Strade Bianche sector. So we've built a bike to take it all on, and well, and we've fitted mudguards in case the ominous clouds develop into a downpour at kilometre 130 of your day.

We developed the Caledonia-5 in collaboration with our World Tour riders to fulfil the need for a dedicated pavement bike. Faster handling isn't necessarily better - we've tailored the handling to the specific application. In this case, it's Roubaix. Roubaix is harder on bikes than any other race on the calendar, and there's zero margin for error. We've increased the rear centre, lowered the BB and increased the trail. The handling is still fast, but we've added stability.

Modern road cyclists are looking for bikes that can cover long distances, set a fast pace, know no limits and offer maximum fun. By using lower modulus carbon fibre in key areas to mitigate the brittleness of high mod fibres, the Caledonia delivers performance, comfort and speed. Oh, and it's suitable for use with a 34mm tyre. Or 31mm with mudguards.


This bike arrives (almost) fully assembled. All you have to do is straighten the handlebars and attach the pedals.

Important safety information

The most comprehensive overview of relevant safety information and warnings can be found at in our user manual for bicycles. Please visit the following link to view the manual in full: Manual

We have listed some important points for you below. Please note that this list is not complete and we cannot guarantee its completeness

1. Assembly and operation: Ensure that all components of the bike are fully assembled in accordance with the operating instructions. Only use the bike if all bolts/nuts have been tightened to the prescribed torque. Read the user manual and all additional documentation carefully before using the bike for the first time

2. Permissible load: Do not exceed the total permissible load of the bike, as this can lead to breakage or failure of important safety components . The brake system is only designed for the permissible total load

3. Laws and regulations: Observe all local and national bicycle laws and regulations. These include licensing, helmet requirements, child carrier seats, bicycle traffic laws and regulations for lighting and reflectors

4. Bicycle registration: You must register your bicycle in order to be able to make warranty claims . Keep the user manual for future references and consult your specialist dealer if you have any questions about assembly and maintenance

5. Modifications and adjustments: Modifications to the components of your bicycle may impair safety and invalidate the warranty. Not all components or accessories are tested for compatibility and safety. Consult your specialist dealer before making any changes to the bike

6. Chassis and suspension: Improper adjustment of the suspension can lead to malfunctions and increase the risk of loss of control and accidents. Check the suspension regularly for visible damage and have any leaks or damage repaired immediately by your specialist dealer

7. Wheel safety: Do not ride with an improperly secured wheel or axle. This can cause the wheel to move or detach from the bike and cause an accident. Consult the axle manufacturer's instructions for correct installation

8. Brake lever and seat adjustments: Make sure that you can reach the brake levers when your hands are securely positioned on the handlebars. A brake that cannot be reached can lead to loss of control and an accident

9. Disc brakes: Do not touch disc brakes and rotors immediately after use, as they become very hot and can cause burns. Allow them to cool down completely before touching them

10. Handlebars and head tube: Changes to the handlebar height should only be made by a specialist dealer. Improper installation can damage the fork head tube and cause an accident. Do not remove any spacer rings from the fork steering column

11. Rotor sizes: Observe the rotor size restrictions of the fork manufacturer. A larger rotor than recommended can damage the fork, frame or other components and cause an accident

12. Handlebar grips and plugs: Use handlebar end plugs to cover the ends of the handlebars . Uncovered handlebar ends can cause injuries in the event of an accident

13. Saddle height adjustment: Incorrect saddle height adjustment can lead to falls, injuries and/or death. We recommend having all assembly and adjustment work carried out by a specialist dealer

14. Seat clamp bolts: Failure to tighten the seat clamp bolt in accordance with the seat post manufacturer's recommendations can damage the seat tube and cause an accident

15. Seat adjustment: An incorrectly adjusted or ill-fitting saddle can lead to injuries to soft tissue, nerves and blood vessels. Symptoms include pain, tingling, numbness or soreness

16. Air hoses at petrol stations: Do not use air hoses at petrol stations to inflate tyres. These air hoses can have inaccurate pressure values and inflate the tyres too quickly, which can lead to damage or tyre bursts

17. Tyre clearance: For front forks, there must be at least 6 mm of tyre clearance when the air is completely deflated from the fork and fully compressed. Measure around the edges of the inflated tyre and the fork crown, the fork leg and the head tube

18. Luggage carriers and trailers: The use of luggage carriers or trailers can impair the steering, suspension performance and other components and increase the braking distance. Do not overload the bike and make sure that luggage and carrier parts do not cover the lights or reflectors or come into contact with moving parts

19. Maintenance intervals: Observe the maintenance intervals. These serve as a guideline for normal operation and may vary depending on the conditions. Ensure that the bike is maintained in accordance with our specifications and that all maintenance work is documented. Components can fail if wear and damage are not identified in time. In the event of a collision or accident, consult your dealer immediately for inspection. Ensure regular maintenance, frequent inspections and replacement of parts as required .
