When the Jumbo-Visma team decided it was time to tackle XCO racing. they turned to us to provide the answer. The ZHT-5 marks a new era for the team and Cervélo. as we will be racing together. Our engineering know-how has already proven itself in cyclocross (R5-CX) and gravel racing (Áspero). Now we've taken it to the next level and designed a mountain bike worthy of the Cervélo name. The ZHT-5 is a Cervélo through and through: fast. efficient and fun to ride. The 69-degree head tube angle. modern reach and short chainstays combine to make it a stable bike at high speeds and nimble enough when you need to elbow your way through the pack. There's enough clearance in the cockpit to feel comfortable on the handlebars. whether you're loading the front end into a tricky uphill hairpin or getting behind the saddle to save time on the downhill.

PRIORITY TO SPEED
Our mantra is to make cyclists faster. And to do that. we need to create bikes that turn power into acceleration with the best possible efficiency. And nothing is more efficient than a hardtail. But power is nothing without control. which is why we focused on creating a fast competition XC bike that handles with confidence in technical sections. making you want to ride even faster.
STIFF. LIGHT AND READY TO FIGHT
Weighing in at just 907g (size Medium). the ZHT-5 is a featherweight boxer with a top speed that only a hardtail can offer. Decades of building frames designed for the world's strongest sprinters have resulted in a super-stiff mountain bike that propels you forward without compromising weight or riding feel.
MODERN GEO FOR MODERN RIDERS
If you haven't ridden a hardtail in a while. you'll be amazed at how the ZHT-5's 69-degree head tube angle. 457mm reach (size L) and 430mm chainstays have modernised the way XC bikes ride. If you've ever ridden a bike like this. you'll be amazed at how we've managed to squeeze even more performance out of such a simple. clean design. The ZHT-5's geometry allows you to tackle tight corners and all the other difficulties that litter XC trails these days.
THIS ISN'T OUR FIRST RODEO
We know from our Cyclo-cross World Championship wins that when the going gets tough. threaded bottom brackets are the way to go. The ZHT-5 adopts the BSA threaded standard to meet the needs of racers and race mechanics for strength. rigidity. durability and ease of maintenance. This also makes it the ideal companion for winter training.
