New Cervelo CX bike ridden by Vos. Mix between Aspero 5, and R5. Has hidden cables but also regular seat stays. Round post. Likely higher BB than Aspero/5. No other info.

I'm in the market for a new CX frame next year and that looks really nice to me. Not sure yet how I think about integrated brake lines on a CX bike but I guess it's a thing on CX bikes too. Stevens does the same with their new Super Prestige.

Edit: What bike was Wout riding last cx season? It looked similar but without integrated cables.

Looks pretty much as expected. Looks like a D shaped seatpost that' could be different than the R5/Caledonia 5. Not sure. Pretty overkill seat-post clamping. Hopefully the geo is good. Definitely looks like the top tube is pretty horizontal. Which I get why, but in smaller sizes makes stand over too tall. Needs a bit of slope. I think the Boone gets it right. Then if it’s taller not much seatpost showing. Like the Ridley CX, Eli’s bike doesn’t have much seat-post. I’m on 54cm bikes and on the in between end of 54 vs 52. And 52s are generally too small for stack.

Best new CX bikes:
-this
-Boone (no new thread for the new release)
-Cube (underrated and nice)
-Stevens (new SP with hidden cables)

Okay:
-Ridley (not a fan of geo)

Old:
-Canyon

Meh:
-Crux (meh, and too expensive)
-Santa Cruz (meh)

I think it was feature request from Wout van Aert, he used double clamping for many seasons on all of his CX bikes

He did a couple of rides on an earlier proto of this towards the end of the season.

Though since it already had hidden cables you're right, the one Maddie is referring to was the Zolder.
