What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I like how the Soloist doesn’t force you to choose between an aero bike and a climbing bike. The frame feels stiff at the bottom bracket, tracks confidently at speed, and the 34mm tire clearance adds real-world versatility. The threaded T47 interface is a mechanic-friendly bonus, especially if you’re putting in big training volume."
The Soloist Road Bike represents Cervélo’s answer to the rider who demands race-level performance in every ride. Designed as a modern evolution of an early-2000s icon, the Soloist blends aerodynamic efficiency with a lightweight carbon layup to create a platform that thrives in fast group rides, road races, and long solo efforts alike. By positioning the Soloist between the S5 and R5, Cervélo achieves a careful equilibrium of drag reduction and climbing agility, making it a true high-performance all-rounder.
The frame uses race-proven geometry drawn directly from the R5, delivering sharp steering precision and balanced weight distribution for confident descending. A BBright T47 threaded bottom bracket enhances stiffness at the drivetrain interface while improving long-term serviceability. The chassis supports both mechanical and electronic drivetrains, offering broad compatibility across Shimano and SRAM 12-speed systems. Disc brake integration with 12x100mm front and 12x142mm rear thru-axles ensures braking consistency and wheel security under race loads. Clearance for tires up to 34mm expands setup options for rough pavement and endurance-focused builds.
Whether built with alloy or carbon cockpit components and paired with alloy or carbon wheelsets, the Soloist is engineered as a single-bike solution for serious road cyclists. It is purpose-built for high-speed training, competitive racing, and riders who want aerodynamic gains without sacrificing everyday usability.
Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
