Cervelo Soloist Force AXS arrives race-ready with integrated cockpit, power meter, and Reserve wheels built in
The Soloist Force AXS lands as a complete system upgrade over its predecessor: the claimed 8.6-watt aero gain and 267-gram system weight reduction come from a redesigned frame, integrated HB18 carbon cockpit, and the Reserve 42TA/49TA wheel pairing, not from spec-sheet arithmetic. The SRAM Force AXS E1 drivetrain with DUB crankset and integrated power meter closes the gap to Red-level data collection. UDH compatibility keeps the dropout future-proof for SRAM Eagle Transmission should the drivetrain ever evolve, two aero bottles are included, and 36mm tire clearance leaves room to run wider rubber on rougher courses.
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"Reserve's asymmetric wheel pairing, 42mm up front and 49mm in the rear, is a deliberate crosswind compromise: the front stays manageable in a gust while the rear keeps the aero numbers honest."
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 Gearhead® Experts are always here to help.

The Redesign Explained
More Aero, Less Weight
The frame and fork both gained surface area for better aero shaping, not more weight. Together they shed 44g, part of the bike's 267g system-wide weight savings.
A Lighter, Faster Cockpit
The new HB18 bar and stem are molded as one piece, replacing the old two-piece setup. That's 134g lighter and 5.8 watts faster than the previous cockpit.
Narrowing The Gap To S5
The Soloist saves riders 8.6 watts at race speed versus the previous generation. That closes the gap to Cervélo's fastest bike, the S5, to just 11.8 watts, the closest yet.
Race Geometry, Every Size
Every size gets its own geometry tune, not a scaled copy of one size. It matches Cervélo's R5 down to the millimeter, so the fit and handling are proven.
Tuned For Sharper Steering
Head tube stiffness increases 10 percent for sharper, more precise steering. Bottom bracket stiffness eases slightly, a small trade-off for that extra precision up front.
