What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"If you like the feel of a clean cockpit and fewer drivetrain variables, this build makes a lot of sense. The Force AXS 1x setup is fast, quiet, and intuitive, and the Soloist frame still delivers that race-bike snap."
The Soloist Force AXS 1x is designed for riders who prioritize speed and simplicity above all else. Sitting between pure aero and lightweight climbing platforms, the Soloist frame delivers balanced performance that excels in real-world racing conditions. Aerodynamic tube profiles reduce drag at speed, while the overall weight stays low enough for aggressive climbing and repeated accelerations.
Cervélo’s carbon construction focuses on stiffness where it counts and stability at high speeds. Internal routing keeps airflow clean, and the threaded T47 bottom bracket improves durability and serviceability over time. Clearance for wider road tires allows the bike to adapt easily to rough pavement, high-volume training setups, or race-day rubber without compromising handling.
The Force AXS 1x drivetrain brings wireless simplicity and race-ready gearing to the platform. A single aero chainring up front reduces complexity, while the wide-range cassette delivers versatility across rolling terrain. Paired with fast wheels and a dialed race geometry, the Soloist Force AXS 1x is built for riders who want a focused, modern race bike that performs at its best when the pace is high.
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.
