Cervelo Soloist Force XPLR AXS delivers 8.6 watts faster aero performance with integrated cockpit and Reserve
The Soloist Force XPLR AXS arrives as a complete aero platform built around R5-matched geometry in a CC carbon frame, with a one-piece Cervelo HB18 carbon cockpit and a SRAM Force XPLR AXS drivetrain. The UDH-compatible dropout is wired for electronic drivetrains only, and the SRAM Force crankset ships with a power meter already integrated, no aftermarket addition required. The system comes in 267 grams lighter than the previous generation, a delta that traces to the updated frame layup and cockpit integration rather than a single component swap.
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The asymmetric Reserve 42/49 wheel pairing is a deliberate aero-and-stability call. The deeper rear cuts drag on the straights while the shallower front stays predictable in crosswinds, and both hubs run DT Swiss 350 internals that service anywhere."
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.
