Cervelo Soloist Rival AXS delivers race-ready aero performance with integrated cockpit and built-in power meter
The Soloist Rival AXS closes the gap between race-ready hardware and accessible wireless drivetrain pricing: SRAM Rival AXS E1 with a stock power meter, UDH-compatible dropout for future Transmission compatibility, and Reserve wheels that most builds at this price point leave as an aftermarket upgrade. The R5-matched geometry means fit and handling translate directly across the Cervelo lineup, and 36mm tire clearance gives the Soloist room to run wider rubber than its aero profile suggests.
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The Reserve 40/44 pairing is a deliberate asymmetric choice. The shallower front wheel and deeper rear section put the aero return where it matters most on flat and rolling roads."
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.

Cervélo Soloist
Quick, Balanced, Race-Ready
Offering top-tier performance for serious racers at every level
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.
