Modern aero efficiency and wireless shifting define the Soloist Rival AXS road bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:


"If you want a race-capable bike with wireless shifting that doesn’t feel overbuilt or overly specialized, this is a great choice. The Rival AXS setup is dependable and the Soloist frame feels fast without being demanding."


The Soloist Rival AXS is designed for riders who want one high-performance road bike that can handle consistent training, fast group rides, and race-day efforts. Positioned between pure aero and pure climbing platforms, the Soloist frame delivers a rare balance of speed, efficiency, and ride quality. Aerodynamic shaping improves real-world speed, while a lighter overall build keeps the bike responsive when the road tilts upward.


Cervélo’s carbon construction emphasizes stiffness under load and stability at speed, creating a confident ride whether you’re descending at pace or sprinting out of the saddle. Internal cable routing maintains clean airflow, and the threaded T47 bottom bracket enhances long-term durability and ease of service. Clearance for wider road tires allows the bike to adapt to rough pavement, endurance-focused setups, or race-ready rubber.


The Rival AXS build brings modern wireless shifting and wide-range gearing to the platform. SRAM’s electronic drivetrain offers consistent performance in all conditions, while race-ready wheels keep acceleration crisp and predictable. For riders seeking a do-it-all race bike with modern technology and everyday usability, the Soloist Rival AXS hits the sweet spot.


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.
