What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I've ridden the Soloist as my do-it-all race bike, and it really hits that sweet spot between lightweight climbing efficiency and aero speed. It feels sharp and precise on descents, and the threaded T47 bottom bracket is a nice touch for long-term serviceability. If I could only have one high-performance road bike for training and racing, this would be it." When we roll out before sunrise chasing town-line sprints or lining up for a local crit, the Soloist Road Bike from Cervelo is the one we trust to do it all. Built for riders who want a single race-ready machine, Cervelo brings back a legendary name with a modern balance of aerodynamic shaping and low overall weight. It feels quick under power, eager to surge when the pace lifts, yet composed when the road tilts skyward. Borrowing its geometry directly from the revered R5, the Soloist delivers confident handling on technical descents and high-speed corners. The carbon frame is engineered to sit lighter than the S5 while offering more aerodynamic efficiency than the R5, creating a true one-bike quiver. A threaded BBright T47 bottom bracket enhances durability and simplifies maintenance, while compatibility with both mechanical and electronic drivetrains keeps build options open. With clearance for up to 34mm tires and fully internal cable routing, it is ready to hammer long training miles, pin on a number, and launch decisive attacks when it matters most. 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.
