When Cervelo decided they wanted to revive the Soloist, they wanted to design it around the perfect balance of light weight and aerodynamic performance that the week-in, week-out amateur racer needs. Taking geometry hints from the R5, the Soloist handles like a champ on the most technical of courses we face. Featuring Cervelo's World-Tour tested carbon layup, the new Soloist is not only extremely light, but it will also hold up to the abuse of a full season of racing and training. A new internal cable routing system that threads the cables under the stem not only creates a clean, aerodynamic cockpit, it also eliminates the need for bleeding the brakes if you need to make a stem swap. The full-carbon fork and rear triangle also accommodate up to 34mm tires so we don't have to fret about tire choice when a course has more potholes than we'd like. Sporting the new 12-speed Shimano 105 Di2 groupset, the Cervelo Soloist 105 Di2 build provides fast, precise, and reliable shifting in a wallet-friendly package. The pairing of a 50/34t crankset up front and an 11-34t cassette out back provide a gear range that inspires us to tackle that next uphill sprint with confidence. Ever reliable Fulcrum Racing 600 DB wheels and 28mm Vittoria Rubino Pro TLR G keep us grounded and ensure that our race at least feels smooth even when the roads are rough. *Due to a high demand in the global supply chain and bike industry since the start of the pandemic, material weight and exact components are subject to change. We are working diligently to keep tech specs updated, and any adjustments will be of equal or better spec level.
