Cervélo introduced the Soloist in the early 2000s as the everyday road bike for riders who wanted race-level performance without choosing between the S5’s aero focus and the R5’s climbing purity. It became the weapon of choice for top World Tour contenders on CSC and the Cervelo Test Team — riders who needed one bike that could handle everything from punchy climbs to fast flats. The Soloist sits precisely between those two flagships: lighter than the S5, more aerodynamic than the R5, with R5-derived handling geometry and a chassis that reflects Cervélo’s continued investment in road racing. It runs BBRight T47 threading, accepts up to 34mm tires, routes all cables fully internally (not through the stem), and is designed to carry Reserve carbon wheels on most builds.

RA Cycles stocks six Soloist builds, ranging from the entry-point Soloist 105 up through Force AXS and Ultegra Di2 configurations — with both disc and non-disc options across multiple colorways including Dark Slate, Serpentine, Embers, and Gold Dust. Whether you’re building toward your first race season or looking for a do-everything road bike that doesn’t compromise, there’s a Soloist build here for your riding.
