Cervelo Soloist - RA Cycles

Cervelo Soloist

The Cervélo Soloist is for the rider who needs one bike that handles everything. Cervélo positions it precisely between its two flagship road platforms — lighter than the S5, more aerodynamic than the R5 — making it the choice when you can’t afford to give anything up. The Soloist traces its racing lineage directly to CSC and the Cervelo Test Team, where World Tour riders raced it as their everyday weapon through the early-2000s peak of road racing. That heritage shows in the details: R5-derived handling geometry for confidence at race pace, BBRight T47 threading for stiffness and compatibility, fully internal cable routing (not through the stem), and clearance for tires up to 34mm. Most builds come specced with Reserve carbon wheels from the factory. Six builds are available at RA Cycles, ranging from Shimano 105 to Force AXS, with disc and non-disc options across a range of colorways.

About the Cervélo Soloist

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. Visit Cervélo’s official website for the full story.

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.
