Cervelo Soloist Ultegra Di2 Bike Info

The Cervelo Soloist Ultegra Di2 Bike carries one of the most storied names in modern road racing. In the early 2000s, the Soloist was the weapon of choice for World Tour contenders on CSC and the Cervelo Test Team — a race machine that earned its reputation at the highest level of the sport. Cervelo is bringing it back for a new generation, and the brief they gave themselves is straightforward: the one high-performance bike a serious rider needs. Lighter than the S5, significantly more aerodynamic than the R5, and equipped with a full carbon component spec and a built-in dual-sided power meter at $7,350, the Soloist makes a compelling case.

The carbon aero frame features fully internal cable routing and a BBright T47 bottom bracket — Cervelo's proprietary shell combining the structural rigidity of BBright geometry with the serviceability of a threaded interface. The handling geometry is drawn directly from the R5, a bike respected across the peloton for its stability, precision, and confidence on technical descents. Aero tube shaping keeps drag low without compromising the ride quality that makes R5 geometry so effective mile after mile. Cervelo's all-carbon fork and SP27 carbon seatpost anchor the chassis, while the HB13 carbon handlebar delivers front-end stiffness without the weight of an alloy cockpit.

Shimano's Ultegra Di2 12-speed electronic groupset handles shifting. The R8170 brake-shift levers connect to R8150 front and rear derailleurs for crisp, immediate response under load — the kind of shifting that doesn't require conscious thought mid-effort. The Shimano Ultegra R8100 crankset arrives with a 4iiii Precision Pro GEN3+ Dual Sided Power Meter already installed. Left and right power measurement at this price point is exceptional; most bikes in this category ship with no power meter or a single-sided unit. Getting dual-sided data from day one fundamentally changes how a rider trains and races. A 52/36T chainring setup pairs with an 11-34T Ultegra cassette for a wide range covering everything from criterium sprints to extended climbing days. Shimano Ultegra R8170 hydraulic disc brakes with CL800 Centerlock rotors deliver reliable, modulated stopping power in any weather.

The Reserve 42TA/49TA carbon wheelset — paired with DT Swiss 350 hubs — is the kind of spec typically found on purpose-built race builds rather than stock complete bikes. The asymmetric rim depths (42mm front, 49mm rear) balance aerodynamic efficiency with real-world crosswind handling. Both wheels are tubeless compatible. Vittoria Corsa N.EXT TLR G2.0 tires in 700x29 roll front and rear — a race-proven tubeless tire with low rolling resistance and puncture protection capable of handling both training days and race day.

Design Benefits

Heritage geometry, modern aero: R5-derived handling on an aerodynamic platform — stable, predictable, and fast in real-world riding conditions.
Dual-sided power meter included: The 4iiii Precision Pro GEN3+ measures left and right independently. Race-quality training data built into the base price.
Carbon race wheels, ready to ride: Reserve 42|49TA rims with DT Swiss 350 hubs — tubeless-ready and spec'd for competition, not just training.
Electronic precision, all conditions: Ultegra Di2 delivers consistent, immediate shifting regardless of fatigue, weather, or effort level.
Built for year-round racing: Hydraulic disc brakes, threaded BB serviceability, and a weather-capable spec make this a genuine all-season machine.

Final Take

The Soloist doesn't ask you to choose between a training bike and a race bike. It's light enough to climb, aero enough to matter in a sprint, and equipped well enough to serve as a rider's primary machine across the full calendar. The dual-sided power meter, Reserve carbon wheels, and Ultegra Di2 groupset are components you'd pay significantly more to spec into a custom build. At $7,350, the Cervelo Soloist Ultegra Di2 makes the case for itself without much help.

The RA Perspective

The Soloist has a name that means something to anyone who grew up watching road racing in the early 2000s. When Cervelo told us they were bringing it back, we were paying close attention — and the bike lives up to the history. We've put it through the kind of mixed conditions that reveal a bike's character: wet descents, sustained climbs, and fast group rides where handling precision matters as much as raw power output.

What stands out first is how composed the Soloist feels underway. The R5 geometry grafted onto an aero platform gives the bike a predictability that pure aero machines often sacrifice. It corners with confidence, settles into a straight line without nervous instability, and rewards a rider who wants to think about the race rather than managing the bike. The HB13 carbon bar and SP27 carbon seatpost take the edge off rougher road surfaces without softening the chassis where it counts.

The 4iiii dual-sided power meter is the spec we keep circling back to when we talk to customers about this bike. At $7,350, you're getting a complete race build with pro-grade training data already installed — left and right power balance, not just a total wattage number. Most riders at this level haven't trained with dual-sided data before. It changes how you understand your pedaling efficiency, and it changes what you do about it.

If you're the rider who wants one high-performance bike that handles Tuesday crits, Saturday climbs, and Sunday long rides without compromise, the Soloist is worth a serious look. It's not a single-discipline race machine — it's the bike that does it all, and does each thing well.
