The Soloist is perhaps Cervelo’s most famous bike. In the early 2000s, it was the weapon of choice for top World Tour contenders on CSC and the Cervelo Test Team. And now it’s time for a new generation to get acquainted. Far from being pros-only, the new Soloist has been designed for the week-in, week-out amateur racer. It balances light weight and aerodynamic performance to deliver a bike that really is ‘just right’. Soloist comes in a hair lighter than S5, but significantly more aerodynamic than R5. That’s the kind of tradeoff we can get behind.
