Everyday race performance meets balanced aero speed with the Soloist 105 Race road bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:


"I’d pick this build for riders who want race-ready performance without the electronic price jump. The handling feels sharp like a pure race bike, but it’s forgiving enough for long training blocks and rough pavement. It’s the kind of bike I’d happily line up with on race day and still ride all week."


We reach for the Soloist 105 Race when we want one bike that does everything well. From early-morning training laps to aggressive group rides and start-line moments, this bike carries race DNA without demanding race-day-only compromises. Cervélo brings the Soloist name back as a true all-rounder, blending aerodynamic shaping with low weight and confidence-inspiring geometry borrowed directly from the R5.


The Soloist 105 Race build leans into mechanical reliability and modern road standards. The carbon frame balances stiffness and compliance, while clearance for wider tires lets us tune comfort and grip without sacrificing speed. Shimano’s 105 drivetrain delivers crisp, consistent shifting mile after mile, and the upgraded wheelset gives this build the snap it deserves when the pace ramps up.


Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.

The Cervélo Difference

Cervélo was founded in 1995 by engineers with a singular focus: measurable speed. From the start, the brand has taken an uncompromising, data-driven approach to bike design, defining clear performance goals, validating them through testing, and refining every detail until gains are proven.

This process has produced some of the most aerodynamically efficient, lightweight, and stiff bikes in the sport. Across road, aero road, triathlon, endurance, and track platforms, Cervélo continues to set benchmarks for performance and efficiency, trusted by professional teams and riders who demand results they can feel on the road.
