Cervelo's carbon aero road bike arrives race-ready with a power meter and Reserve wheels included
The Cervelo Soloist Force XPLR AXS is a race-geometry carbon road bike rebuilt from the ground up, arriving 8.6 watts faster and 267 grams lighter as a system than the outgoing Soloist. The one-piece HB18 cockpit and R5-matched geometry work together to put serious riders in an aggressive position without a custom fit session, and the 13-speed 10-46T cassette means the same build handles a punchy criterium and a long day in the mountains without swapping wheels.
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The stock power meter on the SRAM Force crankset is what seals it for me. That's a training tool I'd normally need to add separately, and it's already dialed into a wireless AXS setup that shifts without thinking about it."
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 Gearhead® Experts are always here to help.

Cervélo Soloist
Quick, Balanced, Race-Ready
Offering top-tier performance for serious racers at every level
The Redesign Explained
More Aero, Less Weight
The frame and fork both gained surface area for better aero shaping, not more weight. Together they shed 44g, part of the bike's 267g system-wide weight savings.
A Lighter, Faster Cockpit
The new HB18 bar and stem are molded as one piece, replacing the old two-piece setup. That's 134g lighter and 5.8 watts faster than the previous cockpit.
Narrowing The Gap To S5
The Soloist saves riders 8.6 watts at race speed versus the previous generation. That closes the gap to Cervélo's fastest bike, the S5, to just 11.8 watts, the closest yet.
Race Geometry, Every Size
Every size gets its own geometry tune, not a scaled copy of one size. It matches Cervélo's R5 down to the millimeter, so the fit and handling are proven.
Tuned For Sharper Steering
Head tube stiffness increases 10 percent for sharper, more precise steering. Bottom bracket stiffness eases slightly, a small trade-off for that extra precision up front.
