Cervelo's carbon race machine pairs a built-in power meter with tubeless-ready Reserve wheels for serious road
The Cervelo Soloist Rival AXS arrives with Reserve 40/44 wheels and Vittoria Corsa N.EXT tubeless tires already set up to run tubeless, so the performance is there from the first ride. The asymmetric wheel pairing puts a shallower profile up front and a deeper section at the rear where aero gains matter most on flat and rolling roads, and the one-piece cockpit locks in the fit so both stories work together without adjustment.
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The stock power meter is what seals it for me. Training data from day one, no separate purchase, no compatibility guesswork with the wireless AXS setup already on the bike."
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.
