Cervélo Soloist Rival AXS 2026 Road Bike

The Soloist. It’s a name deep in Cervélo history, but instantly familiar to anyone with memories of early-2000s cycling. It was the weapon of choice for top World Tour contenders at CSC and the Cervelo Test Team, and now we’re bringing it back for a new generation. The new Soloist is designed for the week-in, week-out rider and racer who wants a single high-performance bike.

It balances lightweight and aerodynamic advantages to deliver a bike that’s truly ‘just right.’ The Soloist is slightly lighter than the S5, but significantly more aerodynamic than the R5, and uses the threaded bottom bracket standard you’ll also find on the R5-CX.

It’s a race bike capable of mechanical and electronic shifting, logging training miles in all weathers, yet still having the chops to jump in at that decisive moment. That’s the Soloist.
