Why We Like The Cervelo Soloist Force eTap AXS Road Bike
The Cervelo Soloist Force eTap AXS Road Bike is a 12-speed machine that sits between the S5 and the R5 on Cervelo’s performance scale, making it the ideal choice for riders who are looking for speed and aerodynamics mixed with comfort and a lower price tag. The geometry of the Soloist is modeled closely to that of the R5, providing the same stability and precision with optimized aerodynamics in its race-shaped carbon frame, fork, and angles. For extra comfort without sacrificing even the slightest bit of strength, Cervelo added in the Selle Italia NOVUS BOOST EVO Superflow saddle to support our ischial bones and reduce pressure on the perineum.
This model of the Cervelo Soloist is spec’d with Force eTap AXS, providing intuitive shifting logic, modern gearing, and advanced chain management with this reliable electronic groupset. This 12-speed road bike features a 10-33T cassette with 48/35T chainrings on the SRAM Force AXS crankset, which also includes a power meter, to ensure we have a wide variety of gearing for any kind of adventure. The BBRighT-47 bottom bracket extends the life of our frame, makes swapping out brackets hassle-free, and keeps us riding for long periods stress-free.

Great road bike!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- 58
Been riding for several years and finally upgraded to this bike. Arrived set up as tubeless from Backcountry, and minimal set up to finish putting it together. Handling is great, and with the lower pressures on the NEXT tires it’s been very comfortable on the roads. So far no creaking on the seat post or BB thankfully. The black paint is much prettier in person as well!

Cervelo Soloist Force eTap AXS Road Bike
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I just had my first ride on this Cervelo, I believe it's my fastest and best looking bike I have ever had. I felt like a sprinter, it just takes off without even trying. It's even faster than my last generation S5. I get a lot of compliments on the Gold Dust. Professional Build, thanks guys this is the 2nd Cervelo I ordered from you and won't be the last.
