The Cervélo Soloist 2026 brings a legendary name back to the peloton—revived, refined, and ready for real-world racing. Built for the committed cyclist who needs one do-it-all machine, the Soloist blends aerodynamic efficiency with low weight and exceptional ride quality. It’s a bike made to train on all week and race to win at the weekend.

Positioned perfectly between Cervélo’s flagship S5 aero rocket and the ultralight R5 climber, the Soloist strikes a ‘just right’ balance. With geometry inspired by the pro-proven R5 and a frame weight sitting neatly between its siblings, it delivers sharp handling and aerodynamic performance without the World Tour price tag. It’s 250g lighter than the S5, 250g heavier than the R5, and hits the wind 126g faster than the R5—all with practical, everyday race-ready engineering.

Designed for real-world riders, the Soloist features internal cable routing that stays out of the wind while keeping maintenance simple—no brake bleeds needed when adjusting your stem. The BBRighT-47 bottom bracket, borrowed from the R5-CX, ensures long-term reliability and easy servicing. With clearance for 34mm tyres, it’s built to handle rough surfaces and high speeds with equal confidence.

Key Features:

• Balanced performance between Cervélo S5 and R5

• R5-inspired race geometry for precision handling

• Internal cable routing that doesn’t require brake bleeding

• Tyre clearance up to 34mm (measured)

• Compatible with mechanical and electronic drivetrains

• BBRighT-47 bottom bracket for durability and easy maintenance

Whether you’re hammering through training rides or launching your next breakaway, the Cervélo Soloist 2026 is the one-bike solution for riders who want race-day performance without compromise.
