CERVÉLO SOLOIST – 2027 SRAM RIVAL

The 2027 Cervélo Soloist Rival AXS is a high-performance, versatile carbon road bike bridging the gap between lightweight climbing agility and aero efficiency. It features updated frame aerodynamics, a wireless SRAM Rival AXS 12-speed electronic groupset complete with a power meter, and a mixed Reserve 40/44 carbon wheelset. It is built for pure speed and everyday racing utility, making it a top choice for fast group rides, local criteriums, and aggressive training.

Designed For:

The Cervélo Soloist Rival AXS is designed for high-speed training, spirited club rides, sportives, and competitive road racing. It targets riders looking for the “Goldilocks” balance—aerodynamic gains and stiffness when pushing the pace on the flats, combined with a lighter, responsive chassis for floating up climbs.

Highlights:

The Soloist has always been built for riders willing to take risks, get into the break, and make their own luck. Sitting neatly between the ultra-aerodynamic S5 and the featherlight R5, the latest generation Soloist drops weight while slicing through the wind even more efficiently.

Using advanced CFD analysis, the frame features a deeper head tube, more aerodynamic fork legs, and a redesigned bottom bracket area that shields the rear wheel, saving 8.6 Watts over its predecessor. Despite an increase in surface area, clever carbon optimization makes the new frame significantly lighter. To maximize integration and save extra grams, it utilizes an advanced, one-piece Cervélo HB18 carbon handlebar/stem system.

The bike rolls on a differentiated Reserve 40/44 carbon wheelset—pairing a slightly shallower 40mm front wheel for crosswind stability with a deeper 44mm rear wheel for maximum aerodynamic transfer. Outfitted with wide Vittoria Corsa N.EXT tubeless tires, it delivers exceptional grip, low rolling resistance, and smooth compliance over imperfect tarmac.
