Cervélo's new Soloist bike is a game-changer for serious racers, offering top-tier performance without the pro price tag. With a focus on speed and weight savings, the Soloist boasts a deeper head tube and fork legs, a BB junction that shields the rear wheel, and aero bottles that reduce drag. The result? A bike that's 8.6 watts faster and 267g lighter than the outgoing model, with an additional 4.3 watts saved if you use the dedicated aero bottles. The Soloist is available in various builds, all equipped with carbon wheels, a powermeter, and an integrated handlebar/stem, and it's compatible with electronic drivetrains and 160mm front brake rotors. The price starts at £5,500, making it an affordable option for serious racers. The Soloist's geometry has been tweaked to accommodate larger tyre sizes, and the integrated handlebar/stem offers a range of adjustability options to ensure a perfect fit for all riders. Overall, the Cervélo Soloist is a must-have for serious racers who want to perform at the top level without breaking the bank.
