The Cervelo Soloist Red AXS Bike is Cervelo's top-spec race build, pairing a full carbon frame and fork with Sram's Red AXS E1 groupset and Reserve carbon wheels for a complete bike that weighs in at 6.86 kg. This isn't a bike built around pro-tour marketing. Cervelo's pitch for the current Soloist is aimed at the rider who logs highway miles to make a Saturday start line, shows up for the Tuesday night fast ride, or gets a lap in before work — the kind of racer who gets into the break and makes their own luck. The Soloist has carried that identity for years, and this build is the sharpest expression of it yet.

Aero performance is the Soloist's core engineering focus. Cervelo redesigned the frame with a deeper head tube, deeper fork legs, and a bottom bracket junction that shields the rear wheel from airflow, cutting 8.6 watts of drag compared to the outgoing Soloist. Riders who use the included Cervelo WB003 aero bottles and cages pick up another 4.3 watts. It's a road bike built to reward sustained speed — chasing back onto a group, holding a breakaway, or simply riding faster for the same effort on a long solo ride.
The drivetrain is Sram's Red AXS E1, the brand's flagship 12-speed electronic groupset, running a 48/35 chainring pairing against a 10-33 cassette with hydraulic disc brakes and SRAM Paceline X centerlock rotors. The crankset integrates a power meter as standard, so structured training and race-day pacing come built in rather than bolted on later. Power gets to the road through Reserve's 42TA front and 49TA rear carbon wheels, laced to DT Swiss 240 Dicut hubs and built tubeless-compatible. These wheels come out of Reserve's Turbulent Aero program, which uses real-world wind data rather than pure wind-tunnel numbers to shape rims for stability in the crosswinds and gusts riders actually encounter on the road, not just in a controlled test environment.
Cervelo carries the aero-first approach through the rest of the build. The HB18 is a one-piece carbon…
