Cervélo Soloist Red AXS black magic 2027: the high-end aero road bike

A premium configuration combining a fast carbon frame and electronic drivetrain SRAM Red AXS

THE Cervélo Soloist Red AXS black magic 2027 is a very high-end carbon road bike designed for cyclists who want to ride fast, attack, train seriously, and race with a lightweight, responsive, and aerodynamic bike. It embodies the spirit of the Soloist: a high-performance bike for fast weekday rides, intensive training, gran fondos, and weekend races.

This new generation of Soloist bikes improves both aerodynamics and weight. Cervélo announces a gain of 8.6 watts compared to the previous model, thanks to a deeper head tube, more aerodynamic fork legs, and a wider bottom bracket area that works in conjunction with the rear wheel. Despite a larger frame and fork surface area, the bike is also 267 grams lighter than its predecessor.

In this Red AXS version, the Cervélo Soloist receives an electronic transmission SRAM Red AXS E1 2x12 speed with power meter, Reserve 42TA / 49TA carbon wheels with hubs DT Swiss 240 Dicut, tires Vittoria Corsa Pro TLR G2.0 in 700x29c, a Cervélo HB18 Carbon one-piece cockpit, and a Cervélo WB003 aerodynamic water bottle with a bottle cage. A premium, lightweight, and fast build, with a claimed weight of only 6.86 kg.

Frame

Performance-oriented Soloist carbon frame

The Cervélo Soloist 2027 is designed for cyclists who want a fast, lightweight, and versatile bike. It's suitable for everything from quick daily rides to structured training, sportives, and road races.

8.6 watts faster

Using CFD analysis, Cervélo optimized the shape of the new Soloist to reduce drag. The deeper head tube, more aerodynamic fork legs, and redesigned bottom bracket area result in a claimed 8.6-watt saving compared to the previous model.

267 grams lighter than its predecessor

Despite a 3% increase in frame surface area and an 8% increase in fork surface area, Cervélo announces a weight saving of 267 grams compared to the previous generation. The result is a more aerodynamic bike, but also one that is significantly lighter.

Soloist carbon fork

The Cervélo All-Carbon Tapered Soloist Fork contributes to the precision of the steering, the integration of the bike and the aerodynamic gains of this new generation.

Aerodynamics

A bicycle designed as a complete system

The Soloist 2027 was developed by considering the bike as a whole: frame, fork, cockpit, wheels, tires, and accessories. Each area was optimized to reduce drag without sacrificing versatility or dynamic handling.

Optimized frontal area

The deeper head tube and redesigned fork legs improve airflow at the front of the bike. This optimization directly contributes to the new Soloist's increased speed.

Enlarged bottom bracket

The bottom bracket area has been widened to better accommodate the rear wheel and improve the overall aerodynamic efficiency of the frame.

Cervélo WB003 Aerodynamic Water Bottle

The Soloist Red AXS comes with a Cervélo WB003 aerodynamic water bottle and its holder. Cervélo claims that this system adds only about 2 watts of drag, compared to about 6.3 watts for a conventional round water bottle.

Cockpit

Cervelo HB18 Carbon one-piece cockpit
