Cervélo Soloist Rival AXS cloud break 2027: the accessible and high-performance aero road bike

A modern configuration designed to deliver excellent performance and precise gear changes

THE Cervélo Soloist Rival AXS cloud station wagon 2027 This is a carbon road bike designed for cyclists who want to ride fast, progress, attack when the opportunity arises, and enjoy a high-performance platform on every ride. It embodies the spirit of the Soloist: a fast, light, and versatile bike, equally at home on daily training rides, fast-paced club outings, gran fondos, or first 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 Rival AXS version, the Cervélo Soloist receives an electronic transmission SRAM Rival AXS E1 2x12 speed with power meter, Reserve 40/44 carbon wheels with Reserve hubs, tires Vittoria Corsa N.EXT TLR G2.0 in 700x29c, a Cervélo HB18 Carbon one-piece cockpit, and a Cervélo WB003 aerodynamic water bottle with bottle cage. A modern, efficient, and comprehensive setup to enjoy a high-performance Soloist with wireless drivetrain.

Frame

Performance-oriented Soloist carbon frame

The Cervélo Soloist 2027 is designed for cyclists who want a fast, lightweight, and versatile bike. It's ideal for quick daily rides, 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 Rival 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
