Cervélo Soloist Frameset 2026 – Dark Slate / Serpentine

Your ultimate bike for everyday breakaways.

The Cervélo Soloist 105 Race 2026 marks the return of a true racing legend. Famous in the 2000s as the bike of choice for WorldTour teams like CSC and the Cervélo Test Team, the Soloist is back – redesigned to meet the needs of today’s ambitious riders. Whether you’re training hard, chasing the front group, or aiming for podiums at local races, the Soloist delivers performance without compromise.

This frameset is the perfect all-round aero road bike: it combines lightweight construction with aerodynamic efficiency, while still being practical enough for everyday conditions like crosswinds, long training rides, and unpredictable weather. Positioned between the Cervélo S5 and the R5, the Soloist offers the best balance of speed and climbing ability.

Key Features & Highlights

• Race-Ready Geometry – Inspired by the Cervélo R5, offering sharp handling, stability, and precise control on climbs, sprints, and descents.
