Cervélo Soloist Force AXS Bicycle – Aero-Lightweight Road Bike for Racing and Training
Your daily ally for successful breakaways
The bicycle Cervélo Soloist Force AXS is designed for ambitious cyclists who train consistently but demand race-level performance. It is a bike inspired by the legendary versions used in the early 2000s by professional teams, but today it targets a new generation of athletes. With a balanced design between lightness and aerodynamics, the Soloist perfectly positions itself among Cervélo's top-tier models: lighter than the S5 and more aerodynamic than the R5.
It is the perfect bike for club races, long training sessions, and decisive breakaways. Agile uphill, stable downhill, responsive to sprints: a complete race bike.

A Complete Guide to Bike Sizes
Foreword: Not all bike sizes are the same
Each type of bike has a specific frame and often uses a different size scale. For example, a road bike with a 54cm frame might be considered a medium size by one brand, but a large by another.
Bicycle adjustment margins
Some types of bikes, like gravel bikes, offer a wide range of adjustments, adapting to different body types. Other models, however, have limitations in this regard. This is an important aspect to consider.
