Cervelo Soloist 105 Disc Road Bike

Cervelo Soloist 105 Disc Road Bike

Race-winning heritage and reliable, performance-orientated components make Cervelo’s Soloist 105 Disc Road Bike a great choice for any terrain.

The frame’s geometry mirrors that of the highly successful R5 so it is plenty comfortable enough for long days and solo breakaways whilst still being fast and efficient enough at speed. Cervelo claims that the Soloist is 250 grams lighter than the S5 and 126 grams faster than the R5.

There are a number of practical touches that will be appreciated by home mechanics and privateer racers too; the bottom bracket is threaded for easier maintenance and replacement, there is space for 34mm tyres to increase the bike’s utility and Cervelo’s clever cable routing keeps everything out of the wind but doesn’t require a full bleed for a stem change or adjustment.

105 has long been Shimano’s best value performance groupset, providing excellent shifting and easy braking control. This 11-speed mechanical version has been proven as a dependable option that still offers all the shifting speed and precision of its more expensive siblings in the range whilst the hydraulic brakes are powerful and simple to modulate.

Wheels are courtesy of Alexrims, with their tubeless-ready Boondocks 5 model ideal for all-weather, year-round use. The shallow aluminium rims are untroubled by crosswinds and with 21mm internal width they are a good match to wider modern road tyres.
