Cervelo Soloist Force eTap AXS Disc Road Bike 2023 Intended as a one-bike solution for riders who relish speed on any course, the Cervelo Soloist Force eTap AXS Disc Road Bike borrows from both the S5 and R5 in its quest for performance. 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 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. Fully wireless and incredibly intuitive, SRAM’s eTap AXS system is a pleasure to use. With just a single paddle on either side, miss-shifts are all but impossible, and gear changes are rapidly and accurately performed, no matter the pressure on the pedals. SRAM’s X-Range concept uses smaller chainrings and a 10 tooth sprocket on the cassette to provide a wide range of gears with smaller gaps between them, making it easier to maintain optimum cadence. There is a Quarq power meter integrated into the chainset for more effective training and efficient riding. Bluetooth connectivity allows access to the AXS app for customisation options, system information and ride data whilst compatible head units can display gear selection and battery charge. Reserve wheels have quickly proven themselves to be light, fast and reliable. This aerodynamic 40/44 wheelset has a slightly shallower front rim for better handling and both rims have a very wide internal width for excellent sidewall support. Tubeless compatibility and Zipp hubs ensure top-drawer performance in every situation.
