Cervelo Soloist Ultegra Di2 Disc Road Bike 2023 Conceived as an all-conquering option, the Soloist Ultegra Di2 Disc Road Bike takes its aerodynamic cues from Cervelo’s rapid S5 along with weight-saving ideas from the R5. 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. Each shift across the 12-speed cassette is actuated by a light click of the lever, with just as little effort needed to swap chainrings too, thanks to Shimano’s electronic Di2 groupset. Part wired and part wireless, the system can be connected to a compatible GPS unit for extra information and the E-Tube app allows customisation of some shifting functions. Servo Wave technology from Shimano’s mountain bike range provides better modulation and improved braking power whilst an increased pad gap means less chance of unwanted rotor contact. 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.
