About this product
The Cervelo Soloist 105 Race Carbon Wheel Road Bike (SKU: CVL1X54) is built around an all-carbon frame with a tapered Soloist fork, drawing its geometry directly from the R5 for precise, confidence-inspiring handling. Aerodynamic tube shaping keeps weight in check without the penalties of a dedicated aero platform, and the frame carries a lifetime manufacturer warranty. A full Shimano 105 mechanical groupset handles shifting duties, pairing a 12-speed R7101 cassette (11 to 34t) with 52/36t chainrings, hydraulic disc brakes with Shimano CL700 centerlock rotors, and 12x100mm front plus 12x142mm rear thru-axles. The crankset integrates a 4iiii Precision Gen3+ single-sided power meter, adding training data without a separate purchase. Reserve 40 front and Reserve 44 rear wheels roll on 700x29c Vittoria Corsa N.EXT TLR G2.0 tires, offering a balance of speed and comfort on varied road surfaces. Finishing kit includes a Cervelo HB13 carbon handlebar, Cervelo SP27 carbon seatpost, and a Prologo Nago R4 PAS Steel saddle. Handlebar width and stem length scale with frame size, ranging from 36cm and 80mm on the 48cm frame up to 42cm and 110mm on the 58 to 61cm sizes.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the Cervelo Soloist 105 Race Carbon Wheel Road Bike for its sublime handling, aero efficiency, and well-balanced geometry that sits between the R5 and S5 in Cervelo's lineup. The stiff carbon frame delivers snappy acceleration and planted cornering, while the internal cable routing system earns specific praise for making maintenance and stem swaps easy without bleeding the brakes. The Reserve carbon wheelset is highlighted as a strong value-add at this price point. The most common complaints center on a firm, unforgiving ride on rough roads and component choices that some reviewers consider modest for the asking price. A few users also flag potential bottom bracket creaking and note that cockpit sizing (handlebar and crankset) may not suit all riders without additional spending.
