The drivetrain runs Shimano Ultegra R8170 Di2, a 12-speed electronic group with the R8150 front and rear derailleurs shifting a 52/36T Ultegra crankset across an 11-34T cassette. That gearing covers steep climbs and fast descents without a gap that leaves you spinning out or grinding. A 4iiii Precision GEN3+ dual-sided powermeter comes integrated, so both legs report to your head unit from the first ride rather than requiring an aftermarket upgrade.

Wheels are Reserve, with a 42TA front and 49TA rear laced to DT Swiss 350 hubs on 24 spokes each. The staggered depths follow the same logic Cervelo uses across its aero range: a shallower front for crosswind manners and a deeper rear for sustained speed. Both rims are tubeless compatible and Center Lock, and they arrive wrapped in Vittoria Corsa N.EXT TLR G2.0 tires in 700x29c. Braking is Shimano Ultegra R8170 hydraulic with CL800 Center Lock rotors.

The FSA T47 BBRighT-47 bottom bracket first appeared on the R5-CX and suits riders logging big miles without a pro mechanic checking the bike daily. Threaded installation makes bottom bracket swaps straightforward and extends frame life compared to press-fit interfaces, which matters if you are running through hand-me-down components or servicing the bike yourself. The Soloist accepts both mechanical and electronic shifting, so the frame stays relevant if your build changes down the road. Cockpit duties fall to a Cervelo HB13 carbon handlebar with a 31.8mm clamp paired to a Cervelo ST36 alloy stem, and a Cervelo SP27 carbon seatpost carries a Prologo Nago R4 PAS Tirox saddle. Cervelo also integrates its Front Computer/Accessory Mount 810 and a rear accessory mount, keeping your head unit and rear light or radar cleanly attached. Pedals are sold separately. This is a race bike that can hammer out training miles in all weather and still leap off the front at the decisive moment. That is the Soloist.
