![]() ![]() ![]() That's the kind of tradeoff we can get behind. Soloist comes in a hair lighter than S5, but significantly more aerodynamic than R5. It balances light weight and aerodynamic performance to deliver a bike that really is 'just right'. Far from being pros-only, the new Soloist has been designed for the week-in, week-out amateur racer. And now it’s time for a new generation to get acquainted. In the early 2000s, it was the weapon of choice for top World Tour contenders on CSC and the Cervélo Test Team. The Soloist is perhaps Cervélo's most famous bike. IMPORTANT NOTE: We always recommend there to be 4mm of clearance around whichever tire/wheel combo is installed on the bike. Of course, there are variables-rim width, tire casing/tread depth-which will affect final clearance. We engineered the bike to fit most 700x42 or 650x49 tire/wheel combos, comfortably. The ability to adjust trail with the two-position "Trail Mixer" to compensate for the extreme range of tire sizes ensures a uniform ride experience. "Trail", or front wheel response to rider input, is the most critical factor in high-velocity handling. Most gravel racing is done without the benefit of a World Tour peloton-or World Tour tactics-and when it's your nose in the wind all day, it's nice to know your bike's shouldering a bit of the load. Some might say aero doesn't matter on a gravel bike, but if you've battled a headwind across an open prairie, the thirty-two grams of drag you'll save with the Aspero-5 come as a welcome respite. No cables in the wind, tubes derived from our library of aerodynamically proven shapes, and just a hint of a cut out in the seat tube to squeak out just a bit more tire clearance, add up to a bike that proves the adage. Our engineers like to say, "If it looks fast, it probably is"-but there's some truth to it, and Aspero-5 looks fast standing still. A faster Aspero, a lighter Aspero, and-dare we say it-an even better-looking Aspero. And because at Cervelo we know that flat out doesn't stay flat out for long without a little help from science, we've come back from the drawing board with a new Aspero. That's how Aspero debuted under the characters of the Wednesday Night Rough Club two years ago, and that's how it's stayed. ![]() BBright is compatible with all major crank standards.Flat Out. The benefit is increased stiffness and pedaling efficiency in a lighter weight frame. With the BBright system, larger-sized tubes are used in the seat tube, down tube, and left-hand chainstay. This design also incorporates the rear derailleur hanger and comes in different versions (threaded, RAT-style), allowing you to easily update your frame and fork if standards change.Ĭervelo developed BBright to take advantage of the fact that oversized frame tubes are stiffer and lighter. Our two-part floating rear derailleur hanger is designed to allow for easy alignment of the rear dropouts, ensuring that the rear axle can be installed quickly and simply every time. The Cervelo frame, fork, handlebars, and associated components are designed to hide brake and shift control lines (mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic) from the wind for improved aerodynamics without sacrificing usability or performance. It offers a wide range of positions for all athletes, from endurance riders to Pro-Tour racers, without compromising handling, comfort, or performance. Our Elite Fit is based on extensive observations and analysis of riders’ positions. ![]() With such huge gains being made at this highly competitive performance level, the S reflects our commitment to bringing tangible aero gains within reach of more riders. ![]()
