THE SOLOIST-THE EVERYDAY BREAKAWAY BIKE
The Cervélo Soloist is a race-bred road bike that feels right at home in Chicago’s vibrant cycling scene. With its aerodynamic carbon frame and aggressive geometry, it’s built for speed—perfect for hammering down the Lakefront Trail or slicing through the city’s grid of bike-friendly streets. Whether you're chasing breakaways on group rides or navigating the urban sprawl, the Soloist delivers responsive handling and smooth power transfer. Available at Kozy’s Cyclery, a Chicago institution since 1944, this bike pairs cutting-edge performance with local expertise, making it a top choice for riders who want to go fast and ride proud in the Windy City.

Cervelo took the handling geometry for the Soloist directly from R5. The R5 is beloved by pros and amateurs alike for its poise, stability, and precision when that killer climb turns into an even more killer descent. Soloist benefits from the decades of race bike geometry development, and comes out of the gate ready to go.

Soloist sits right between S5 and R5 on the performance scale, while having a price tag that’s less World Tour, more Road Trip. It’s about 250g heavier than R5, and 250g lighter than S5. It’s 190g slower than S5, but 126g faster than R5. You get the idea. It’s the ‘just-right’ answer for the rider trying to find a smart, intentional compromise.
CLEARANCE TO BUZZ THE TOWER
The Soloist fits tires up to 34mm (measured), and wheels wide enough to support them.
