The frame itself is 28 grams lighter, whilst the fork saves 16 grams.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Let&#8217;s look at a few numbers first; I also have a number for the difference between this bike and the S5, which I found interesting.

The S5 with the aggressive HB19 bar, the one with the split, positive rise stem and 57\/64mm Reserve wheels, is 11.8 watts faster than the Soloist in the above spec.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">There&#8217;s also an additional 4.3-watt saving when the bike is ridden with the new Cerv\u00e9lo 650ml aero water bottles, which are included with the bike. The cages themselves will take a round bottle, and the aero bottles physically stand up on their own, which is a nice touch.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Interestingly, the brand says round bottles will add 6.3 watts of drag to the bike, and using Soloist aero bottles adds two watts over using none at all. Food for thought there if you are watt hunting.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Why don&#8217;t the Visma WorldTour team use the aero bottles? Simple: they have an existing bottle sponsor, though the aero bottle question sounds like it&#8217;s being worked on.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-imageGallery-cRaDG2arDdRXiu6C6DieVj-1MXWKmJpfSevXb8ghq6U5xQXKZJElEaY\" class=\"slice-container imageGallery-wrapper imageGallery-cRaDG2arDdRXiu6C6DieVj-1MXWKmJpfSevXb8ghq6U5xQXKZJElEaY slice-container-imageGallery\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"inline-gallery first-slide-only\">\n<p>Image <!-- -->1<!-- --> of <!-- -->2<\/p>\n<div style=\"overflow-x:hidden\" class=\"inline-gallery__items\">\n<div style=\"-webkit-flex-direction:row;flex-direction:row;-webkit-transition:all 0s ease 0s;transition:all 0s ease 0s;-webkit-transform:translate(0%, 0);transform:translate(0%, 0);direction:ltr;display:flex;will-change:transform\" class=\"react-swipeable-view-container\">\n<div style=\"width:100%;-webkit-flex-shrink:0;flex-shrink:0;overflow:auto\" aria-hidden=\"false\" data-swipeable=\"true\">\n<div class=\"items__item\">\n<div class=\"item__image-cont\">\n<div class=\"image-cont__image\">\n<figure class=\"image-wrapped__wrapper\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"false\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:985px\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__aspect-padding\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.6497461928934%\">\n<div style=\"display:contents\"><picture data-hydrate=\"true\"><source class=\"image-wrapped__image image__image\" type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SKSM4wruD5HMVpVfa298a4-320-80.jpg.webp 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SKSM4wruD5HMVpVfa298a4-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SKSM4wruD5HMVpVfa298a4-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SKSM4wruD5HMVpVfa298a4-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SKSM4wruD5HMVpVfa298a4-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SKSM4wruD5HMVpVfa298a4-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw -

It felt comfortable and smooth when up to speed, stiff and responsive when accelerating, and it handled very well when I pushed it into corners during our mini race.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">One minor concern for me related to the stock Cervelo out-front computer mount; it felt very flexible and nowhere near as solid as a lot of units I try. I didn&#8217;t have any issues, but I&#8217;d at least be double-checking it if paired with bigger units or with heavier lights and action cameras because it felt flimsy to me.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">I also believe bikes come with Vittoria Corsa N.Ext tyres; switching to premium Corsa Pros would also extract even more speed.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">There&#8217;s a solid bike at the heart of the Soloist; now that it&#8217;s received another update from Cerv\u00e9lo,<strong> <\/strong>it&#8217;s more competitive than before. It may not be as fast or as exciting as the S5, but it strikes me as exactly the kind of bike amateur riders buy and own for years, tackling races, epic rides, sportives and holidays on, and hanging on to it because it means so much to you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/bikes\/road\/not-every-road-bike-has-to-be-an-aero-spaceship-cervelo-launches-a-brand-new-soloist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cerv\u00e9lo has launched a new version of its Soloist road bike today.
