Cervelo Soloist Carbon
| Highlights |
|
|
 |
| |
Outstanding aerodynamics – Airfoil shapes designed by Cervélo for bicycle speeds, not for airplanes. Features that work, no aero gimmicks that work on a TT bike but not on a road bike.
No compromise - Extremely aerodynamic yet among the lightest frames in the pro peloton and with excellent stiffness & compliance properties.
Aero sloping toptube – Horizontal airfoil cross section for the toptube with 1:15 thickness-to-chord ratio make even the toptube an aero asset.
Stealth aero headtube – Hourglass shape on the sides allow for aero cross section without the need for a nose on the headtube.
Oversized bottom bracket area – Large diameter and smooth, optimized shapes increase bottom bracket stiffness for excellent power transfer from pedal to rear wheel.
ICS Internal Cable Stops - Cervélo’s standard setting cable routing system. Easy to install, easy to service, easy to keep clean and improved aerodynamics.
Flexible geometry – The 2-position seatpost (optional) allows you to put your saddle in a 76 degree seattube angle position, ideal for the occasional triathlon. As the S3 is more aero than most of the full TT bikes on the market, this offers great triathlon performance without the need for a second bike. Of course, for regular triathlon use, a triathlon bike is still a better choice, thanks to the 78 degree seattube angle and dedicated triathlon geometry. |

| Upgrades from S1 |
|
|
|
| |
Lighter frame – The S1 is very competitive in weight (as a past winner of Liège-Bastogne-Liège, it has to be), the use of carbon fiber allows a further weight reduction. This makes the S2 very competitive in weight even compared to frames without an aero advantage.
Higher bottom bracket and torsional stiffness - While even the biggest pro riders have no complaints about the S1’s stiffness, the S2’s additional torsional stiffness make it track through switchbacks in fast descents even better.
One-position aero carbon seatpost - To save weight, the S2 ships standard with an aero one-position seatpost. But the optional 2-position post will also fit on the S2, ideal for those looking to do the occasional triathlon in a moderately forward position.

| Airplanes require different airfoils than bicycles. Sounds logical, but many companies are so proud to say their airfoils come from the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics (NACA). So did we, 13 years ago. But now, we design our own specific airfoils, and it has led to significant improvements. It’s one of the reasons why we spend weeks and weeks in the windtunnel each year, not hours (if any) as is customary in the industry. When you have the most and the best engineers working on aerodynamic improvements and you give them more time to play in the windtunnel sand box than anybody else, you end up with faster bikes. Simple. |

| Smartwall™ for Carbon |
|
|
|
| |
Patent-pending technology from our carbon materials and manufacturing group, Smartwall elaborates on the Squoval tubeshape. With the sides far away from the center plane more important, we concentrate more material there to increase the benefit.
Strips of High and Ultra-high modulus carbon stiffen the sides of the main tubes to resist lateral bending. These strips are feathered in to properly transfer the loads from the joints into these tubes.
Finally, we add Kevlar to the headtube/downtube area for industry-leading impact strength. |

| Tech presentation - What Function? |
|
|
|
| |
The S2 is based on the FM28 platform, which first spawned the Soloist Carbon. This tech presentation details the developments of this project, including:
- the lead-up to the project,
- the goals,
- design challenges,
- R&D supporting the design decisions,
- the prototyping,
- the lab & road testing.
Our goal is to give you a real insight into how the Soloist Carbon came to be, why the details on the bike are as they are and what function this form follows. To view, click here. |

| Geometry |
The two seattube angles (73 & 76 degrees) can only be obtained with the optional two-position seatpost. With the single-position seatpost, only the 73 degree angle should be considered
|
|
|
| |
No custom Cervélo is needed even for the most demanding pros, that’s our conclusion after supporting hundreds of the world’s best athletes. The reason we don’t need customs where other bike companies do lies in our unique reach-based geometry. For an exhaustive explanation on why 6 Cervélo sizes fit more people than 12 “normal” sizes, check out our geometry tech presentation.

| Note 1: |
The standover height is measured to the toptube directly above the bottom bracket. |
| Note 2: |
The above headtube lengths are for integrated headsets. To compare to non-integrated headtubes, deduct 20mm from the above lengths to adjust for the stack height needed for non-integrated headsets. |
