Wow, very detailed and reasonable review of a beautiful and smart road bike. Really like it to be my first roadie. Thank you so much for this big help!
And to think for two years I handle these bikes at work hated it but I didn't really know what was. It was just some bike then one day I just looked it up online. Now I'm super happy that I have like two thousand of these bicycles at my work..
This bike is awesome! Fast, easy to work on and beautiful! Haters want to talk about older bikes, but they always omit one thing…how ugly older rim bikes are. Wack paint schemes and wires/hoses all outside the bike. The Cerveló Soloist really is the only bike you need and it inspires you to ride everyone you look at it!
Do 200+km's a week and love it, Wouldnt want any other bike. . Does eveything. Extremely stable and smooth, climbs well and has enough aero to keeps up with my friends on their TT bikes. Cant fault it.
Excellent video. I just picked up the exact same bike (wanted the gold dust color 😢). Your explanation of the bike was spot on. Looking forward to hearing your updates about the ride quality.
I have a 2023 Soloist with 105 Di2, added ultegra crank, stages left PM, and reserve 50/50 wheels. I want to upgrade the bar/stem to fully integrate. Still looking at options.
Yes I agree love the gloss, I got the s1 still
Me too 😁
You can swap r5 stem and spacers to make it totally internal cable routing
I did and the upgrade was not a lot of money. Looks great!
what spacer did you use? what were all the parts you used@@davegeraci633
This video helped me order one! also how do i get that hat?
I prefer gloss too. Give it a polish and a coat of wax and it looks a million bucks.
FYI Cervelo and Santa Cruz are the same company, meaning: Reserve wheels ARE Cervelo's in-house brand.
@@berkshirebikeandboard6020 They may say they are operating independently (and I'm not even sure if that is true), but Pon did not acquire them to permit them to operate independently. Companies like Pon Holdings do not acquire companies like Cervelo to "let them just do their own thing." And the fact that Cervelo has Pon "in house" Reserve wheels on it pretty much proves Cervelo is not "just doing their own thing"!
At the end of the day Pon is the parent and owner of both Cervelo and SC and they direct what they want them to each do. And yes, now that Cervelo is under the same parent umbrella as SC those Reserve wheels are effectively an in house brand that they and SC share. I highly doubt had Cervelo been independent of Pon they would choose to put Reserve wheels on any bike with their name on it. They are using those wheels because Pon directed that to happen to cut costs on their Cervelo branded bikes.
The entire point of consolidations like this is to reduce costs and a major way of doing that is with shared "in house" components. So yes, they are in house wheelsets from both Cervelo and SC viewpoints.
@@rcg9573 Yep, reduce costs for the company but increase costs for the consumer.
They are only connected because both are owned by the same company, Pon Holdings bought Santa Cruz. I believe they own other bike brands too. That’s it.
Is gold dust going to be available for 2024?
Can you tell me what the year on the frame states, I was sold mine as a 2024 and the frame says 2023
Do you know how much the stack can be increased via spacers? How many mm's can we add to the stack defined in the geometry charts?
According to soloist manual, total maximum spacer height will be accepted up to 52mm including bearing top cap.
What about getting rid of water/rain that runs into the opening where the cables go into the frame at the head tube?
Good observation. This is an issue with many internally routed cable set ups like this including the Deda Box stem. I suspect the consumer will simply be left to deal with it when issues arise. It would not bother me for riding in dry environments, but no way I'm riding that set up in an area with regular rain and wet conditions.
What has been changed from the 2023 model and do you happen to know the release date?
Frame-wise, no big updates.
They no longer sell the white color
No big updates or no updates at all?
I’m looking at this exact spec, compared to a Tarmac SL8 pro. I know the tarmac costs more but also has a power meter, deeper wheels, and a cleaner cockpit. If I got the soloist I’d be replacing the heavy bars, stem, and saddle.
HELP! What do I get?
A supersix evo of course
Still no pressfit BB for Soloist in 2024?!
Thanks for the video. How much does your build weigh?
I have the 2023 model in a size 51 and it comes in at 16.5 lbs bare bike.
I’m getting an Ultegra di2 version, 54cm, and they weighed it in the shop (no pedals) and it was 16.8 lbs.
Will alpenglow be available on the 2024 model?
Are there any new colors available on the 24 vs 23?
2024??
PLEASE ANSWER about the bike weight - especially since this is 56cm which is my exact size - thanks
I’m getting a 54 in Ultegra di2 and I saw the shop weigh it at 16.8 lbs, no pedals. Could likely loose 100g with an Easton carbon bar, which is exactly what I’m doing (but mainly because I want a narrow 38cm bar).
Good evening, this bike Cervelo Soloist, which is it ?... Cervelo Soloist 105 ? Cervelo Soloist 105 di2 ?
price
Looks like an S3 how is it any different?
The seat tube's depth is shallower on the second-generation Soloist. It also doesn't hug the rear wheel as much.
Didn’t know Liam Hemsworth is into bikes
LOL, this guy is the same level of actor as him too.
Matte black is still in - particularly in a fully murdered look (all branding subdued). And very easy to clean with just a soapy rag wipe down.
Overpriced crap.
poor? cope harder
@@decoherence926 Stupid? try agian.
Do you realise that all these features existed at least since 2018 on disc road bikes. And maintenance wasn't such a hassle before hydraulic discs. Way less proprietary tools.
If the rider and the bike are both lighter the comfort is achievable on even 22mm tyres.
You haven't talked about it's performance at all because it's nothing to write home about. 100% no difference to the previous model in performance. Still to heavy and still huge gaps in the frame.
Every time I see a soloist 2023 on the road I know, he won't keep up with me. People choosing this frame are clueless to what a high performance frame needs to offer. This is just chunky still overcomplicated heavyweight SUV gravel garbage.
Cervelo has been creatively bankrupt in terms of paint choices since the release of the first Cervelo S5 and now they just put glitter flakes into the black coat.
I agree that this frameset has undergone no significant and meaningful improvements over the past near 5 years, and the price of the frameset is simply nuts given what a high end custom CF frameset can be had for versus this cheaply fabricated Chinese sweatshop based stock cookie cutter frameset.
However, believing you will easily drop someone because of what they ride is even more silly. I ride with guys out here in CO, many of whom are on cheap entry level CF framesets and wheels (because that is what their budget is) that make this bike look like a Ferrari (even though it clearly isn't). The majority of them can easily drop most posers I regularly see on a $10K dentist SWorks bike or BMC Teamachines, or Trek Madones all of course with their poser $3-4K Princeton and Zipp wheelsets, etc.... Any amateur rider, who thinks any bike will make them meaningfully faster or even as fast as someone with a better engine is living in a delusional and gullible fantasy land created by big bike manufacturer sponsorships and the outside paid marketing reps, who pose as "objective and independent" online reviewers when there is nothing at all independent or objective about their BS "fake" product reviews. One of the guys I ride with regularly is in his early 50's and was a former CAT I based out of NOrCal. The guy's favorite bike is an early 1990's steel De Rosa with downtube shifters and that guy will easily without even breaking a sweat drop well over 95+% of the dentist bike poser types in their 20's, 30's, and 40's I see all the time with their cute $10K "aero" frames and high end "super fast" wheels. And if he gets them on any climb around here on any grade at about 6% or more, he'll shake virtually all of them off his wheel in under 200 meters if it even takes that long.
The performance advantages pros are looking for in bikes and equipment are exceptionally marginal at best. And I mean exceptionally marginal. No amateur rider is dropping a guy with a better engine because they have a slight performance advantage in equipment on any bike. It's not happening! Clowns continue to think they can buy loads of performance with their credit card, and that's exactly what the manufacturers marketing teams want them to keep believing.🙂
Wow you are a supreme cyclist knowing no one will keep up with you based solely on riding a certain model of bike. 🤡
@@rcg9573 Came here to say this. Perfectly stated. The Soloist is more bike than anyone will ever need. Some of the Jumbo riders chose this frame for Paris last year. Nothing low end about it. Matter of fact, it’s prob the best bang for buck complete bike money can buy at the moment. Competes with the Tarmac any day of the week. And everyone talks about how heavy it is… it’s really not. 16.5 lbs for a size 51. Very respectable.
