New Cervelo Soloist Spotted...

[dudemanppl]

Just read the build manual and found this interesting note...



Seems quite unreasonable to me.

The weight limit seems to be lower than for some other brands, but there are not that many bike racers that weigh 90 kgs.

The frame should be compatible with the FSA ACR System, right??

Any Info on availability ?

FSA ACR requires a larger diameter upper bearing than what's used on the Soloist.

but jumbo visma is using the soloist with the fsa ACR system

many people in middle and north europe are 1,90 and taller. 90kg is quite common

Can this bike take campy mechanical?

Build manual says full length housing is needed for mechanical front and rear shifting, so that would seem like a no.

The soloist routing is in front of headtube similar to cannondale supersix evo and aurum magma, doesn't pass through the headset bearings

[dudemanppl]

Incorrect, it does pass through the headset bearings and uses a D shaped steertube. Top bearing is 47mm OD, a regular size for a 1 1/4 lower headset.

False. It definitely goes through the upper bearing.

So at least you can swap that lazy cockpit with something integrated? Should come with one TBH

lmao, BikeRadar is clearly wrong about the cable routing.

[KalleWirsch]

To be honest the stock cockpit with these slim spacers below the stem looks ugly. Doesn´t fit to the proportions of the bike frame.

May be the missing 7kg are the bike itself.

They're only using the bar/stem, which is compatible with any 1.125" steerer provided the right shaped spacers.

ACR utilizes a 1.5" upper so cables can squeeze around a 1.125" round steerer. The Cervelo steerer is a 1.125" D-shape and the upper bearing is 1.25"

The nice thing about this is it opens up a lot of options. You could fully integrate the cables with an UNO stem and a bar that has exit holes at the clamp (Vision Carbon Aero, 3T Aeroflux, etc.)
