2008 Cervelo Soloist Team Road Bike

Product Overview
From the Cervelo website, "Often called the most underrated bike in the world, the Soloist Team is quite simply the best value in road bikes. Nowhere else can you find a frame that good, with such an incredible list of results, at such a price. Simply nothing comes close, it puts most carbon frames to shame." The Soloist team is for the athlete that enjoys the lively/responsive feel of an aluminum frame and is a savvy consumer looking for great value. Features include:
- Smartwall 2 Aluminum Butting: Extra aluminum is inserted in areas that require additional strength to maximize power transfer in the rear triangle (drivetrain) and across tubing susceptible to failure. Minimal material is used in areas designed to flex and absorb road vibrations and minimize weight.
- Aerodynamic Shaping: Like a time trial bike, the Soloist Team uses the best airfoil shapes designed for bicycle speeds. These shapes are especially aggressive at the headtube, downtube, toptube, seatstays, and seatpost. Each is designed to efficiently direct airflow at that respective area of the frame.
- Internal Cable Stops: The best internal cable stop system available to smooth airflow across the frame. Easy to install, easy to service, and easy to keep clean.
- Component Package: The Soloist Team wheels and components are durable and efficient. This is an excellent set-up for training miles and friendly competition. For a "pure racing" set-up, please call Nytro for upgrades.

Test Review

+ Great handling at high speeds (descends like a dream).
