I have this bike and custom built it as well. I try my hardest on the faster group rides and the bike is 100% not holding me back. This bike is great for all types of riding.

Thank you for finally stating what I’ve also thought: 11-speed Di2 > 12-speed Di2

I just bought this bike around 3 weeks ago. It’s a beast! The bike flies, looks great in person (mine is also gold), and is very comfortable. However, I had the dealer change the stem 3 times until it fit perfectly. I also swapped the seat for a Caledonia seat, which was much more comfortable in long rides.

Great review, Steve! Funny - I just met Miles and his soloist after the Bullet Train last week. Had been thinking about upgrading recently, and this is the first video that came up!

That is funny. Now you know all of what he thinks about the bike.

I'm doing some research to get a new bike after 1 year without a bike. My last 2 bikes were supersixes, a 2021 regular and a 2021 hi-mod. I had the frame crack issue wth both, and both were replaced by warranty but I gave up on the model and sold. Now that cannondale solved it for good with the 2024 model, my choice is between the soloist and the supersix. If I get the soloist it will be my first non cannondale bike in a long tiime.

I’ve been on gold soloist frame now for around 6500 miles; mine is a custom build; just bought the frame set. Love this bike. I also have a Caledonia which is also fantastic.

Great Value bike , Im on the fence between the Soloist vs the R5 I know the R5 is lighter and the price for the R5 is not that much more but I do like the look of the Soloist better, the problem with Cervelo is that they come only in 2 colors, They should give more choices.

This is the bike that I recommend to any remotely serious recreational rider, probably best bang for the buck without going to Chinese brands. That said, I also recommend asking the bike shop to swap out chainrings/casettes for riders doing more hills and/or pushing fewer watts to something like 52/36 and 11-34, but that's not really a huge deal. I would go for the dual-side Favero Assioma Duo, though, for most people. I think for great rider/racer you probably don't have to work much on pedaling motion/balance, but for lesser riders, the dual-side data can be extremely valuable.

Ultegra 12 speed shifts great. Better than ever! The reason yours is slow is that poorly designed direct mount hanger you have. Get the standard hanger and the original B link for the derailleur and it’ll be great.
