SUMMER SALE

Team Jumbo-Visma's switch to SRAM meant a lot of work for the Service Course. It's dead simple to pair your AXS derailleurs and shifters, but try doing it 300 times! Luckily for us, they let cameras in for one special build—Wout's Soloist, built for Roubaix. Settle in with a cup of coffee and let the vibes take over.

For this Probike Build we visited the Pro Team Jumbo Visma. We had the honor to be there when the team mechanic assembled the brand new Cervelo Soloist for superstar Wout van Aert. The Soloist name is deeply rooted in the history of Cervélo, the Soloist was the weapon of choice of the top riders of Team CSC and the Cervelo Test Team in the past. The new 2023 Soloist strikes the balance between lightweight, comfort and aerodynamic advantages. So the new Soloist is slightly lighter than an S5 but significantly more aerodynamic than the R5. Like the R5 CX, the Soloist gets the threaded BBRIGHT-47 bottom bracket standard.

Wout van Aert is a Belgian professional cyclist who specializes in road racing and cyclo-cross. He was born on September 15, 1994, and began his career as a professional cyclist in 2015. He quickly made a name for himself in the cyclo-cross world, winning the UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships three times in a row in 2015, 2016 and 2017.

He also had a lot of success on the road, in 2020 he won his first classic Monument, Strade Bianche, and was 3rd on the Tour of Flanders and Paris Roubaix. He also won the 2020 ITT World Championship. At the 2022 Tour de France he won 3 stages, wore the yellow jersey for 4 days and took the green jersey to Paris.

Van Aert is considered one of the most talented riders of his generation and is considered one of the best classics riders in the world.
