Cervelo Soloist
Racers who want Cervelo geometry without halo pricing. Compare stack/reach to R5.
The mid-tier Cervelo race bike: less exotic than R5/S5, still a race position. A lot of riders' first Cervelo that actually fits like a race bike.

Aero racers. If you want light and conventional, R5; if you want endurance, Caledonia.
The aero Cervelo: V-stem, deep tubes, and a bike that wants to be ridden fast in a straight line and still corners better than its looks suggest.
Racers who like Cannondale's handling and want the serviceable frame. Synapse is the taller sibling; SuperX is the CX/gravel race cousin.
The fourth-generation EVO keeps the third generation's geometry but goes lighter, slipperier, and back to a threaded BSA bottom bracket. Same fit as the 2020–2022 bike, easier to live with.
Fast road riders who want Orbea aero. Orca if you care more about weight.
Aero Orbea race bike. Deeper tubes than Orca, same size run so many riders can twin the two on stack/reach.
