Cervelo Aspero - gravel racing without compromise
The Cervelo Aspero is a gravel bike for riders who love speed - even off the tarmac. Developed for gravel races, fast adventures and sporty long-distance rides, it combines the efficiency of a road bike with the versatility of a gravel bike.
Whether as the high-end Cervelo Aspero 5, with Cervelo Aspero GRX equipment or as the Cervelo Aspero Apex 1 - every model gets you to your destination quickly and in control, regardless of the surface.
Frame & Geometry - Race DNA for Gravel
The Cervelo Gravel Aspero relies on a light, stiff carbon frame with a clear racing orientation. Unlike many comfort-orientated gravel bikes, the Cervelo Aspero 2025 is uncompromisingly designed for speed.
Geometry highlights:
- Sporty riding position with long reach and short head tube
- Tyre clearance of up to 45 mm (700c) or 49 mm (650b)
- TrailMixer thru-axle system for adapting the geometry to different wheel sizes
- Internal cable routing for a clean cockpit
- Lightweight, aerodynamically optimised tube shapes
Ride feel - fast, direct, precise
The Cervelo Aspero rides like a performance road bike - only on gravel. Every pedalling movement is converted directly into propulsion, while the precise handling keeps you safely on course even on fast descents.
Riding advantages:
- High stiffness for maximum power transfer
- Agile steering for technical passages
- Optimum balance of smoothness and manoeuvrability
Equipment & drives - from GRX to eTap AXS
Depending on the model, the Cervelo Aspero is available with a wide selection of drivetrains:
- Cervelo Aspero GRX 810 / Cervelo Aspero GRX 600 - Shimano technology specially optimised for gravel
- Cervelo Aspero Apex 1 / Cervelo Aspero Rival - SRAM 1x drivetrains for simplicity and robustness
- Cervelo Aspero 5 GRX Di2 - electronic precision and clean look, also known as Cervelo Aspero-5
