Cervelo Aspero 700c - Apex XPLR AXS 1 

HAUL ASS, NOT CARGO

Since its 2019 debut, the Cervelo Áspero has been the benchmark for speed-driven gravel bikes, designed to push boundaries and take riders beyond typical gravel limits. The latest Áspero stays true to its roots while incorporating a few updates: a threaded T47 bottom bracket for simplified maintenance, cleaner cable routing, and compatibility with SRAM's Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) for future drivetrain flexibility. These improvements, along with enhanced aerodynamics, create a bike that not only performs faster but helps conserve energy for those longer, grueling rides.

The new Áspero provides a smoother, more compliant ride without sacrificing speed, with dropped seat stays to improve comfort and mud clearance, and a slightly more forgiving front-end stiffness to reduce fatigue on extended rides. These adjustments make the Áspero ready for everything from intense gravel racing to epic off-road adventures, ensuring a balanced ride that excels in comfort, speed, and versatility.

The Cervelo Áspero 700c - Apex XPLR AXS 1 combines high-performance gravel capabilities with unmatched efficiency and comfort. With precision engineering and optimized features, it’s ready to take on any adventure with speed and stability, making it the ultimate choice for gravel enthusiasts who demand the best.
