The Cervlo Aspero has made its mark as one of the fastest and most capable gravel bikes on the market. Now, with a touch of extra aerodynamics and integration, the Aspero-5 pushes the limit of all-terrain speed even further. The Cervlo Aspero-5 is your key to hitting massive speeds with unmatched handling on any riding surface. Like most gravel bikes, the Aspero is built for freedom and exploration. Unlike its counterparts, this bike is made for race-like speed rather than cargo carrying. Cervlo is known for its blazing speed on the road, and they put a bit of that flavor into this gravel bike. It is lighter than ever and features World Tour stiffness in a carbon fiber gravel bike, so fast riders are encouraged to let it rip. The Cervlo Aspero-5 looks fast because it is.
One of the most highlighted features on the Cervlo Aspero-5 is the Trail Mixer fork insert. This piece lets you alter the wheels position horizontally by 5mm depending on your choice in tire size. Whether you go with a 700cx42 or 650bx49 tire/wheel combination, or any other, you will feel attached to the trail with maximum control. Regardless of what wheel and tire size you choose, Cervlo suggests that you leave at least 4mm of clearance for the best results. Some of this clearance comes from the seatstay/seat tube junction was specially designed to stay as fast and aero as possible with extra tire clearance. The Trail Mixer adjusts the trail to manage shock, leaving you with the fastest and most comfortable ride possible.
The Cervlo Aspero-5 is made for lightweight speed. Aerodynamics is not typically a priority with gravel bikes, but a headwind across an open field can have a devastating impact on speed. Gravel riders typically do not have a peloton to protect them from the wind, so being efficient in all conditions is essential. It also has an integrated handlebar and stem combo and a vibration dampening seatpost to keep you comfortable moving fast. The bar is also flared for extra control on the toughest terrain. This version of the Aspero-5 comes equipped with a high performing 1x 12-speed electronic SRAM Force XPLR eTap AXS groupset. The Cervlo Aspero-5 is world class when it comes to going fast on tough terrain.
