Cervélo Áspero Apex 1 en remise

Cervélo offers the gravel bike for the adventurous cyclist with the Áspero Series. The high quality carbon frame paired with durable components offers enough potential on and off paved roads to really let off steam.

The Gravel bike for maximum speed on any terrain – Cervélo Áspero

A new breed of rider is emerging—one who loves the freedom and exploration that gravel culture was founded upon but who has a hunger to ride wild, to go full bore, and to explore not just geography but personal limits. This frontier requires a new kind of gravel machine, one engineered not to roam the trails, but to slay them.

For these athletes, Cervélo created a machine engineered for pure, unapologetic speed, ready to take down finish lines, KOM leaderboards, PR’s, and FKT’s. A single bike that first generates maximum speed and then second, controls that speed across the variable conditions gravel athletes must conquer. A machine built without limits, for the riders willing to test them.

It’s time to change the paradigm of gravel bike design from hauling gear slowly to empowering athletes quickly. Leveraging vast knowledge from road racing, the Áspero frame is designed with world tour stiffness for greater pedal power transfer, using less and lighter material to aid climbing and accelerating, while maximizing speeds with aerodynamic shapes critical to efficiency at speed.

Features – Cervélo Áspero Apex 1

The Áspero frame
Leveraging vast knowledge from road racing, the Áspero frame is designed with world tour stiffness for greater pedal power transfer, using less and lighter material to aid climbing and accelerating, while maximizing speeds with aerodynamic shapes critical to efficiency at speed.

650b or 28″
Cervélo engineered the bike to fit most 700×42 or 650×49 tire/wheel combos, comfortably. Of course, there are variables – rim width, tire casing / tread depth – which will affect final clearance. IMPORTANT NOTE – We always recommend there to be 4mm of clearance around whichever tire/wheel combo is installed on the bike.

Two-position adjustment
“Trail” – Front wheel response to rider input – is the most critical factor in high-velocity handling. The ability to adjust trail with the two-position “Trail Mixer” to compensate for the extreme range of tire sizes ensures a uniform ride experience.

Balanced Handling
Stiffness and handling work together to ensure the bike tracks predictably and responds immediately to critical pedal and bracing inputs. The fork’s Trail Mixer adjusts trail to lessen the shock to handling when swapping between most common tire sizes.

Please note that pedals are not included!
