Cervelo Aspero 700c Frameset - Peaches and Cream - GM110424-27
The Cervelo Áspero may not have been the first gravel bike on the market, but it certainly redefined what a gravel bike could be. Since its debut in 2019, the Áspero has brought Cervelo’s race-oriented design philosophy to gravel, setting a new standard for speed on rough terrain. The latest iteration of the Áspero builds upon that legacy with thoughtful refinements that enhance comfort, efficiency, and versatility while retaining the speed and agility that made the original so groundbreaking.
In a world of ever-evolving gravel bikes, the new Áspero remains true to the simplicity of early gravel design but introduces upgrades that ensure you’re ready for the demands of modern gravel riding. It now features a T47 threaded bottom bracket shell for easier maintenance, an elegantly redesigned internal cable routing system, and a UDH-compatible derailleur hanger that opens up options for SRAM’s latest Transmission drivetrains. Not to mention, the redesigned frame is more aero, shaving off 3 watts of drag to keep you faster on every ride.
With dropped seat stays for added compliance, increased mud clearance for all conditions, and a frame designed around 42mm tires (with additional ISO clearance for up to 45mm in dry conditions), the Áspero is built to tackle everything from dirt trails to epic gravel races.
