Cervélo Áspero: For transporting your buttocks, not all your gear!

February 06, 2023

The engineers at Cervélo designed the Áspero for pure, uncompromising speed . It's here to help you smash finish lines, KOMs, and personal bests. A bike built without limits, for cyclists looking to test them. We think that makes perfect sense!

Pure speed!

So if you are looking for a gravel bike and performance is your primary criterion, the Áspero might just be the bike that meets your needs.

After testing it out, we can confirm that this is possibly the ideal bike for your next gravel grind or for competing in the Gravel World Championships! It's an ultra-fast bike that delivers thrills to anyone with the skills to push it to its limits. From the very first pedal strokes, you can feel the stiffness of the frame and fork; it's clear that power is transferred to the ground efficiently and that the handling is incredibly precise. Despite all its speed and performance-oriented features, it remains comfortable on long rides and very stable on high-speed descents.

Every aspect of the bike is geared towards performance

To keep the frame weight as low as possible, accessory mounts have been minimized and the geometry revised for even sharper handling. As an added bonus, each Áspero comes with a top tube bag that you can choose to install or not.

Several possible variations - a wealth of choices

Cervélo offers the Aspero and Aspero 5 in several different colors and builds. Single and double chainring versions are also available to suit everyone's needs. The frame accepts most 700x42c and 650x49b wheel/tire combinations. Available in carbon only, starting at $4150. Frame-only options are also available, allowing for custom builds that will fulfill your wildest dreams.
