Cervelo Aspero Rival XPLR AXS 1

In the realm of gravel biking, the Áspero made an indelible mark in 2019, revolutionizing the landscape with its promise of heightened speed and exhilarating performance. True to its innovative spirit, the latest iteration of Áspero remains steadfast in its commitment to excellence while introducing key enhancements. These include a threaded BB shell, refined cable routing, and a UDH-compatible derailleur hanger, catering to riders who opt for SRAM's Transmission drivetrains. Its enhanced aerodynamics prioritize energy conservation, delivering a ride that not only excels in speed but also optimizes energy efficiency, potentially saving precious watts during demanding rides.

Beyond the realm of aerodynamic improvements, the Áspero has undergone nuanced enhancements to elevate its overall performance. The rear seat stays have been subtly lowered to enhance compliance, while a slight reduction in front-end stiffness ensures a more comfortable ride during prolonged races. Furthermore, Áspero now offers increased mud clearance, drawing insights from the R5-CX and the Unbound mudfest of 2023. These seemingly minor tweaks collectively contribute to a significant advancement, resulting in a bike that embodies the spirit of the original Áspero while delivering superior speed, comfort, and versatility.
