Cervélo Áspero-5 Force
Product Details
The Cervélo Áspero-5 Force is a high-performance gravel race bike designed for riders seeking aerodynamic efficiency, low weight, and race-focused capability across a wide range of terrain. Built around Cervélo’s premium carbon frame platform, the Áspero-5 incorporates aerodynamic tube shaping, fully integrated cable routing, and an aero-focused cockpit designed to reduce drag while maintaining the handling characteristics required for modern gravel racing.
According to Cervélo, the latest Áspero-5 delivers substantial aerodynamic gains over the previous generation while also reducing frame weight. The platform combines race-oriented efficiency with practical features including integrated downtube storage and a threaded T47 bottom bracket for simplified serviceability and long-term reliability.
The bike's Mixed & Matched Tire Geometry allows riders to tailor handling characteristics through tire selection. It can be configured with equal tire sizes up to 45mm for balanced stability and control, or with a slight front-to-rear tire size differential to optimize responsiveness for smoother and less technical race courses.
Equipped with the SRAM Force 1 AXS E1 wireless drivetrain, integrated power meter, and Reserve 44|40 TA GR carbon wheels with DT Swiss 350 hubs, the Áspero-5 Force is built to deliver efficient power transfer, precise shifting, and confident performance on everything from fast gravel roads to demanding race terrain.
