Cervélo Áspero-5

This bike is purpose-built for elite gravel racing. While it is agile and capable on technical terrain, it lacks rack mounts and is optimized for speed and aerodynamics rather than carrying heavy bikepacking loads.

The Áspero-5 accommodates tires up to 45mm wide. This provides a good balance between the aerodynamic efficiency of the frame and the traction needed for varied gravel surfaces.

No, the Áspero-5 does not ship with pedals. You will need to select and install your own preferred gravel or mountain bike pedals to complete the build.

The fully integrated routing creates a cleaner aesthetic and reduces aerodynamic drag, but it does make routine maintenance slightly more involved. You may need to account for extra time or professional assistance when performing service on the headset or drivetrain cables.

It features a 1x12 SRAM Force AXS electronic drivetrain. This single-chainring configuration simplifies shifting and reduces the risk of chain drops, while the 10-52T cassette offers a wide gear range for steep climbs.

Yes, the bike features a 'trail mixer' geometry adjustment. This allows you to maintain consistent handling characteristics even when switching between different wheel sizes or tire widths.
