Overview
The Aspero is Cervélo's speed-focused gravel bike, built for riders who want to go fast without sacrificing comfort over long days in the saddle. This latest generation brings a threaded T47 bottom bracket, cleaner internal cable routing, and a SRAM UDH-compatible derailleur hanger for future drivetrain flexibility. Dropped seat stays add extra compliance out back, along with more mud clearance, while a slightly softer front end keeps things comfortable deep into a long race or ride. The Apex build brings SRAM's dependable 1x gravel groupset at a genuinely accessible price point.
