Fast, Light, Aero—It’s All A Win

At first glance, the striking features on the new Cervélo Áspero-5 are its fully internal cable routing and show stopping paint finish. And while this off-road, drop-bar racer can no doubt strike an impressively silhouette and sparkle at golden hour, as Cervélo’s premium gravel-race bike, it’s designed to do more than tuck in the cables. It’s also lighter and cheats the wind even more than before. We’re diving into some highlights below.

Even Faster Gravel Jammer

Cervélo’s “5” designation is reserved for their top-tier bike lines, and the new model lightens the Áspero-line’s race-weight by 10%—so if you thought you were maxed out on segment PRs, get ready to fly.

Shaped For The Wind

Headwinds on gravel routes happen, but the Áspero-5 helps. Taking cues from the aero tube shapes of their successful road models, Cervélo boosted the aerodynamics and can claim a savings of 32grams in wind drag.

TrailMixer Fork Design

The Áspero-5 is a race bike, but you might need cushier tires to keep race speeds on chunky gravel lanes. Handily, Cervélo’s adjustable fork accommodates 700c and 650b rims and clears tires of 42 and 49mm, respectively.
