Cervelo Aspero 700c - GRX RX820 - Black-Charcoal - GM072125-21
In 2019, Áspero took the world by storm, heralding a “new era of speed in gravel.” It was gravel, Cervelo-style. Since then, gravel bikes have grown, fragmented, and started to look a lot like the road and mountain bikes that spawned them, with suspension forks, bolt-ons for…everything, and ever-increasing tire widths.
Features
-
THREADED BOTTOM BRACKET - Aspero uses the asymmetrical T47a threaded bottom bracket we pioneered on R5-CX. It’s a simple, rider-serviceable interface that allows us to deliver the benefits of BBRight in a more user-friendly form.
-
UNIVERSAL DERAILLEUR HANGAR - We used SRAM’s Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) standard on the new Aspero. It’s ideal if you want to live your best ‘business in the front, party in the back’ life with one of SRAM’s Transmission drivetrains today, and ensures compatibility for future drivetrain developments.
-
INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING - Aspero shares the same bearing dimensions as R5, Soloist, R5-CX, and Caledonia, which means you can use any combination of bearing caps and stems. Want a super-racy, fully-internal look? Grab the ST31 and HB13 from R5.
- Aerodynamic carbon Áspero frame with cleaner route, dropped seat stays, and T47 BBright with better compliance
- Trail Mixer fork lets you swap between 700c and 650b wheels for consistent handling across terrain
- Shimano GRX RX820 12‑speed drivetrain, 48/31T crank, 11‑36T cassette—gravel-ready gearing and durability
- Hydraulic Shimano GRX brakes with CL800 center‑lock rotors for confident stopping power
- Reserve 30 GR AL tubeless-ready wheels equipped with WTB Vulpine TCS Light tires for speed and grip
