FLAT OUT

Designed for long, fast gravel races, Aspero-5 is for those who toe the start line with purpose, and aim to be in the group straightaway. Our engineers like to say, “if it looks fast, it probably is.” It’s a bit tongue-in-cheek, but there’s some truth to it, and Aspero-5 looks fast standing still. The cables are tucked neatly inside the stem and headtube, there’s a hint of a wheel cutout, and all of the tube shapes come from our race-proven library of shapes.

Cervelo Aspero 5 LIGHTWEIGHT SPEED

LIGHTWEIGHT SPEED

Some might say aero doesn’t matter on a gravel bike, but if you’ve battled a headwind across an open prairie, the thirty-two grams of drag you’ll save with the Áspero-5 come as a welcome respite. Most gravel racing is done without the benefit of a World Tour peloton—or World Tour tactics—and when it’s your nose in the wind all day, it’s nice to know your bike’s shouldering a bit of the load.

Cervelo Aspero 5 TWO-POSITION ADJUSTMENT

TWO-POSITION ADJUSTMENT

Trail—front-wheel response to rider input—is the most critical factor in high-velocity handling. Flipping the two-position "Trail Mixer" to compensate for the difference in circumference between a 650b and 700c tire maintains consistent handling by maintaining consistent trail figures.

Cervelo Aspero 5 MULTIPLE CONFIGURATIONS

MULTIPLE CONFIGURATIONS

We designed Aspero to fit most 700c x 42mm or 650b x 49mm wheel/tire combinations. Of course, there are variables—rim width, tire casing, and tread depth—which will affect final clearance. We (and the International Organization for Standardization, or ISO), always recommend 4mm of clearance between the tire and frame.

**New Shimano road (not gravel) 12 speed front derailleurs reduce tire clearance in the rear of the frame to 700x38c or 650x45b.
