Cervélo is a brand with a proud racing background and the new Áspero draws inspiration from the Canadian company’s road race heritage, while offering the adaptability and tyre clearance that’s come to be expected from a gravel bike. The result? Straight off the mark, the Áspero is different from your average gravel machine.
To recap on the key details from the A Series launch, the Áspero’s carbon fibre frame has a claimed weight of 1,100g (56cm, painted) and is compatible with 700c and 650b wheels, in turn offering clearance for 42mm and 49mm tyres respectively.
The tube shapes are inspired by the R Series, while the fork has a ‘Trail-mixer’ dropout that alters the offset by 5mm fore and aft. That, according to Cervélo, allows you to keep the handling consistent whether running 700c wheels with relatively slim tyres, or 650b hoops with chunky tyres.
