Cervelo Aspero 700c - GRX RX820 - Sea Ice

HAUL ASS, NOT CARGO

Back in 2019, the Áspero redefined the concept of gravel racing by prioritizing speed and sheer performance over conventional all-around capabilities. The 2024 Áspero builds on that legacy, incorporating significant improvements while staying true to its roots. With refinements such as a threaded bottom bracket, streamlined cable routing, and compatibility with SRAM’s Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) for versatile drivetrain options, this iteration promises an even faster and more efficient ride. The aerodynamic tweaks may not only save watts but also reduce fatigue on long rides, making energy conservation a standout feature for endurance racers.

Enhanced Comfort and Performance

The new design includes lowered seat stays, borrowed from the R5-CX’s race-proven design, for added rear compliance and better mud clearance. Additionally, the front-end stiffness has been reduced slightly, optimizing comfort during those final grueling miles of a race. These incremental changes combine to provide a smoother, more versatile riding experience, ensuring the Áspero remains at the forefront of gravel racing technology.

Key Features:

• Threaded Bottom Bracket: The asymmetrical T47a BBRight threaded system for a user-friendly, serviceable design.
• Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH): Compatible with SRAM’s Transmission drivetrains and adaptable for future tech developments.
• Integrated Cable Routing: Shares bearing dimensions with Cervélo's other high-performance models for a seamless, fully-internal cable look.
