Áspero-5

Five Black Digital Moss Orchid

Faster Than the Rest

The all-new Áspero-5 was built for the front end of the race, and is the most aerodynamic gravel bike ever created. Cervélo has long been synonymous with aerodynamic performance, and we’ve brought that 30 years of expertise to gravel racing. With clearance for 45mm tires, downtube storage, and a threaded bottom bracket, Áspero-5 is ready to race the second it rolls off the shop floor. It made its rainbow-jersey debut (and won!) under UCI Gravel World Champion Marianne Vos, and is campaigned by some of the most elite bike racers in the world.

SHAPE OF SPEED

Áspero-5 is 37 Watts faster than its predecessor, and 34 Watts faster than the nearest competitor. Cervélo has long led the industry in aerodynamics, and we’ve delivered a gravel race bike worthy of that reputation. The aero handlebar and stem are responsible for nearly 6 Watts of that savings on their own.

The downtube storage is designed to carry a spare tube, tools, and a flat kit inside the frame. The frameset is also compatible with a direct-mount top-tube bag.

The current Áspero-5 is 37 watts faster than the outgoing model, with the aero-optimized HB16 handlebar contributing nearly 6 watts of that improvement.

There are two intended setups: Equal-width tires, such as 40 mm front and rear, for stable handling on rougher courses
A 4 mm differential, such as 40 mm front and 44 mm rear, for improved aerodynamics and sharper handling on less-technical courses

The Áspero-5 is a high-performance gravel race bike designed for riders who prioritize speed, aerodynamic efficiency, and competitive performance on mixed surfaces.

The current Áspero-5 is 66 grams lighter than its predecessor, despite gaining additional surface area for aerodynamic improvements.
