Áspero

Dusty Unicorn Quarry Aurora

HAUL ASS, NOT CARGO

Áspero remains true to its original brief, but with some improvements: a threaded BB shell, neater cable routing, and a UDH-compatible derailleur hanger for those who want to use SRAM’s Transmission drivetrains. And it’s more aero, of course. In the case of Áspero, aerodynamic performance is less about pure speed as a result of drag reduction, and more about conservation of energy. After a big day in a headwind, the three watts saved over the previous Áspero might add up to one less energy gel your stomach has to digest—WORTH IT.

The Original Go-Fast Gravel Bike

Aspero is everything you need and nothing you don't. It's built for long days on varied surfaces, fits perfectly as that elusive "quiver of one," and can even take on a bit of bikepacking if you get the itch. At the heart of it all is the same philosphy that drives all Cervélo bikes—go faster. It's easy to live with, too. The round seatpost and standard bar/stem interface makes it easy to swap in your preferred cockpit components, or to experiment with a different handlebar shape. It's the perfect daily driver for days that start with a "pavement ends" sign.

The current Áspero uses SRAM’s Universal Derailleur Hanger, or UDH, standard, which supports SRAM full-mount drivetrains

The current Áspero frameset supports three bottle-cage positions and is compatible with a direct-mount top-tube bag. This gives riders additional capacity for long gravel events without relying entirely on traditional strapped-on bags.

Áspero adapts to the needs of the rider. For 1x drivetrains it can support up to a 52T chainring with a 47.5mm chainline and up to a 46T with a 45mm chainline. For 2x drivetrains, Áspero can support up to a 52T chainring with a 44.5mm chainline.

Compared with the previous generation, the current Áspero adds a threaded bottom bracket, cleaner cable routing, a UDH-compatible derailleur hanger, improved aerodynamics, dropped seat stays, additional mud clearance, and an overall 3 watt drag reduction over the previous generation.
