Description
🌪️ Race-Tuned for Gravel. Engineered to Haul Ass.
The 2025 Cervélo Áspero Rival XPLR AXS 1 in Sea Ice is a modern gravel racing machine, engineered for speed, built for versatility, and tuned for endurance. It stays true to the original Áspero’s “go-fast anywhere” ethos, now with subtle but significant refinements—more compliance, better cable integration, UDH compatibility, and a threaded T47a bottom bracket for easier maintenance.
Outfitted with SRAM Rival XPLR AXS 12-speed wireless electronic shifting, carbon Reserve wheels, and Cervélo’s aero-optimized carbon cockpit, this Áspero delivers a race-level gravel build without the race-only limitations. From rowdy race days to self-supported epics, it’s built to go flat-out—and look good doing it.
FEATURES:
✔ Carbon Frame & Aero Fork – Optimized for speed, with mud clearance and comfort dialed in.
✔ SRAM Rival XPLR AXS 1×12 – Wireless precision with gravel-specific gearing (10–44T).
✔ Reserve Carbon Wheels – Wide internal width (25–25.5mm) for modern tire profiles and fast rolling.
✔ Cervélo Carbon Cockpit – Aero bars, clean cable routing, and internal-ready if you want full integration.
✔ T47a Threaded BB & UDH Compatibility – Easy servicing and future drivetrain flexibility.
✔ WTB 700x40c Tires – Fast-rolling with just enough bite for race-day grip and all-surface confidence.
