Designed for long, fast gravel races, Aspero-5 is for those who toe the start line with purpose, and aim to be in the group straightaway. Cervelo engineers like to say, “if it looks fast, it probably is”. The cables are tucked neatly inside the stem and headtube, there’s a hint of a wheel cutout, and all of the tube shapes come from Cervelo’s race-proven library of shapes. Lightweight Speed Some might say aero doesn’t matter on a gravel bike, but if you’ve battled a headwind across an open meadow, the thirty-two grams of drag you’ll save with the Áspero-5 come as a welcome respite. Most gravel racing is done without the benefit of a World Tour peloton—or World Tour tactics—and when it’s your nose in the wind all day, it’s nice to know your bike’s shouldering a bit of the load. Two-Position Adjustment Trail front-wheel response to rider input is the most critical factor in high-velocity handling. Flipping the two-position “Trail Mixer” to compensate for the difference in circumference between a 650b and 700c tyre maintains consistent handling by maintaining consistent trail figures.
