Description
The new Áspero-5 represents the next evolution in Cervélo’s dedicated off-road race platform—an uncompromising machine refined for even more speed, efficiency, and versatility. Staying true to the original Áspero’s aggressive geometry and race-ready attitude, this latest version pushes the boundaries of what a gravel bike can be with enhanced aerodynamics, improved integration, and unmatched adaptability. Every detail in the Áspero-5’s design has been reevaluated with a clear goal: to create a gravel race bike that’s lighter, faster, more customizable, and more capable than ever before.
Aerodynamically, the Áspero-5 is significantly faster than its predecessor—37 watts faster, to be precise—thanks to revised tube shapes, increased surface area, and a fully integrated cockpit. The addition of an in-frame storage compartment inside the downtube (SB005) adds utility without compromising airflow or aesthetics. This evolution in frame design draws visual and functional inspiration from Cervélo’s aerodynamic flagship, the S5, resulting in a silhouette that clearly connects the two platforms. With a newly designed handlebar system, riders can choose between fully internal cable routing (using the ST31) or a semi-internal configuration (via ST36), all while keeping serviceability in mind.
True to its racing roots, the Áspero-5 has also undergone serious weight reduction. The frame now weighs under 1000 grams, and the newly redesigned fork comes in at just 400 grams. Importantly, the fork sheds weight without any aero compromise. It features 160mm native flat mount brake compatibility, uses a co-molded threaded insert instead of a traditional external axle insert, and is built for seamless installation and adjustment, identical to the rear flat mount setup....
