SRAM bringing a more gravel-ready rear derailleur and a single ring equipped Red crankset in their XPLR series of components allowed Cervelo to offer their premium Aspero-5 frameset into a top-end wireless shifting complete bike. XPLR's component range options carry across Rival, Force, and Red eTap AXS, setting a new standard for a wholly capable 1x12 drivetrain with the simplicity and responsive shifting of eTap AXS components. For many gravel racers, this Aspero-5 Red XPLR AXS 1 becomes the new bike obsession that needs to be purchased and ridden to it's maximum potential, and for good reason. The combination of superb power transfer, stable control, and impressive ride quality provided by the Aspero-5 frameset matches the excellence of the Red eTap AXS HRD groupset, and you are the beneficiary.
The Aspero-5 Frameset retains the popular, proven Aspero geometry and Trail Mixer fork chip system, as well as an appearance with tube shapes that are largely the same. A closer inspection indicates a fully internal wiring and housing system, and a refined headtube. The Aspero-5 has the D-shaped fork steerer tube design seen on other 5-series bikes, which in combination with the included Carbon AB09 16° Flared Carbon Handlebar and Cervélo ST32 Alloy Stem, work with the steerer and the frame to bring the routing internal from the levers on back. An All-Carbon Tapered Áspero Fork with Adjustable Trail and headtube shape offer refined aerodynamics, enhanced by the internal routing. Not only is a completed bike visually clean- but faster. Cervelo's internal testing measures aero improvement at 32G of reduced drag over the standard Aspero.... Read More
