Description
These Cervelo Aspero-5 Rival AXS bikes have been developed by Excel Sports as frameset-up builds. This is a build combination not offered by Cervelo in 2022, so we wanted to offer the Rival AXS groupset with the top level Aspero-5 frameset and gravel-ready Reynolds carbon wheelset. The frameset, wheelset and components are fully covered by each manufacturers factory warranty.
The Cervelo Aspero set a new standard in handling, speed, and comfort for gravel-race oriented bikes, and it maintains a best-seller status, but the Aspero-5 frameset has been the top choice for pure gravel racers due to it's lighter weight, improved aerodynamics, and purer power transfer from the higher grade carbon fiber in an advanced lay-up process. Built here with a SRAM Rival XPLR eTap AXS HRD 1x12 build with wide range gearing, along with a carbon wheelset, and with Cervelo kit items, you have a more affordable, truly race-ready complete package capable of tackling a long gravel event, speedy weekday rides on country roads, and epic weekend days when the terrain opens up before you. The Aspero-5 frameset set the standard for gravel race and is always well represented in the group at the front of any major gravel event.
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 C-shaped fork steerer tube design seen on other 5-series bikes, which in combination with the included Carbon AB09 16° Flared Carbon Handlebar and Cervelo 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. Cervelo's internal testing measures aero improvement at 32G of reduced drag over the standard Aspero.... Read More
