Cervelo Aspero 700c - Apex XPLR 1 - Woodsmoke - GM032525-39

The Cervélo Áspero Apex XPLR 1 continues its legacy as a gravel race weapon with zero compromises. Born to shake up the gravel scene and now refined with real-world rider needs, the latest Áspero dials in more comfort, control, and future-ready compatibility—without sacrificing its aggressive, speed-driven DNA.

For 2025, the Áspero gets more mud clearance, dropped seatstays for compliance, a threaded T47a bottom bracket, and SRAM UDH compatibility—making it easier to maintain and ready for SRAM Transmission. With internal cable routing, an Apex XPLR 12-speed drivetrain, and wide, tubeless-ready wheels, it’s built for long races, all-day breakaways, and post-ride podium beers.
