Cervélo Áspero GRX RX820

The Cervélo Aspero made waves in 2019 as a game-changer for gravel racing, and the latest version continues that legacy with key updates that enhance speed, comfort, and versatility. Staying true to its mission of hauling ass, not cargo, the Aspero’s aerodynamic performance now focuses more on energy conservation than just drag reduction. A few watts saved over a long, headwind-riddled race can mean one less gel, a little less fatigue, and a lot more competitive edge. With features like a threaded bottom bracket for easy serviceability, SRAM’s Universal Derailleur Hanger for drivetrain compatibility, and smarter cable routing, the Aspero is all about making you faster with fewer compromises.

But speed is only part of the equation. The updated Aspero also brings a higher level of comfort, with dropped seat stays that add compliance for longer races and slightly reduced front-end stiffness to ease those final hours on rough terrain. More clearance for mud, thanks to lessons learned from the R5-CX, ensures you won’t be bogged down when conditions get messy. Whether you’re tackling a fast gravel race or just pushing your limits, the Aspero now offers more versatility and a smoother ride, while still packing that same thrilling speed. From internal cable routing to compatibility with SRAM’s latest drivetrains, the Aspero has been refined in every way to keep you at the front of the pack.
