Aspero 5 Force AXS 1x Gravel Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"You get a true racer’s setup here—Force AXS is fast and quiet, and the XX-style gearing gives it that big-range feel without jumping into MTB territory. It’s light, aerodynamic, and ready to go long and fast, even with gear onboard."

The Cervélo Áspero-5 Force combines next-gen drivetrain tech with a pro-caliber carbon platform, purpose-built for modern gravel racing. SRAM Force AXS E1 wireless shifting meets the rugged, trail-tested range of X0 Eagle T-Type, giving this bike unmatched versatility on the climbs without compromising top-end speed. With no front derailleur, the 1x setup simplifies everything while keeping shifting precise and quick, even under load.

The Reserve 40/44 wheel pairing offers aero gains and a tuned ride feel, while Vittoria’s Corsa Control tires push grip and rolling speed on all surfaces. Cervélo’s proprietary components—from cockpit to thru-axles—are optimized for both performance and integration, and the in-frame storage and accessory mounts make long race prep seamless. It’s built for performance, made for gravel, and ready to roll anywhere the route leads.
