"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""The Áspero-5 Red is absurdly fast and incredibly refined. SRAM’s new Red AXS shifting feels instant and seamless, and the XX SL Eagle rear end gives you that huge gear range without compromise. Toss in Reserve wheels and in-frame storage—this bike’s ready for anything from gravel racing to remote overnights.""For riders who expect their gravel bike to be as dialed as their road setup—but with more capability—the Cervélo Áspero-5 Red is as advanced as it gets. Designed around Cervélo’s aggressive gravel race geometry, this top-tier build is built to charge across any surface, from hardpack to chunk. Its full carbon frame and Áspero-5 tapered fork prioritize stiffness and weight savings while allowing up to 45mm tires for grip and compliance. The SRAM Red AXS E1 drivetrain brings precision wireless shifting to every ride, and the pairing of a Red 1 AXS 48T aero crank with XX SL Eagle T-Type 10-52T cassette delivers massive gear range with tight-road-bike feel—optimized for gravel speed. A power meter is built into the crank for those who live by the numbers. DT Swiss 240 hubs laced to Reserve 40/44 carbon rims keep the ride responsive and fast over all terrain, while Vittoria’s 42c Corsa Control tires offer traction and speed. Fully integrated storage—including tool rolls, mounts, and a Smartpak top tube bag—make this build ready for racing or self-supported adventure. The included Hammerhead Karoo 3 GPS computer and carbon cockpit round out a bike built for those who chase podiums—or just perfection."
