Cervelo Aspero Rival XPLR AXS Gravel Bike Black/Charcoal, 61

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: “This build brings gravel aggression with a twist: A flip-chip fork for trail finesse, wireless Rival XPLR AXS shifting, and thoughtful clearance for big tires—pro-level versatility, no fussy setup needed.”We ride the Cervélo Áspero Rival XPLR AXS when the route demands both speed and adaptability. Its carbon frame and fork equipped with a Trail Mixer chip let us swap between 700c and 650b setups while keeping steering balanced. Internal cable routing, dual bottle mounts, and frame protection keep it sleek yet tough, and T47 bottom bracket paired with lowered seatstays adds ride comfort miles down the trail. Rolling on Reserve 40/44 wheels wrapped in WTB Vulpine 700×45 mm tires, it handles fast roads and choppy gravel with composure. The SRAM Rival AXS 1×13 wireless drivetrain with a 40T crank and a wide‑range 10–46T cassette gives us simplicity and confidence across varied grades, and Rival hydraulic disc brakes deliver familiar, durable stopping power. Versatility is baked in—whether for dusk‑lit gravel laps or multi‑surface epics, the Áspero Rival XPLR AXS is ready. Heads up ‑ We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning—and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive. If you want to double‑check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
