Fast, Efficient Gravel Performance
The Aspero Apex XPLR 1 is built around Cervelo’s lightweight carbon gravel frame, shaped with aerodynamic influences from their road bikes to help maintain speed on open gravel roads and hardpack. The frame balances stiffness for strong power transfer with enough compliance to smooth out trail chatter, giving the bike a lively, responsive feel without sacrificing comfort.
Confident Handling on Mixed Terrain
Cervelo’s gravel geometry keeps the bike stable at speed while remaining agile through loose corners and technical sections. The full-carbon Aspero fork adds precision steering and vibration damping, helping maintain control on rougher surfaces.
Simple, Reliable 1x Drivetrain
SRAM’s Apex XPLR 1×12-speed drivetrain offers dependable shifting with minimal maintenance. The single chainring setup reduces complexity and noise, while the wide-range 11-44T cassette provides gearing for steep climbs, fast gravel sections and long days on rolling terrain.
Durable, Tubeless-Ready Wheels
Alexrims GX7 wheels feature wide internal rims suited to modern gravel tyres, improving stability and grip. Paired with WTB Vulpine 700x45c tyres, the bike rolls quickly on smooth gravel while offering enough tread and volume for loose, rough or unpredictable surfaces.
Confident Braking
SRAM Apex hydraulic disc brakes deliver consistent stopping power and modulation in all conditions, giving riders confidence on loose descents, wet weather rides and technical terrain.
Practical and Adventure-Ready
Internal cable routing keeps the cockpit clean and protects cables from dirt and weather. Multiple mounting points allow riders to carry extra bottles or lightweight luggage, making the Aspero suitable for endurance rides, gravel racing or bikepacking.
