Cervélo Áspero APEX XPLR AXS 1 2026 Gravel Bike
Faster. Fitter. Unstoppably fun.
The Cervélo Áspero APEX XPLR AXS 1 2026 redefines speed on gravel. Originally launched to shake up the gravel scene with race-ready geometry and no-compromise performance, this latest iteration stays true to its flat-out fast roots—with updates that make it smoother, smarter, and more efficient for real-world riders. Think improved comfort, enhanced aerodynamics, and greater drivetrain compatibility—this is gravel performance taken to the next level.
Built around Cervélo’s ultra-capable carbon frame and fitted with SRAM’s 12-speed Apex XPLR AXS groupset, the 2026 Áspero now features a threaded T47 bottom bracket for easy maintenance, an updated cable routing system for a cleaner look, and the Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) for SRAM Transmission compatibility. It’s also more aero-efficient than ever—saving you watts into the wind and reducing fatigue on big days out.
Dropped seat stays and reduced front-end stiffness boost ride compliance for long-distance comfort, while generous mud clearance (inspired by lessons from the Unbound gravel race) means you can keep going when conditions get wild.
