Gravel riding isn't always all about slow bikepacking trips, so Cervelo designed the Aspero Rival/GX AXS Exclusive Gravel Bike for high-speed gravel riding and racing. A steep seat tube angle and moderate head tube angle keep us moving fast with no sacrifice in comfort, while the frame's carbon layup dampens vibrations to keep us riding fatigue-free over rough terrain. While seated on the padded Selle Italia Model X Superflow saddle, riding limitations are diminished with the use of Superflow technology as it reduces pain in the perineal area. Spec'd with the 1 x 12-speed SRAM Rival AXS groupset, this model of the Aspero brings a gravel-specific performance to our ride. With this gruppo, we are provided with optimal gearing ratios between the 40T chainring and 10-52T cassette range, allowing us to tackle any terrain in our way, shifted with accuracy by the SRAM GX AXS rear derailleur and SRAM Rival AXS shifters. To keep us rolling quickly and efficiently, Cervelo opted for the FSA AGX i25 Wheelset with Maxxis Rambler tires, both of which are made specifically for gravel riding.
