Lightweight, aerodynamic Áspero-5 frameset maximizes speed and versatility for gravel racing
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The Áspero-5 frameset is a true game-changer for gravel racing. It blends Cervélo’s legendary aero know-how with practical features like in-frame storage and a threaded T47A bottom bracket. I love how it’s lighter, stiffer, and more customizable than ever. This is the frame I’d pick for fast gravel events where every watt and every gram counts."
We may not have invented the gravel bike, but Cervélo’s Áspero-5 frame proves we’ve perfected it. From the moment we saw the silhouette—clearly inspired by the S5—we knew Cervélo was serious about making the fastest aero gravel machine out there. The Áspero-5 isn’t just about speed; it’s about racing smarter, with features like fully internal routing, a zero-offset SP27 seatpost, and a removable front derailleur cover that adapts to any drivetrain setup.
We’re especially impressed by the integrated in-frame storage, which lets us carry essentials without sacrificing aerodynamics or stiffness. The frame’s 45mm tire clearance and UDH compatibility mean we can run big rubber and wide-range gearing for any course. Whether we’re sprinting for the finish or tackling technical terrain, the Áspero-5 frame delivers the confidence and efficiency we crave in a top-tier gravel race bike
