Cervelo

Aspero Apex XPLR Gravel Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

“This Áspero adapts quickly to changing terrain—flip the fork, roll the right wheels, and Apex XPLR shifting keeps drivetrain simplicity at speed.”

The Cervélo Áspero Apex XPLR is designed for riders who chase versatility without sacrificing speed. Its frame is rooted in gravel-engineered efficiency—threaded BBright, compliance-enhancing seat stays, and a universal derailleur hanger set it up for durability and adaptability. Cable-routing stays internal, and tire compatibility—up to 45 mm on 700c or 47 mm on 650b—allows every setup from fast flattish miles to loose adventure segments.

Governance over speed and airflow comes from a 1×12 SRAM Apex XPLR drivetrain: a clean, intuitive system paired with a 40T crank and broad 11–44T cassette to keep momentum across varied terrain. Trusted hydraulic braking gives confidence when drilling turns or powering descents. Wrapped on Alexrims GX7 wheels and WTB Vulpine TCS tires, it balances traction, efficiency, and confidence. With Smartpak storage onboard and adjustable geometry, the Áspero Apex XPLR handles everything from quick gravel blasts to long, gear-laden backroads—all while keeping you focused on flow, not fitting.
