Aspero Rival XPLR AXS Gravel Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

“With flip-chip geometry, wide tire clearance, and a clean 1×13 Rival AXS system, the Áspero Rival XPLR AXS is a gravel race bike that adapts to every course on the fly.”

The Cervélo Áspero Rival XPLR AXS is built for those who crave gravel bikes that don’t compromise. Its Trail Mixer fork adjusts handling with wheel/tire changes, keeping trail and ride feel consistent. Clean internal routing, protective frame elements, and a service-friendly T47 bottom bracket hide smart design under a rugged carbon shell.

Its drivetrain—the SRAM Rival XPLR AXS 1×13 system—brings wireless simplicity and a broad 10–46T cassette, bolstered by a 40T crank to tackle anything from steep climbs to fast flats. Hydraulic Rival brakes bring trusted modulation, while the 40/44 Reserve tubeless wheels on WTB Vulpine rubber let speed stay smooth off-road. With the flexibility to suit endless terrain configurations and race-day needs, the Áspero Rival XPLR AXS is a purpose‑driven gravel racer that adapts with the trail.
