Summary
The Cervélo Aspero is a high-performance gravel bike designed for speed and agility, excelling in fast, one-day gravel events and cyclocross. It features a lightweight, stiff frame that ensures efficient power transfer and responsive handling, though its race-focused design may limit versatility for bikepacking or rough terrain. Reviews highlight its aero aesthetics and quality components, but note the lack of mudguard mounts and a firm ride quality.

'Haul ass, not cargo.'
Cyclist'The Áspero might be Cervélo’s first venture into off-road territory, but I think it’s a resounding success.'
Cyclist'If you’re transitioning from racing on the road and want a similar experience on gravel, the Áspero will not disappoint.'
Cyclist'The Áspero was a ground-breaking gravel bike when it first arrived. Today, it’s still one of the high watermarks for what makes a fast, lightweight and fun bike to ride.'

The Cervélo Áspero GRX RX815 Di2 is designed for racing and made for gravel fans who love speed and chasing KOMs. Nevertheless, with an electronic 2x drivetrain and a classic two-piece cockpit, it should maintain good all-round capabilities. Our group test pits it against 18 of the best gravel bikes of the season to reveal whether this is the case.
