Summary
The Cervélo Aspero is celebrated for its speed, responsive handling, and stiff frame, making it a top choice for gravel racing and fast rides. While it excels in performance and efficiency, its race-focused design limits versatility for bikepacking and rough terrain. Reviews highlight its aero aesthetics and quality components, though some note the ride can be firm and the price tag hefty.

'Haul ass, not cargo.'
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.
