Cervelo Aspero Rival XPLR AXS 1 700c Gravel Bike - Sea Ice

🌪️ Race-Tuned for Gravel. Engineered to Haul Ass.

The 2025 Cervélo Áspero Rival XPLR AXS 1 in Sea Ice is a modern gravel racing machine, engineered for speed, built for versatility, and tuned for endurance. It stays true to the original Áspero’s “go-fast anywhere” ethos, now with subtle but significant refinements—more compliance, better cable integration, UDH compatibility, and a threaded T47a bottom bracket for easier maintenance.

Outfitted with SRAM Rival XPLR AXS 12-speed wireless electronic shifting, carbon Reserve wheels, and Cervélo’s aero-optimized carbon cockpit, this Áspero delivers a race-level gravel build without the race-only limitations. From rowdy race days to self-supported epics, it’s built to go flat-out—and look good doing it.
