Cervélo engineers like to say, "If it looks fast, it probably is" - but there's some truth to that, and the Áspero-5 looks fast even when stationary. No cables in the wind, tubes sourced from Cervélo's library of aerodynamically proven shapes, and just a hint of a cut-out in the seat tube to squeeze out a bit more tire clearance make for a frame that says full throttle.
Some might say that aero doesn't matter on a gravel bike, but if you've ever struggled across an open field in a headwind, the 32 grams of drag you save with the Áspero-5 is a welcome relief. Most gravel races are ridden without the benefit of a World Tour peloton - or World Tour tactics - and when you've got your nose in the wind all day, it's nice to know your bike is carrying some of the load.
Frame inclusive carbon fork, seatpost, stem, handlebar and thru-axles.
