2025 CERVELO ASPERO-5

Designed for long, fast gravel races, Aspero-5 is for those who toe the start line with purpose, and aim to be in the group straightaway. Our engineers like to say, “if it looks fast, it probably is.” It’s a bit tongue-in-cheek, but there’s some truth to it, and Aspero-5 looks fast standing still. The cables are tucked neatly inside the stem and headtube, there’s a hint of a wheel cutout, and all of the tube shapes come from our race-proven library of shapes.

Some might say aero doesn’t matter on a gravel bike, but if you’ve battled a headwind across an open prairie, the thirty-two grams of drag you’ll save with the Áspero-5 come as a welcome respite. Most gravel racing is done without the benefit of a World Tour peloton—or World Tour tactics—and when it’s your nose in the wind all day, it’s nice to know your bike’s shouldering a bit of the load.

Trail—front-wheel response to rider input—is the most critical factor in high-velocity handling. Flipping the two-position "Trail Mixer" to compensate for the difference in circumference between a 650b and 700c tire maintains consistent handling by maintaining consistent trail figures.

We designed Aspero with clearance for up to 700c x 40mm tires or 650b x 49mm tires. Of course, there are variables—rim width, tire casing, and tread depth—which will affect final clearance. We (and the International Organization for Standardization, or ISO), always recommend 4mm of clearance between the tire and frame.

**New Shimano road (not gravel) 12 speed front derailleurs reduce tire clearance in the rear of the frame to 700 x 38c or 650b x 45c.

Red and Force builds include Quarq Zero powermeters integrated into the crank. The integration of a powermeter results in better stiffness, lighter weight, and improved accuracy over aftermarket solutions—and the DZero delivers power measurement accurate to +/- 1.5%, even in variable temperatures.

I've ordered a bike for pickup. Will it be assembled?

Absolutely! We take care of all the assembly work for you. Our experienced mechanics ensure that every bike is fully assembled and goes through a safety check before it's ready for you to collect. So, if you'd like, you can even ride it home from the shop right away!

Just a small note: a few bikes might not come with pedals included, so you might need to buy those separately. If you have any doubts or questions, feel free to ask us!

When will I get my order?

We strive to process and dispatch parts orders promptly. If we receive your order by 12 pm from Monday to Friday, we aim to have it shipped out on the same day. However, during peak sales or exceptionally busy periods, there might be delays.

Once your order is on its way, you will receive tracking information from our carriers, which will allow you to monitor the delivery progress.

Can you ship a bike to me?

Certainly! We offer bike shipping directly to your home. When your bike arrives, it will come fully assembled, although some basic mechanical skills and tools may be needed for the final adjustments.

If you're unsure about assembling the bike yourself, we highly recommend seeking assistance from a local bicycle mechanic. Please note that if you choose to have a third party assemble or inspect your bike, any additional fees incurred will be at your own expense.

Our goal is to ensure that you receive your bike in the best condition possible, and we're here to support you throughout the process. If you have any questions or concerns about the shipping or assembly, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Can you post overseas?
