Cervelo Aspero 700c - Apex XPLR AXS 1 - Satin Black

Cervelo Aspero SC 700c - Apex XPLR AXS 1

In 2019, Aspero took the gravel world by storm, heralding a "new era of speed in gravel." Fun, but flat out. The new Aspero remains true to its original brief, but with some improvements. And it’s more aero, of course. In the case of Aspero, aerodynamic performance is less about pure speed as a result of drag reduction, and more about conservation of energy. After a big day in a headwind, the three watts saved over the previous Aspero might add up to one less energy gel your stomach has to digest—WORTH IT

Key Features:

• The Evolution - Dropped seat stays give a bit more compliance out back, slightly reduced front-end stiffness makes the last hours of a long race less painful. Added tire clearance for mud. It’s a lot of seemingly small improvements, but they add up to a lot. The result is a bike that feels a lot like the original Áspero, but is faster, more comfortable, and more versatile
  
  
• Incremental Improvements - Threaded T47a bottom bracket is a simple, rider-serviceable interface that allows the benefits of BBRight in a more user-friendly form. SRAM’s Universal Derailleur Hanger compatible with Transmission drivetrains of today and ensures compatibility for future drivetrain developments. Internal Cable Routing shares the same bearing dimensions as R5, Soloist, R5-CX, and Caledonia, which means you can use any combination of bearing caps and stems
  
  
• For The Versatility Minded Customer - 27.2 round seat post is dropper post compatible. Additional storage on the top tube - Cervelo bento box compatible. Option for up to three water bottles. Updated full rear wheel cutout, and removable front derailleur mount
  
  
• Two-Position Adjustment - 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
