Aspero Apex XPLR 1 Gravel Bike

Cervelo Aspero Apex XPLR 1 Gravel Bike

Engineered for relentless speed and long-distance gravel racing, the Cervélo Áspero Apex XPLR 1 combines raw performance with smart everyday versatility. Staying true to its race-proven heritage, this updated machine refines every aspect of the ride to conserve your energy when the miles start piling up. Clean internal cable routing keeps the cockpit clutter-free, while subtle aerodynamic tweaks save valuable watts against harsh headwinds. Cervélo has also integrated a threaded T47 BBright bottom bracket for simple, reliable maintenance and a UDH-compatible rear derailleur hanger to support modern drivetrain setups. Complete with a frame-matched top tube storage bag and computer mount, this build delivers a sleek, race-ready package right out of the box.

Unmatched Comfort and Versatility

To tackle unpredictable terrain and grueling, multi-hour efforts, the frame geometry has been carefully tuned to reduce fatigue without sacrificing crisp handling. Dropped seatstays offer compliance where you need it most, dampening high-frequency vibrations from rough fire roads and harsh gravel. Paired with reduced front-end rigidity and expanded mud clearance inspired by championship cyclocross design, the Áspero thrives in adverse conditions. The high-volume WTB Vulpine tyres provide confident traction and cushioned rollover, giving you the freedom to push harder over loose surface, chunky ballast, and slick singletrack.

Precision SRAM Apex 1x Performance

Powering the bike is the dependable SRAM Apex 1x 12-speed drivetrain, giving you a massive gear range to conquer steep gravel pitches and speed down open descents with smooth, intuitive shifting. Powerful hydraulic disc brakes deliver consistent stopping confidence regardless of dirt or wet weather. Rolling on robust Vision Team 30 tubeless-compatible wheels, this setup maximizes power transfer while keeping overall maintenance straightforward. Weighing in at 9.63 kg, it offers the ultimate balance of durability, explosive acceleration, and steady control for riders who demand top-tier gravel performance on every outing.
