Cérvelo Áspero Apex 1 Gravel Bike

The 21st-century rider demands more than uneven roads, busy with traffic, whilst often receiving insults from aggressive car drivers. Today's cyclists demand road speed, on their own turf, that allows them to go as fast as they want, for as long as they want, with nothing to hold them back. Introducing the gravel bike. Whilst the gravel bike has been around for a short while, its tradition has been found in cargo-carrying frames that lack a desire to stimulate fast-paced adrenaline. Cérvelo is ready to change all of that, the brand-new Áspero takes the gravel bike and redefines it. The frame is inspired by road racing, remaining true to Cérvelo's aero heritage that finds the perfect blend of a lightweight, yet stiff frame, that makes the most of every ounce of power that you put through the pedals, smashing KOM's and personal bests as you go. Cérvelo has also ensured that you can make a personal wheel and tyre choice without having to compromise on the feel of the bike. A clever piece of engineering found on the front thru-axle called the "TrailMixer" allows you to run both 700c and 650b wheels, with a range of the most commonly used tyre sizes, whilst handling just the same; with confidence, power and control. The SRAM Apex 1x dedicated groupset does away with the need for a front derailleur to ensure shifting is crisp and hassle-free, giving you the range you need to race up the climbs and speed down the descents. So take control of a new adventure that isn't limited to how far, fast or long.
