The Cervélo Áspero Apex XPLR AXS 1 SC redefines versatility for gravel enthusiasts, offering a seamless transition between pavement and rugged singletrack. Built for riders who demand road-bike performance on off-road adventures, it features a stiff carbon frame paired with a Cervélo all-carbon fork equipped with the Trail Mixer adjustment. This innovative two-position system maintains consistent handling by compensating for differences in 650b and 700c tire circumferences, ensuring optimal control at high speeds. Designed to fit tires up to 700 x 40mm or 650b x 49mm, the frame also incorporates internal cable routing, two water bottle cage mounts, and integrated frame protection for practical, durable performance on any terrain.

The Áspero Apex XPLR AXS version is powered by SRAM’s 12-speed Apex XPLR AXS wireless electronic drivetrain, delivering precise, effortless shifting even in challenging conditions. With a 40T chainring up front and an 11-44T cassette in the rear, riders can confidently conquer climbs and power through sprints. SRAM Apex hydraulic disc brakes ensure reliable stopping power, enhancing safety on steep descents. The bike rolls on Fulcrum Rapid Red 300 tubeless-ready wheels paired with WTB Vulpine TCS Light Fast Rolling tires, offering better traction, smoother rides, and fewer flats. Featuring thoughtful components like a Zipp Service Course handlebar and a Prologo Dimension saddle, the Áspero Apex XPLR AXS 1 SC is the perfect companion for gravel riders seeking speed, comfort, and adaptability across diverse terrains.
