Cervelo Aspero

So that's a wrap on the review of the new Cevello Asparago 5 A Do it all gravel race bike that leans towards the road end of things. If you like this ...

I just picked up a 2021 Cervelo Aspero GRX 810 from a guy who originally bought it in March. It's set up tubeless with 700x42 ReneHurse Hurricane Ridges. I road it as soon as I got it home. This thing is nice!.

The bike is a Cervelo Aspero 5 with SRAM Force AXS 36/10-36 running on i9 Torch/HED Belgium+ wheels with Panaracer GravelKing SK 38c tires. The bike felt great on the climbs and on most of the descents - it really only felt out of its depth coming into corners with longer stretches of brake bumps.

I drove a Cervelo Aspero in the past but didn't like the ride and geometry at all, too stretched out and very harsh ride. Regarding geometry: I'm 179cm, with a crazy long inseam of 89cm and short upper-body/short arms.

Went into a LBS to discuss options for getting a bike on 2022+ and this Cervelo Aspero GRX RX600 was on the floor and in my size. I could not walk away without it!. This is my first gravel bike as well and I am just in love with gravel riding!

I just did a metric century (101.8km total) on my Cervelo Aspero. With respect to geo this is probably more towards the road side of things than mtb, so not as relaxed or upright. But after 4.5 hours of riding I have no obvious sore points or discomfort, and I’ll be repeating that effort again in 2 days. Bottom line they’re very comfy if fit and setup correctly.

So I’m overly ecstatic for my 2021 Cervelo Aspero to arrive in the next expected month. What I did was search for all the retailers in a 100 mile radius, called, and put a deposit on retailers where I can take my deposit with no question asked. Throughout my search, I got mixed feedback on what size I was recommended based on what the bike will serve.
