Our engineers like to joke that, "if it looks fast, it probably is." But there’s some truth to that, and Áspero-5 looks fast standing still. No cables in the wind, tube shapes from our aerodynamically-proven library, and a hint of a cut out in the seat tube, all add up to a bike that proves the adage.

Features

• Lightweight Speed: Some might say aero doesn’t matter on a gravel bike, but if you’ve battled a headwind across an open prairie, the thirty-two grams of drag you’ll save with the Áspero-5 come as a welcome respite. Most gravel racing is done without the benefit of a World Tour peloton—or World Tour tactics—and when it’s your nose in the wind all day, it’s nice to know your bike’s shouldering a bit of the load.
  
• 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.
  
• Multiple Configurations: We designed Aspero to fit most 700c x 42mm or 650b x 49mm wheel/tire combinations. Of course, there are variables—rim width, tire casing, and tread depth—which will affect final clearance. We (and the International Organization for Standardization, or ISO), always recommend 4mm of clearance between the tire and frame.

Maintenance Tips

• Frame Care: Clean the Lime Shimmer finish with a soft microfiber cloth and mild bike cleaner to preserve its glossy shine. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or pressure washers.

• Pre-Assembly Inspection: Before building, carefully inspect the bottom bracket, headset, and dropouts for any debris or damage. Ensure all interfaces are clean for a smooth assembly.

• Torque Specifications: Adhere to Cervélo’s recommended torque settings when assembling components to prevent damage to the carbon frame.

• Frame Protection: Use protective film on high-contact areas such as the chainstay, downtube, and headtube to safeguard the frame from scratches or chips.

• Storage: Store the frame in a cool, dry environment, out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperatures, to maintain both the frame’s integrity and finish.
