Cervélo Aspero 5 frame kit dpm Mod. 2025

The Áspero-5 looks fast even when standing still. No exposed cables, tubes drawn from our library of aerodynamically proven shapes, and just a hint of a cutout in the seat tube to gain a little more tire clearance result in a bike that’s ready to go full throttle.

Some might say that aerodynamics don’t matter on a gravel bike, but if you’ve ever battled across an open field against a headwind, the 32 grams of drag saved with the Áspero-5 will be a welcome relief. Most gravel races are run without the advantage of a World Tour peloton—or World Tour tactics—and when you’re facing the wind all day, it’s nice to know your bike is taking some of the load off your shoulders.

“Trail”—the front wheel’s response to rider input—is the most important factor for handling at high speeds. The ability to adjust the trail in two positions with the “Trail Mixer” to compensate for the extreme range of tire sizes ensures a consistent riding feel.

Cervelo designed the Aspero with tire clearance for tires up to 700c x 41mm or 650b x 47mm wide. Of course, there are variables* – rim width, tire casing/tread depth – that will affect the final clearance.

* The new Shimano road (not gravel) 12-speed derailleurs reduce the tire clearance at the rear of the frame to 700 x 38c or 650b x 45c.
