The Cervelo Aspero 2026 GRX 820 is built for riders who want real speed on mixed surfaces, without giving up the sharp, responsive feel of a high-performance road bike.
Designed by Cervélo, the Áspero has become one of the benchmarks in modern gravel racing and fast adventure riding. It blends lightweight efficiency, confident handling, and aerodynamic thinking into a package that feels just as at home on hard-packed gravel as it does on sealed roads.
This 2026 build features the latest Shimano GRX 820 drivetrain, delivering precise, reliable mechanical shifting and gearing optimised for variable terrain. Whether you’re climbing loose fire roads, cruising back roads, or pushing the pace in a gravel race, the GRX system offers consistency and control in all conditions.
The Áspero’s carbon frame is engineered around Cervelo’s “trail mixer” geometry, allowing riders to fine-tune handling depending on tyre size and wheel setup. The result is a bike that feels stable at speed, confident on descents, and efficient when you’re putting power down. It responds instantly when you accelerate, yet remains composed on rougher surfaces.
Internal cable routing, clean lines, and thoughtful frame shaping give the Áspero a refined, purposeful look. It’s not built for casual cruising - it’s built for riders who care about pace, efficiency, and performance across long distances and changing terrain.
This is a gravel bike for riders who want to ride fast, travel light, and cover serious ground without compromise.
