The current Aspero keeps that same brief — a fast, race-bred gravel bike rather than an adventure-touring rig — while cleaning up a handful of details that mattered to the riders who put the first version through Unbound and other long, hard gravel days. The frame gets a threaded bottom bracket, neater cable routing, a derailleur hanger built for SRAM's newest drivetrains, and a shape Cervelo describes as more aerodynamically efficient than its predecessor. For Cervelo, that aero work is less about outright speed and more about energy conservation over a long day of gravel racing — the kind of thing you don't notice until the last hour, when a headwind has been chipping away at you for six.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat threaded bottom bracket is worth pausing on. Cervelo built the Aspero around an asymmetrical T47a threaded shell, a design it first used on the R5-CX cyclocross frame. It gives you the wide-stance stiffness benefits of a press-fit BBRight setup, but in a threaded interface that's simpler to service at home or at a shop. The frame also uses SRAM's Universal Derailleur Hanger standard, which keeps the door open for SRAM's Transmission drivetrains and later developments without needing a hanger swap. Behind the seat tube, Cervelo dropped the seat stays for a bit more rear-end compliance and opened up extra mud clearance — a detail pulled directly from lessons learned racing the R5-CX through the mud at Unbound. Up front, the company eased off on stiffness slightly, aiming to keep the last hours of a long gravel race from beating up your hands and shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Rival AXS 1 build runs a mullet drivetrain — SRAM Rival AXS E1 shifters and a Rival 1 AXS E1 crankset with a 46-tooth chainring, paired to a SRAM GX Eagle AXS rear derailleur and a GX Eagle 10-52T, 12-speed cassette. That combination borrows the wide range of a mountain bike cassette and puts it behind road-style shifters, so you get a genuinely low climbing gear for punchy gravel pitches without giving up the ergonomics of drop-bar shifting. SRAM Rival E1 hydraulic disc brakes with Paceline Centerlock rotors handle stopping power, wet or dry, loose gravel or pavement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWheels are Cervelo's own Reserve 40|44TA GR carbon set — a 40mm-deep front and 44mm-deep rear, both tubeless compatible and built on Reserve hubs. They're wrapped in WTB Vulpine TCS tires in a 700x45 width, a fast-rolling gravel tire with enough volume to smooth out chatter without dragging on hardpack. The cockpit pairs a Cervelo AB09 carbon handlebar — 31.8mm clamp with a 16-degree flare for extra control in the drops on loose terrain — with a Cervelo ST36 alloy stem and a Cervelo SP19 carbon seatpost. A Fizik Vento Argo X3 saddle rounds out the contact points. Cervelo also builds in a Smartpak top tube storage bag along with front and rear accessory mounts, so you can carry a computer, lights, or extra nutrition without strapping on aftermarket cages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aspero Rival AXS 1 is built for riders who want to race gravel or push long, fast days on mixed terrain without needing a second bike for the pavement sections. The wide-range mullet drivetrain suits routes with real elevation, the tire and frame clearance handle rough, technical gravel, and the aero-minded frame shape means you're not giving up much when the road smooths out. It's a bike built around one job — going fast over inconsistent terrain for a long time — and every spec on this build supports that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-label\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-label\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value\"\u003eCarbon\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFork:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value\"\u003eCervelo All-Carbon\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadset:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value\"\u003eFSA IS2 1-1\/4, 45-degx 45-deg \/ 1-1\/2, 36-deg x 45-deg\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeatpost:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value\"\u003eCervelo SP19 Carbon \/ 27.2mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear Derailleur:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value\"\u003eSRAM GX Eagle AXS\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrankset:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value\"\u003eSRAM Rival 1 AXS E1\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChainrings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value\"\u003e46t\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottom Bracket:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value\"\u003eSRAM DUB Wide T47 BBRight\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrake Calipers:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value\"\u003eSRAM Rival E1 Hydraulic Disc\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRotors:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value\"\u003eSRAM Paceline Centerlock\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShifters \/ Levers:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value\"\u003eSRAM Rival AXS E1\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCassette:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value\"\u003eSRAM GX Eagle 12-speed 10-52\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChain:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value\"\u003eSRAM Eagle 70 T-Type 12-speed\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWheel -
