Cervelo Aspero GRX RX810

Cervelo Aspero GRX RX810 - Your entry into the Cervelo Gravel range

It is autumn. Racing cyclists can also tell by the fact that gravel bike stories and tests are piling up in the trade magazines. Yet gravel biking has long been an attractive all-year-round variant of cycling. A brief explanation: a gravel bike like the Cervelo Aspero is basically a modern crosser. A mixture of road bike and cross-country MTB. The Aspero GRX RX810 opens up completely new touring areas and more variety for your training. Wheels and tyres create the conditions for a comfortable ride on gravel and forest roads: The frame is equipped ex works with road-standard 28-inch wheels (700c) and 40 mm wide tyres (up to 42 mm are possible). But if you are looking for even more damping and comfort, you can also fit 650B wheels (27.5 inches) with tyres up to 49 mm wide. With these you can venture out onto mountain bike terrain, for example one or two flow trails. This style is commonplace on trails in the USA. Maybe bikepacking is also an issue for you? Because equipped with minimalist panniers, the Aspero will be your companion for weekend adventures.

Cervelo - Carbon frame building at the highest level

Carbon has excellent damping properties and is therefore able to absorb vibrations. Best conditions for building a Gravelbike. Characteristic for the construction is, for example, also the low-set rear end. This measure provides increased vertical flex towards the saddle. The lateral stiffness of the frame is not affected by this, so that your kicks are still immediately converted into propulsion. That's why the Aspero is also a lot of fun on the road. Sprightly, agile and fast - a real all-rounder. The equipment of the Aspero is 100 per cent suited to its field of application: Shimano's GRX series components have been specially developed for gravel bikes. They are robustly built and function smoothly even under rough conditions. At the rear derailleur, stronger springs keep the chain under tension. All bearings are even better sealed against sand and dust. The GRX RX810 group ranks in the higher price segment and is here graded wide with a 2-speed chainring.
