CerveloAspero-5
Algupära
Aspero-5 asetseb standardse Aspero kohal kui CFR-ekvivalentne kruusasõidu lipulaev — sama võistluskeskne DNA, kuid aerodünaamiliste vormidega, mis on otse S5 aero maanteerattalt laenatud ja oluliselt kergema, jäigema kihiga. 2025. aasta uuendus keskendub kiiruse väidetele: Cervelo sõnul on uus Aspero-5 37 vatti kiirem kui eelkäija ja 34 vatti kiirem kui lähim konkurent (45 km/h tuuletunnelis). Tagumine ots liikus SRAM UDH-le, et tagada täielik ühilduvus uusimate XPLR täismonteeritud käiguvahetitega. Rehvimahutavus jääb suhteliselt tagasihoidlikuks 45 mm — teadlikult, sest see ratas on ehitatud kiireks siledamaks kruusaks nagu Unbound või SBT GRVL, mitte tehniliseks singletracki lähedaseks maastikuks. Aero SP27 istmepost välistab dropper-postide paigaldamise, rõhutades maanteele kalduvat eesmärki.
Tehnilised andmed
- Raam
- Cervélo aero carbon, S5-derived tube shaping; claimed frame 1023 g / fork 393 g (size 56). Integrated SP27 D-shaped aero seatpost (blocks dropper fitment)
- Kahvel
- Cervélo All-Carbon Tapered Aspero-5 fork, deeply bladed, integrates flush with head tube; 51.5 mm offset, rigid (no suspension)
- Jõuülekanne
- Shimano GRX Di2 / SRAM Force XPLR AXS to RED XPLR AXS (UDH-compatible rear dropout)
- Pidurid
- SRAM RED AXS HRD hydraulic disc, 160/160 mm rotors (flagship build)
- Rattad
- Reserve 40|44 TA carbon (40 mm front / 44 mm rear depth) on DT Swiss 240 hubs, 12×100 / 12×142 thru-axle
- Rehvid
- Vittoria Corsa Pro Control 700×42c (max clearance 45 mm rear; ~50 mm front per 2025 update)
- Vedrustus
- Rigid — no front or rear suspension; compliance comes only from frame layup, D-shaped seatpost and tyres
- Rooliplokk
- Cervélo HB16 alloy/carbon bar (40 cm hoods / 46 cm drops) + Cervélo ST31 stem (110 mm). Reviewers call the bar noticeably wide for modern racing
- Sadul
- Cervélo SP27 D-shaped aero seatpost (proprietary, dropper-incompatible); saddle varies by build spec
- Geomeetria
- Race-oriented, road-leaning: 71.6° head angle, 51.5 mm offset, ~62.5 mm trail; long & low (reach 395 mm / stack 575 mm size 56). Mirrors the Soloist road racer
- Kaal
- ~8.26 kg complete (size 58, RED AXS build with bags); frame 1023 g / fork 393 g claimed
Verdikt
- Genuinely fast on tarmac and hard-packed gravel — aero S5-derived shaping plus efficient acceleration make it one of the quickest gravel platforms on sale
- Precise yet balanced, road-bike-like handling thanks to Soloist-mirrored geometry (71.6° head angle, long-low reach/stack)
- Better bump absorption than expected for a race bike — D-shaped SP27 post and frame layup give real comfort on smoother surfaces
- Modern, clean integration: deeply bladed all-carbon fork flush with head tube, fully integrated cabling
- Future-proof drivetrain compatibility — SRAM UDH rear dropout for the latest XPLR full-mount derailleurs
- Limited 45 mm rear tyre clearance is modest by 2025 standards — many pro gravel racers now run 50 mm+, restricting versatility
- Out of its depth on rooty/rocky technical singletrack — reviewers felt 'a fish out of water', jarring and low-confidence in rough terrain
- Proprietary SP27 aero seatpost blocks dropper-post fitment, ruling out aggressive descending setups and bikepacking flexibility
- Stock cockpit (HB16 bar) is noticeably too wide for modern race aero positioning
- Some test bikes showed seatpost-clamp slippage, and there's a bit too much frame flex when sprinting hard; heavy and very expensive (~€8.5–11.5k)
