Cervelo Aspero Apex 1x Disc Gravel Bike 2023
The Aspero Apex 1x Disc Gravel Bike from Cervelo is a fast off-road bike with a light carbon frame and 1x groupset. Power transfer is excellent thanks to the stiff, oversized bottom bracket area but the carbon layup elsewhere ensures good compliance and vibration absorption. There is sufficient clearance to fit 700 x 42mm or 650b x 49mm tyres, with the fork’s Trail Mixer flip-chip enabling some handling tuning when using different sized wheels. On the top tube, there are mounts for the included storage bag which keep it safely secured and tucked out of the wind behind the stem.
SRAM’s Apex groupset offers a simplified 1x system, with a wide-range 11-speed cassette that works well off-road and hydraulic disc brakes for power and control whatever the weather conditions. A good option for fast riding in drier conditions, the 38mm Panaracer GravelKing tyres have a low-profile tread that won’t cause too much extra drag on tarmac but that have sufficient grip for traction away from paved roads and the AlexRims Boondocks-7D wheels are tubeless-ready if required.
