"Haul ass, not cargo"
A New Era of Speed in Gravel
In 2019, Áspero took the gravel world by storm, heralding a "new era of speed in gravel." Fun, but flat out.
The new Áspero remains true to its original brief, but with some improvements: a threaded BB shell, neater cable routing, and a UDH-compatible derailleur hanger for those who want to use SRAM's Transmission drivetrains. And it's more aero, of course.
In the case of Áspero, aerodynamic performance is less about pure speed as a result of drag reduction, and more about conservation of energy. After a big day in a headwind, the three watts saved over the previous Aspero might add up to one less energy gel your stomach has to digest—WORTH IT.
In addition to the drag reduction, we also dropped the seat stays to give a bit more compliance out back, and reduced front-end stiffness slightly to make the last hours of a long race less painful. Between those dropped seat stays, we added in a bit more clearance for mud, too, taking what we learned from R5-CX (and the Unbound mudfest in 2023).
SRAM Apex XPLR AXS - Wireless Simplicity
Wireless Freedom: SRAM's Apex XPLR AXS brings wireless electronic shifting to an accessible price point. Enjoy the benefits of AXS technology—clean cable routing, precise shifting, and easy customization—without the premium price tag.
The 1x drivetrain with 40T chainring and 11-44T cassette provides a wide gear range perfect for everything from steep gravel climbs to fast dirt road descents. Simple, reliable, and race-ready.
Key Innovations
Threaded Bottom Bracket
Aspero uses the asymmetrical T47a threaded bottom bracket pioneered on R5-CX. It's a simple, rider-serviceable interface that delivers the benefits of BBRight in a more user-friendly form.
Universal Derailleur Hanger
SRAM's UDH standard ensures compatibility with current Transmission drivetrains and future drivetrain developments. Ready for upgrades whenever you are.
Internal Cable Routing
Shares the same bearing dimensions as R5, Soloist, R5-CX, and Caledonia. Use any combination of bearing caps and stems for your preferred setup.
Why Choose the Aspero Apex?
Gravel Racing Heritage
The bike that redefined gravel racing in 2019. Same legendary Aspero platform, now at a more accessible price point.
Wireless Shifting Value
SRAM Apex XPLR AXS brings wireless electronic shifting to a more attainable price. Enjoy AXS technology without breaking the bank.
1x Simplicity
Single chainring drivetrain eliminates front shifting complexity. 11-44T wide range cassette covers all your gravel gearing needs.
Reserve Aluminum Wheels
Reserve 30 GR aluminum wheels with Reserve 4LD hubs. Durable, reliable, and ready for adventure without the carbon price premium.
Aerodynamic Efficiency
Improved aero saves 3 watts over the previous generation. More energy conservation for those long gravel days when every watt counts.
Comfort & Compliance
Dropped seat stays and reduced front-end stiffness make the last hours of long rides less painful. More clearance for mud, too.
