The 2023 Cervelo Aspero Force XPLR is a carbon fiber gravel bike built for fast gravel racing and mixed-surface riding. The frame is carbon fiber, and the fork is a Cervelo All-Carbon tapered fork. The drivetrain is a 12-speed electronic SRAM Force eTap AXS XPLR groupset. It includes a 40T SRAM X-SYNC chainring, 172.5mm crank arms, and a 10-44t cassette, a gearing setup suited for steep off-road climbs and fast flat sections. Braking is handled by SRAM Force hydraulic disc brakes. The build also includes a SRAM RED chain. The wheels are carbon Zipp 303 Firecrest rims fitted with Specialized Pathfinder 700x42c tubeless-ready tires. The cockpit consists of Zipp carbon 420mm handlebars, a Zipp stem, and a Zipp seatpost with a Selle Italia Novus Evo Superflow saddle. The frame size is 56cm. This bike suits gravel racers and endurance riders targeting fast, competitive mixed-surface events. Riders benefit from 1x electronic gearing for simplicity over rough roads and a lightweight carbon wheelset for fast accelerations.
