Road Frames

Faster Than the Rest The all-new Áspero-5 was built for the front end of the race, and is the most aerodynamic gravel bike ever created. Cervélo has long been synonymous with aerodynamic performance, and we’ve brought that 30 years of expertise to gravel racing. The new bike is a stunning 37 Watts faster than the outgoing model, and 34 Watts faster than its nearest competitor. With clearance for 45mm tires, downtube storage, and a threaded bottom bracket, Áspero-5 is ready to race the second it rolls off the shop floor. It made its rainbow-jersey debut (and won!) under UCI Gravel World Champion Marianne Vos, and will be campaigned by some of the most elite bike racers in the world. SHAPE OF SPEED Áspero-5 is 37 Watts faster than its predecessor, and 34 Watts faster than the nearest competitor. Cervélo has long led the industry in aerodynamics, and we’ve delivered a gravel race bike worthy of that reputation. The aero handlebar and stem are responsible for nearly 6 Watts of that savings on their own. WEIGHT The new Áspero-5 is 66 grams lighter than its predecessor, despite adding a significant amount of surface area to improve aerodynamic performance. MIXED & MATCHED TIRE GEO When fitted with equally-sized tires (e.g. 42mm front and rear), Áspero-5’s handling is stable, confidence-inspiring, and ready for the roughest courses. To increase aerodynamics even further, and sharpen handling for less-technical courses, we optimized the geo for a 4mm tire width differential (e.g. 40mm front, 44mm rear). DOWNTUBE STORAGE First seen on the P-Series triathlon bike, we’ve implemented our industry-leading downtube storage door on the Áspero-5. It’s the lightest and most aerodynamically efficient system on the market, and puts a tube, tools, and a flat kit inside the frame and out of the wind.

The Cervélo C3 Disc Road Frameset is designed to deliver a versatile and comfortable ride while maintaining the performance characteristics expected from a road bike. Here are some key features and aspects of the Cervélo C3 Disc Road Frameset: Frame Construction: The frame is typically crafted from high-quality carbon fiber, known for its optimal balance of strength, stiffness, and light weight. Cervélo is renowned for its expertise in engineering frames for performance, and the C3 Disc Frameset likely reflects the brand's commitment to cutting-edge design and technology. Endurance Geometry: The C3 is generally categorized as an endurance road bike, suggesting a more relaxed geometry compared to pure racing bikes. This geometry is intended to provide a more comfortable riding position, making it well-suited for long rides and varied road conditions. Disc Brake Compatibility: As indicated by the "Disc" in the name, the frameset is designed to accommodate disc brakes. Disc brakes offer consistent and powerful braking performance, particularly in diverse weather conditions. Versatility: The Cervélo C3 is often positioned as a versatile road bike capable of handling a variety of surfaces, including rough roads and gravel. This versatility makes it suitable for riders who want the option to explore beyond smooth pavement. Internal Cable Routing: Many modern road framesets, including those from Cervélo, often feature internal cable routing. This design not only contributes to a clean and streamlined appearance but also helps protect cables from the elements, ensuring smooth shifting and braking performance. Thru-Axles: Thru-axles are commonly used in disc brake road bikes for enhanced stiffness and stability. They provide a more secure wheel attachment compared to traditional quick-release systems. Tire Clearance: The Cervélo C3 frameset likely provides ample tire clearance, allowing riders to use wider tires for improved comfort and traction, especially on rough roads or gravel.
