Due to its fast, versatile, and comfortable construction, we recommend the Cervelo Aspero GRX 610 1x Gravel Bike for riders who love the feeling of flying down both paved roads and gravel trails alike. The Aspero frame is built with more of a road bike geometry with a steep head tube angle, longer top tube, and a shorter stem, but is optimized for mixed-terrain riding with customizable features such as dropper post compatibility, an adjustable fork, and increased mud clearance for use with both 700c and 650b tires. On this Aspero, we power through the gravel with the Shimano GRX 610 1 x 12-speed drivetrain, which provides gravel-specific gearing, shifting, and braking performance. As we shift between the 40t chainring and 10-45t cassette range, we are sure to find a gear that feels perfect for any surface, flat or steep, that comes our way, while the enhanced comfort and control of the hydraulic disc brake levers make stopping feel good. To keep us rolling over gravel and asphalt with unmatched traction at high speeds, Cervelo sets us up for success with the fast-rolling combination of WTB Vulpine TCS Light tires and Alexrims Boondocks 7D wheelset.
