Meet the all-new Áspero – built for speed, designed for gravel, and refined for the toughest rides.
Originally launched in 2019, the Áspero redefined what gravel bikes could be: fast, aggressive, and race-ready. The latest version stays true to that bold DNA, with thoughtful upgrades that make it even better: a threaded bottom bracket shell, cleaner internal cable routing, and a UDH-compatible derailleur hanger for full compatibility with SRAM Transmission.
Oh, and yes — it’s more aerodynamic. But not just for speed’s sake — this aero boost is about energy conservation. Shave off 3 watts in a headwind, and that’s one less gel you’ll need to force down. Worth it? Absolutely.
We’ve also refined comfort and capability:
These small changes add up. The result? A bike that feels just like the original Áspero — only faster, more comfortable, and more versatile than ever before.
Áspero features the asymmetrical T47a threaded bottom bracket, first introduced on the R5-CX. This system combines the performance benefits of BBRight with the simplicity and serviceability of a classic threaded design. It's easy to maintain and built to last — perfect for riders who like to do their own wrenching.
The new Áspero comes with SRAM’s Universal Derailleur Hanger, giving you full compatibility with modern Transmission drivetrains — and ensuring you're future-proof for whatever's next. Whether you're racing hard or riding wild, UDH has your back.
Thanks to shared bearing dimensions with models like the R5, Soloist, R5-CX, and Caledonia, Áspero is highly customizable. Mix and match stem and bearing cap setups to get the exact cockpit look and feel you want. For a fully integrated, race-ready front end, just pair the ST31 stem with the HB13 handlebar from the R5.
