With a lightweight carbon frame and gravel-specific Shimano groupset, Cervelo’s Aspero GRX RX600 Disc Gravel Bike is the perfect way to explore off-road trails.
The GRX 600 drivetrain pairs 46/30 chainrings with an 11-speed 11-34 tooth cassette, giving a wide range of gears suitable for steep off-road climbs whilst still having plenty of speed for any tarmac sections. Hydraulic disc brakes instil confidence on twisty descents and the flared Easton EA50 AX handlebar gives plenty of control when things get tricky.
With design cues and technology taken from Cervelo’s race bikes, the Aspero’s frame enjoys aerodynamic details like the cutout in the seat tube that shields the rear wheel from the wind and shortens the chainstays for snappier handling. The Trail Mixer flip-chip in the fork can be used to adjust the wheelbase and enables the use of either 700c or 650b wheels without any detrimental effect on the handling. There is clearance for 42mm tyres on 700c wheels or 49mm if using 650b and the Alexrims Boondocks-7D wheels are tubeless-ready, so can be converted easily
On longer rides, the included top tube storage bag can be bolted on for extra layers or to carry nutrition and the Easton finishing kit is a nice touch.
