HAUL ASS, NOT CARGO

In 2019, Áspero took the gravel world by storm, heralding a "new era of speed in gravel." Fun, but flat out. The new Áspero remains true to its original brief, but with some improvements: a threaded BB shell, neater cable routing, and a UDH-compatible derailleur hanger for those who want to use SRAM's Transmission drivetrains. And it's more aero, of course. In the case of Áspero, aerodynamic performance is less about pure speed as a result of drag reduction, and more about conservation of energy. After a big day in a headwind, the three watts saved over the previous Aspero might add up to one less energy gel your stomach has to digest—WORTH IT.

In addition to the drag reduction, we also dropped the seat stays to give a bit more compliance out back, and reduced front-end stiffness slightly to make the last hours of a long race less painful. Between those dropped seat stays, we added in a bit more clearance for mud, too, taking what we learned from R5-CX (and the Unbound mudfest in 2023). It's a lot of seemingly small improvements, but they add up to a lot. The result is a bike that feels a lot like the original Áspero, but is faster, more comfortable, and more versatile.

THREADED BOTTOM BRACKET

Aspero uses the asymmetrical T47a threaded bottom bracket we pioneered on R5-CX. It's a simple, rider-serviceable interface that allows us to deliver the benefits of BBRight in a more user-friendly form.

UNIVERSAL DERAILLEUR HANGER

We used SRAM's Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) standard on the new Aspero. It's ideal if you want to live your best 'business in the front, party in the back' life with one of SRAM's Transmission drivetrains today, and ensures compatibility for future drivetrain developments.

INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING

Aspero shares the same bearing dimensions as R5, Soloist, R5-CX, and Caledonia, which means you can use any combination of bearing caps and stems. Want a super-racy, fully-internal look? Grab the ST31 and HB13 from R5.

The Bike For The Modern Road Rider

Caledonia is a high-performance road bike with endurance-oriented geometry that delivers everything you'd expect from a Cervélo. It's designed for all-season riders, fondo racers, and those who've just been bitten by the cycling bug. Clean, aerodynamic lines, hidden cables, and a highly-tuned carbon fiber layup add up to a bike that's fast enough for spirited group rides, comfortable enough for all-day efforts, and looks right at home at every coffee stop.

Internal Cables, Without The Hassle

Unlike the Caledonia-5's fully internal system, the Caledonia offers mechanic-friendly cable and hose routing that supports both fully-integrated setups (with ST31/32 and HB18) and our standard semi-external routing.

Ride-All-Day Geometr

With a 1013mm wheelbase, 415mm chainstays, and 72° head tube angle, the Caledonia delivers stable and predictable handling suitable for both casual riders and those hunting fondo and brevet glory. We also updated the trail figure to optimize the geometry for 32mm-wide tires.

Threaded Bottom Bracket

The T47a threaded bottom bracket simplifies service for home mechanics, and ensures long-term performance.

Room For Big Tires, Plus Fender Mounts

On a big ride, you'll encounter roads that are…less than maintained. The Caledonia's 36mm tire clearance allows you to mount up road-smoothing, comfortable rubber that makes a big difference when the odometer hits triple digits. And for the year-round, all-weather pedalers, Caledonia comes with fender mounts that make it easy to add full-coverage fenders.

A BIKE FOR THE WAY RIDERS RIDE Caledonia doesn’t fit in a box nicely, and we like it that way. It was conceived on our Thursday night rides—routes that often play fast and loose with ‘road ride.’ Modern road riders are looking for bikes to handle long-distance, high pace, no limits, and offer maximum fun—the Caledonia delivers performance, comfort, and speed. Oh, and you can fit a 34mm tire in there. Or 31mm with fenders. REMOVABLE FDM Our bolt-on front derailleur mount is made from high-strength aluminum alloy and attaches to the frame with two countersunk screws. This allows for easy replacement in the event of damage but also enables you to adapt to new standards as they become available or remove the front derailleur mount completely if you choose a 1x system. INTEGRATED ACCESSORY MOUNTS Integrated mounts enable the use of fenders, lights, and computers without compromising the aerodynamics or structure of your bike. The built-in mount systems provide a simple and clean-looking solution.
