Great review pretty much spot on! I had an Aspero for about 6 months. Sold it and got a crux (expert) instead. I have no regret in switching to the crux. It's the kind of bike I've always wanted: rides like a road bike, can handle rough roads and is light:) The crux checks all the boxes for me. The ride feel of the crux is also much more refined than the Aspero. They are both stiff but the crux just feels more lively. I'm definitely keeping the crux and may get a 2nd pair of (lighter)wheels for road riding.

I have 32mm GK standard rubber (kind of a semi slick but not the SS) on my Aspero, on Zipp 303 Firecrests, and the tyres measure 35mm on the wheel. I’ve done the same comparison as you - checking power when riding with people on road bikes - and I’d agree that I’m needing to put out 15-20W more to keep up. I keep meaning to put 28mm slicks on the Cervelo and see how much that margin comes down; intuitively I reckon it will be down to 5-10W at that point, judging by my times and average speed for a regular 115km ride on my road bike (30mm slicks) and the Aspero on the GKs.

Tires and wheels! Would have been more insightful to just swap the wheelsets completely across both so you're comparing frames and not frames + wheels + tires. Of course the terra speed in 35mm (360g) is going to feel better on the road than the gravel m in 40(?)mm (500g).

@johannesmerg11572 жыл бұрын
Many confuse or do not understand the two settings on the fork. The setting to the shorter wheelbase means more smoothness. The setting for the longer wheelbase means more agility. It's not primarily about the wheelbase, but about the trail on the fork. If you move the front wheel more to the rear with the setting (smaller wheelbase), the trail on the fork increases. The bike runs more smoothly. If you set the adjustment forward (bigger wheelbase), the trail on the fork becomes smaller, making the handling more agile. So it's the other way around than one would intuitively think.

You don't mention the tyre difference between the two, which is a significant difference both off road and on road. The Aspero tyres are bigger and chunkier and heavier, so of course it's going to be slower on the road and more comfortable on gravel! Therefore the comparison doesn't work. Tyre selection is everything. ....I have an Aspero which I ride on road with carbon wheels and road slicks - it's an amazing road bike. The geometry of the Aspero is also virtually the same as a Cervelo R5 or Soloist, especially with the flip chip in the forks mounted in the rearward setting (which you also neglect to mention). I think you'd find that if you put road tyres on the Aspero you'd easily keep up with your road bike mates.

after hearing your comments re: steering/feel, I checked the geometry charts for both bikes. Some things don't make sense. For example, comparing sz 56cm (my size), both frames have the same head tube angle, and the Crux has a slightly longer fork offset than the Aspero. But, the Cervelo chart shows a lower trail number than the Crux, which is counter to how HT angle and fork offset interact to determine trail. The shorter offset should result in higher trail, not lower. One of the charts, or maybe both, is wrong, unless they're calculating the values based on significantly different tire sizes.

What are your thoughts on the Aspero vs Crux in the setting of cyclocross? Where tight handling is a key factor, looks like the Crux has more space between the top tube and down tube for shouldering and 0.5mm more BB height. The other thing that I find interesting is I would go 49cm for Crux whereas feel like I could go 51 with a shorter stem or 48 with longer stem on the Aspero. Will likely not ride either on the road much aside from winter training or some mixed surface riding/racing with 30cs. But the bike that is gonna have the sharper handling between the tape (not as good for gravel) would probably be the better CX/Gravel bike for me. Was surprised to see my Norco Search which I've only ridden once, has a very aggressive stack/reach ratio and tighter trail compared to the Crux and Aspero, however, its wheelbase is significantly longer so maybe a bit of a hinderance in CX. First gravel race in the rain tomorrow (2nd ride on the bike) so will get to understand it better with more saddle time to help determine what I want when I upgrade to a higher end carbon bike for gravel and CX.

Agree with the cable management. One observation: if the Crux is built with GRX Di2, you'd run into the same issue you have with the Aspero. I built mine with Di2 and I dislike it so much, that I am ripping it off my Crux and re-building with Force etap AXS 2x. While I absolutely love GRX Di2, it is not the best choice for the Crux in my opinion -very messy, plus the e-wire is too thin/flimsy, I feel it could break very easily; plus aesthetically, it doesn't look good.
