2024 Cervelo Rouvida Force XPLR AXS 1 Gravel - Granite
CerveloA NEW FRONTIER
Rouvida gets you to fast, well, faster. Sleekly designed around the Fazua Ride60 motor, Rouvida delivers 60nM of torque paired to a 430wH battery, and assists you all the way up to 28mph-pro peloton speeds on the road, and edge-of-control-two-wheel-drifts off-road. Thats right, Rouvida comes in two configurations: road and gravel. We designed some clever interchangeable dropouts that significantly alter the geometry of the bike, so the road bike feels like a road bike, and the gravel bike feels like a gravel bike. No compromises, just speed.
Rouvida will be available in the UK and European markets in January, 2024. Rouvida is not available in Canada or Australia at this time, but we are working on navigating regulations in each region.
DOING MORE SO YOU CAN DO MORE
We knew there was interest in both gravel and road performance e-bikes, so we designed dropouts that make one frame do double duty. A world away from your typical ‘flip chip,’ these interchangeable dropouts have the effect of rotating the entire frame to achieve the fit and handling you expect from a Cervélo road bike, and from a Cervélo gravel bike. When changing inserts (which must be purchased from your retailer), there is also a firmware update that needs to take place, and this service must be performed by your local Cervélo retailer.
Classic Cervelo
While the design brief didnt actually say, Dont make it look like an e-bike, it was definitely at the forefront of our thoughts throughout the process. Our bikes are refined, design-forward performance machines. The addition of a motor and battery couldnt change that. From the reorientation of the battery to the relocation of the speed sensor, we made every effort to ensure that Rouvida meant Cervelo just as much as S5 or Aspero do.
Smooth, powerful, and natural
Fazuas latest offering, the Ride60, has already received accolades for its ability to blend seamlessly with your pedaling input to deliver a ride that feels like an analog bike, just with a lot more oomph.
All in the Details
We considered every angle, and the result is a bike that looks right at home alongside any of our aero models. Reorienting the battery from the standard implementation saved 25g in the wind tunnel, the Road Control puts power and assist control in a natural location in the handlebars drop, and an indicator panel on top tube includes a USB charging port for lights or accessories.

Frame Sizing
How do I determine what bike size I need?
The age-old question, isnt it? There are many factors that go into bicycle sizing and fit, particularly for high-performance bikes. Without being able to measure you and see you on a bike, precise fit information is difficult to supply. Its also not unusual for someone to be able to ride two different sizes depending on their goals, flexibility, and fit tolerance. That said, we have some fantastic retailers, and wed encourage you to go start a conversation with them about what you want from your new bike. .
