ROUVIDA FORCE XPLR AXS GRAVEL Performance

The ROUVIDA FORCE XPLR AXS GRAVEL combines Cervélo performance engineering with modern electric gravel technology. It is built around the Rouvida platform and uses the Fazua Ride60 drive system to provide additional power while maintaining the handling characteristics expected from a performance-focused gravel bike.

Cervélo designed Rouvida around a versatile frame platform that can be configured for road or gravel riding. Interchangeable dropouts significantly alter the geometry, allowing the bike to deliver road-focused handling in one configuration and gravel-focused handling in another.

Fazua Ride60 Electric Assistance

The ROUVIDA FORCE XPLR AXS GRAVEL uses the Fazua Ride60 motor. The system delivers 60 Nm of torque and works with a 430 Wh battery. Cervélo states that the system provides assistance up to 28 mph.

The motor is integrated into the Rouvida frame to maintain the clean appearance of the bike. Fazua designed the Ride60 system to work smoothly with the rider’s pedaling input, creating an electric gravel bike that is focused on performance rather than utility-style riding.

SRAM Force XPLR AXS Drivetrain

The SRAM Force XPLR AXS drivetrain gives the ROUVIDA FORCE XPLR AXS GRAVEL an electronic shifting platform suited to gravel riding. AXS technology provides wireless shifting and a clean cockpit, while the XPLR family is designed around the demands of mixed-surface riding.

For gravel riders, electronic shifting can make gear changes quick and intuitive when the terrain changes. This is especially useful on routes that combine fast gravel, steep climbs and technical sections.

Cervélo ROUVIDA Gravel Geometry

Cervélo developed the Rouvida frame so that its geometry can be changed between road and gravel configurations. The interchangeable dropouts rotate the frame geometry to create the handling characteristics expected from each riding category.

The gravel configuration gives riders a platform designed for off-road surfaces while retaining the performance-focused character of a Cervélo bike. This makes the Rouvida particularly versatile for riders who want an electric bike that can cover different types of terrain.

ROUVIDA FORCE XPLR AXS GRAVEL Design

The ROUVIDA FORCE XPLR AXS GRAVEL is designed to look and ride like a performance bicycle while incorporating an integrated motor and battery. Cervélo states that the design process focused on maintaining the refined appearance associated with its performance bikes.

Cervélo also reoriented the battery during development. According to the company, this saved 25 grams in wind-tunnel testing. The speed sensor was also relocated as part of the overall integration of the electric system.

Integrated Battery and Controls

The 430 Wh battery is integrated into the Rouvida platform and works with the Fazua Ride60 motor. Cervélo also incorporates an indicator panel on the top tube with a USB charging port for lights and other accessories.

Road Control places the power and assist controls in a natural position on the handlebar drop. This gives the rider convenient access to the electric assistance system while riding.

ROUVIDA FORCE XPLR AXS GRAVEL for Gravel Riding

The ROUVIDA FORCE XPLR AXS GRAVEL is designed for riders who want electric assistance without moving away from a performance-oriented gravel-bike experience. The Fazua system can provide additional support on climbs, longer rides and demanding sections of gravel.

The gravel-specific configuration also gives the bike a more appropriate geometry for mixed surfaces. Riders can use the Rouvida for gravel training, long-distance exploration and faster off-road riding.

Electric Gravel Bike for Long Rides

Electric assistance can make longer gravel routes more accessible by providing additional support when the terrain becomes challenging. The combination of the 430 Wh battery and Fazua Ride60 motor gives the Rouvida an integrated system designed around performance riding.

The bike can also be adapted to a road configuration through the interchangeable dropout system. Cervélo notes that changing the inserts requires the appropriate parts and a firmware update performed by a Cervélo retailer.

Current ROUVIDA FORCE XPLR AXS GRAVEL Price

Cervélo currently lists the ROUVIDA FORCE XPLR AXS GRAVEL at $9,550 in the United States. Cervélo also notes that pricing and component specifications can change, so the official product page should be checked for the latest configuration.
