The ASTR RS is a performance-driven gravel bike developed for modern gravel racing.
This is evident from its groundbreaking 52 mm tire clearance — a category-leading move that anticipates the growing trend toward wider tires. Gravel races are becoming increasingly rough, while riders are going faster than ever, placing new demands on the bike.
The Astr RS also features aero-optimized tube shapes and a fork with integrated diffuser, based on Ridley's Falcn RS aero-to-weight research. In addition, it has a confidence-inspiring geometry with high-speed stability in mind: longer wheelbase, a slacker head angle, and a lower bottom bracket.
Riders need to conserve more energy during the race. With optimized aerodynamics, greater comfort, lower rolling resistance from wider tires, and improved climbing performance thanks to the low weight, the Astr RS ensures riders reach the finale with more energy in the tank than their competitors.
