VAAST Model R/1 Road Bike

Light, aerodynamic, fast – the VAAST Model R/1 is engineered for performance on the pavement. The R/1 Force features super smooth and productive eTap shifting, an integrated aero cockpit, and refined geometry, all built upon the unmatched qualities of the VAAST Super Magnesium frame. This combination results in a seriously formidable tarmac machine.

The aero-inspired Model R/1 optimizes technology and design for maximum efficiency, where speed, aerodynamics, weight, and agility are paramount. Weighing in at just 1250g, the meticulously crafted Allite Super Magnesium™ frame achieves a performance level that non-ferrous metal frames can’t match. With its progressive geometry, the R/1 ensures a perfect fit for every rider. Utilizing VAAST’s V-Fit parameters, the head tube and seat tube angles are thoughtfully designed to place the rider in an optimal position, providing comfort and control with neutral steering geometry.

Unlike the A/1, the R/1 features reimagined tube profiles that enhance Super Magnesium capabilities, resulting in a remarkable 30% aerodynamic performance gain over conventional round tube frames. The bike accommodates ample tire clearance, fitting up to 30mm tires or allowing for fenders with standard 25/28mm tires. Coupled with carbon wheelsets and a proprietary carbon fork and seatpost, the R/1 is a complete package, ready to slice through the wind for countless miles.
