The Model A/1 Gravel with 700c wheels has been designed for riders who want the perfect blend of gravel capability without giving up anything on paved road group rides or their daily commute. The 700c wheel size is good for faster rolling speed both on and off the tarmac. The geometry of the A/1 enables the bike to be both a comfortable gravel grinder and an efficient and fast grand tourer. Well-placed braze-on mounts make it easy to add on racks and fenders in front or in back for safe and dry commutes.
The A/1 Gravel is perfect for riders who enjoy a wide range of riding and does not want to limit themselves to one category or bike capability, keeping their options VAAST.
LIGHTER. STRONGER. PROFOUNDLY BETTER.
VAAST Bikes are the first to use ALLITE SUPER MAGNESIUM. This high-strength alloy features excellent shock absorption properties, weighs 33% less than Aluminum and 50% less than Titanium by volume, and is significantly stronger than both. Through the exclusive use of this eco-friendly metal, VAAST Bikes have achieved a ride feel like no other.
V-Fit
VAAST Bikes redefined V-Fit parameters account for more than just fitting your body type and measurements. They create a riding posture that is more attuned to an enhanced feel, quicker reflexes and steer control, and responsive climbing ability. A more upright riding position suits the rider who isn’t hell-bent on a podium finish. Our V-Fit helps balance your physical ability to control actions in the cockpit, resulting in a more confident approach to riding different surfaces. Ultimately, combining V-Fit with the exclusive lighter, stiffer, and more shock-absorbent Super Magnesium frames delivers a remarkably comfortable fit and feel in a performance bike. The longer your body feels good, the farther you can extend your ride, and, ultimately, the more adventure you can pack into each day.
