VAAST Bikes A/1 700c Road Bike – Rival AXS

Lightweight. Versatile. Unstoppable.

The VAAST A/1 Rival AXS 700c is engineered for riders who demand speed, precision, and versatility across road and gravel terrain. Featuring SRAM's Rival AXS 12-speed electronic shifting and a premium 1x setup, this bike delivers buttery-smooth gear transitions with the efficiency to tackle any adventure.

Crafted from ALLITE® SUPER MAGNESIUM™, the A/1 frame is a true game-changer—33% lighter than aluminum and 50% lighter than titanium, yet stronger and more shock-absorbing than both. This cutting-edge material provides an ultra-responsive ride, making long-distance journeys faster, smoother, and more enjoyable.

A Gravel Crusher & Road Rocket in One Bike

Designed for adaptability, the A/1 seamlessly supports both 700c and 650b wheelsets, allowing you to swap tires based on terrain. Run up to 42mm tires on 700c wheels for speed and efficiency, or switch to 650b with 50mm tires for extra stability on rougher gravel tracks.

With a relaxed endurance geometry, lowered BB drop, and a longer wheelbase, the A/1 balances comfort, stability, and agility, making it an excellent choice for everything from gravel grinding to road touring.
