Details of the Ridley ASTR RS

Aerodynamically optimized tube shapes and a fork with an integrated diffuser - developed based on extensive research into aerodynamics and weight optimization - provide additional efficiency. This combination noticeably reduces drag and supports high speeds even on long, fast stretches.

The specially tuned geometry provides a high degree of safety and control at speed. A longer wheelbase, a flatter steering angle, and a lower bottom bracket ensure stability and confident handling on challenging terrain.

Furthermore, the well-thought-out overall design helps riders efficiently utilize their energy reserves. Improved aerodynamics, increased comfort, lower rolling resistance thanks to wider tires, and the bike’s low overall weight offer clear advantages during the race. This leaves more energy for decisive moments - especially for the final stretch.

The ASTR RS is therefore the ideal choice for ambitious riders who rely on maximum performance, efficiency, and modern technology in gravel racing.
