Ridley
ASTR RS
Info
The ASTR RS is a performance gravel bike developed for modern gravel racing. Recently, these races have become increasingly rough, while riders are going faster than ever, leading to new demands on the bike.
The Astr RS uses aero-optimized tubing and a diffusor fork based on our Falcn RS aero-to-weight study. Additionally, the Astr RS has a confidence-inspiring geometry with a high degree of stability at high speed (longer wheelbase, slacker head angle, deeper BB). The large tire clearance allows fitting the tires required to handle rougher courses.
Riders need to be able to conserve more energy during the race: optimized aero, more comfort, less rolling resistance due to the wider tires, and better climbing performance due to the low weight mean racers will go into the final with more energy in the tank than their adversaries.

PERFORMANCE GEOMETRY
Modern performance geometry demands more stability due to increasingly rough terrain combined with higher speeds. A 71.5-degree headtube angle ensures you have faster handling. The Astr family features a steeper seat tube (74 degrees), improving climbing performance and power transfer.
TIRE CLEARENCE
The Astr family has a tyre clearance of 52 millimetres on a 1x setup and 47 millimetres on a 2x setup. Our product developers took this decision because the race terrain is getting rougher and riders feel the need to be armed for this. With this, we confirm our role as a trendsetter in the gravel segment.
UDH HANGER
The universal derailleur hanger (UDH) is the new standard in the cycling world. Not only is this derailleur hanger compatible with all modern shifting groups, it also protects against derailleur breakage and chain drops. In mountain biking, UDH has long been very common, and Ridley is bringing the technology to other segments as well.
DIFFUSER FORK CROWN
The fork crown has an integrated diffuser to reduce drag. The airflow passes more easily through fork crown while extra energy is added to it. The result is that the airflow passes the downtube more easily without pushing the bike back. At the same time there is less drag in the area behind the fork and headtube.
Less resistance, more speed!
RIDLEY ELITE CARBON
The RS in Astr RS stands for 'Racing Sport'. This bike has one goal, to be the best in its class! The heart of the Astr RS is the Elite series carbon frame. With a weight of only 890 grams in size medium, the frame is designed to be as light as possible without sacrificing aerodynamics. This is achieved through the use of sleek tube profiles and a carbon lay-up focused on weight reduction.
