Vaast A/1 - Frameset

The Model A/1 with 700c wheels and room for up to 42mm tires 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. And, it is just a tire swap away from exciting off-road adventuring.

The A/1 2xGRX 700c offers an approachable 2x setup and a fast rolling 700c wheelset perfect for riders with a desire for a more expansive range of gears to take them where they want to go.

The Allroad Model A/1 embodies the true notion of a more capable all roads bike. Designed for gravel, dirt, pavement, mud, and all other types of adventure “roads.” Everything has been intelligently considered and incorporated into an adventure machine you will not want to stop riding: weight reduction, more durable componentry, variable wheel size compliance, corrosion-proof inner and outer tube coating, and, most importantly, redefined superior fit and feel. These advantages have been carefully engineered into one bike to provide for a ride feel that will drive you to roam farther across every terrain.

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 feels solid but lively. Magnesium’s damping characteristics feel closer to steel and carbon than aluminum, a sweet spot that provides decent vibration reduction and a springy, direct pedaling experience."

"The A/1’s vibration-dampening prowess through the low-frequency buzz of gravel is quickly apparent. And the frame’s low weight also shines through, with the bike finding comfortable pace quickly. And with quality components it’s a capable off-road bike that’s quite a bit of fun."

"The A / 1 with its innovative frame made of magnesium offers a successful overall package, which should be aimed at sporty touring riders due to its smoothness, seating position and equipment."
