The R/1 Force offers super smooth, more productive eTap shifting, an integrated aero cockpit, and refined geometry, plus the unmatched qualities only a VAAST Super Magnesium frame can deliver, resulting in a seriously formidable tarmac machine.
The aero-inspired Model R/1 Road optimizes technology and design for pavement - where speed, aerodynamics, weight and agility make all the difference. With a weight and performance level other non-ferrous metal frames can’t quite achieve, the 1250g Allite Super Magnesium™ frame is meticulously crafted with progressive geometry that results in the perfect fit no matter the rider. Utilizing VAAST V-Fit parameters for comfort and control, the head tube and seat tube angles are carefully chosen to place the rider in an optimal, confident position and ensure proper trail for neutral steering geometry. While the R/1 adopts the use of VAAST’s proprietary V-Fit technology like its award-winning A/1 predecessor, unlike the A/1, the R/1 tube profiles re-imagine Super Magnesium capabilities resulting in a 30% aerodynamic performance gain over conventional round tube frames. Additionally, clearances are ample enough to fit up to 30mm tires, or to allow fenders to be fitted with conventional 25/28mm tires. All of this, combined with carbon wheel sets, and the proprietary carbon fork and seatpost, rounds up to a complete package for a ride worthy of getting lost in the wind for countless miles.
Light, aerodynamic, fast - the all new VAAST Model R/1.
The VAAST R/1 is an exciting, lively new aero-inspired Super Magnesium framed road bike. Light, fast, strong, resilient, and more sustainably made than other bikes in the category, the R/1 is the perfect utilitarian road bike with an appetite for speed, and is especially well-suited for the eco-minded cyclist.

Our 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 our 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.
