Ridley Astr RS 2027

The Ridley Astr RS is the ultimate, uncompromising carbon gravel race bike, developed specifically to set the new standard in modern, ultra-fast gravel races and gruelling off-road classics where every second and every watt counts.

As the true aerodynamic speed monster for unpaved terrain within the Ridley family, this machine proves that maximum drag reduction, stability and aggressive race handling go perfectly hand in hand to generate pure speed on gravel. The sleek frame is made from high-quality Ultra HM carbon (with a frame weight of just 890 grams) and combines advanced, aero-optimised tube shapes with an innovative diffuser fork based on the renowned Falcn RS aero-to-weight study.

Thanks to a progressive 'race' gravel geometry, the bike carves through corners with surgical precision, while the lowered bottom bracket, slacker head angle and longer wheelbase provide sublime stability at extremely high speeds on loose surfaces or during a hectic finale. Whether you are riding solo in the breakaway through the scorching heat of Unbound Gravel, setting the pace over rough sections or simply want to put the pressure on your riding mates on the forest trails, the Astr RS builds on Ridley's rich cyclocross and gravel history and is built purely to outwit the wind, absorb vibrations and convert watts into pure forward speed.

The refined tube shapes are aerodynamically optimised without weighing a single gram too much. Combined with groundbreaking tyre clearance of up to 52 mm with a 1x setup (or 47 mm with a front derailleur), a universal derailleur hanger (UDH), and the aerodynamic integration of the specially designed, narrow Forza Nimbus Pro Carbon cockpit, you have a technological masterpiece that is ready to defy the laws of physics and dominate gravel riding for good.
