Reviews

New bike, smooth ride. Poor quality handle bar tape

"The bike itself looks pretty sharp and after thw first ride I can say that it rides great, it feels pretty stiff, really responsive and the shifting is pretty smooth. The only down side is that the handle bar tape peeled off pretty bad after the first ride. It needs to be completely replaced. It is a real shame since it demerits the product as a whole. That is not what you expect on a new brand bike."

Alonso L. (3/5)

This bike has all the

"This bike has all the bells and whistles at a great price. The groupset is smooth and I can't see myself going back to the cable shifters again. The bikes color is awesome when the sun hits it. Yes the welds aren't pretty but everything else is. I went from a Trek Domane and this thing is just as comfortable if not a little more comfortable on the longer ride. Don't hesitate, get one before they are gone."

Joshua K. (5/5)

Bang for the buck 100%

"I have been out of the road scene for 10 years and this was my first purchase to upgrade my old bike. I am very happy with this purchase. The Rival components are 100% awesome and very easy and precise to use. I have zero regrets on this purchase as the frame is beautiful. Tires are 25c and Alex rims will be upgraded in the near future. My only complaint is the Sram Force model of this bike was not available in my size for purchase."

Alberto (5/5)

Excelllent bike from VAAST

"Awesome bike! The riding position balances racing and endurance perfectly. Electronic shifting is smooth and precise, and the magnesium frame is lighter and more comfortable than aluminum. Highly recommend!"

Alban (5/5)

Definitely recommend

"VAAST R/1 Rival AXS. Arrived quickly. Final assembly was easy. XL is a good fit for 6' 1" and 89cm inseam measured crotch to floor. Ride is very smooth. Electronic shifting is awesome. 700 x 32 gravel tires filter fine in XL frame."

Q&A

6'2" tall and have a caledonia size 58,what size R-1 do you recommend for a winter bike
Based on your current fit on a Caledonia size 58, we recommend starting with the Large (L) Vaast R-1. Its geometry aligns closely with the Caledonia 58, offering a comparable fit. If possible, we suggest test-riding the bike to confirm the fit and ensure it meets your needs for winter riding. You can always make adjustments, such as raising the handlebars or tweaking the stem, for added comfort in cold-weather conditions. If you find the Large feels cramped, the Extra Large (XL) may be a better option for a roomier fit. Let us know if you have any further questions!
