ASTR RS wins Design & Innovation Award

Since the launch of the ASTR RS, there has been widespread enthusiasm for this gravel gem. All the positive feedback has now been confirmed with the Design & Innovation Award. The jury was particularly full of praise for our engineers: “The ASTR RS sets a new benchmark in the gravel racing category, combining aero efficiency with off-road prowess."

This is not the first time we have received the Design & Innovation Award. Just two years ago, the Grifn also earned this recognition. This award is regarded as the global seal of approval and reference point for the world’s best cycling and outdoor products. International journalists and industry experts honor the best and most innovative products for the upcoming season.

The jury was clearly impressed by the ASTR RS. “The stiff, aerodynamically- optimised frame and low overall system weight ensure outstanding acceleration, while the rigid front end enables precise handling. With ample tire clearance of up to 52 mm and a progressive geometry, the ASTR RS effortlessly tackles technical sections while remaining stable and controlled on fast descents."

Modern Gravel Performance

"The narrow cockpit allows riders to adopt an aggressive, aerodynamic position, whether on rough gravel or smooth tarmac. Tailor-made for modern gravel racing, the ASTR RS masterfully balances speed and off-road capability, redefining what gravel racing bikes are capable of. For us, it’s a clear winner."

Thanks to this award, the ASTR RS will receive additional coverage in magazines such as Enduro, E-Mountainbike, Gran Fondo, and Downtown. For our engineers, this is further proof that they have made the right choices and that the ASTR RS sets the benchmark for modern gravel performance.

ASTR RS

The new standard for performance gravel

The ASTR RS is a high-end racing gravel bike that combines aerodynamics and light weight to meet all the needs of the modern gravel circuit. With a tyre clearance of 52 millimetres (1x setup), you are armed for the roughest terrain on the ASTR RS. The accompanying geometry stands for stability and speed.
