BikerumorIt's fast, it handles excellently, it's comfortable, light, and surefooted yet nimble.

Review: 2024 Ridley Astr RS mixes aero gains, ultralight weight & wide adventure tires in a versatile gravel race bike if you can afford it…
Oct 2024 · Josh Croxton
Aero frame and crazy-narrow handlebars combine with massive tyre clearance for a forward-thinking concept that seriously impresses
Super-wide tyre clearance
Excellent narrow cockpit
Competitively lightweight
Great spec
Some quality control issues
Progressive theme is somewhat let down by narrow wheels
Press fit bottom bracket might put some off
