UPTOWN. DOWNTOWN. OUT-OF-TOWN
AND BACK AGAIN.

THE URBAN MODEL U/1

The Urban Model U/1 exists to get you anywhere a paved route will allow you to go on a daily basis in a surprisingly comfortable way, and then some. Everything has been intelligently considered—weight reduction, more durable componentry, variable wheel size compliance, corrosion-proof inner and outer tube coating, and, most importantly, redefined superior fit and feel. All of these advantages carefully engineered into one bike provide for a ride feel that will inspire you to skip the ride-share app and go it on two wheels, all day, every day.

A SPORT PERFORMANCE POSTURE

Ride better. Ride longer. Adventure farther.

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.

Bike Technology

LIGHTER. STRONGER. PROFOUNDLY BETTER.

VAAST Bikes® are the first to use ALLITE® SUPER MAGNESIUM™. This high-strength alloy features excellent shock absorption properties, weighs 33% less than Aluminum and 50% less than Titanium by volume, and is significantly stronger than both. Through the exclusive use of this eco-friendly metal, we have achieved a ride feel like no other.

  • Efficient power transfer makes for easier climbing.
  • Shock absorption properties neutralize much of the road buzz.
  • Frame weight rivaled only by Carbon Fiber.
  • PEO surface treatment technology for added corrosion and wear resistance.
