Review: Vaast A/1 Allroad - tyres could be better, but you get a lovely damped ride feel from the magnesium frame… cycling VAASTbikes
Buy if...best gravel bikes
I spent a couple of months putting the Vaast A/1 Allroad Apex 700 through its paces across a variety of surfaces and settings, including tarmac, open gravel roads and technical singletrack in an effort to establish whether or not it has the credentials to challenge the segment's best.The Vaast’s visual package is rather unobtrusive but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, especially considering the overwhelming, bright-hued colourways currently doing the rounds.
As a material, magnesium is not the easiest material to work with owing to the difficulties pertaining to welding, not to mention corrosion but Vaast reckons it's managed to iron out all concerns thanks to its partnership with, a specialist in magnesium fabrication.
Closer examination of the wheels revealed no imperfections along the rim bed or any sharp sections in the rim tape - even the tyres were without any contaminants or debris . This left me with no other option but to ditch the stock wheel/tyre set-up for an already-set-up tubeless Parcours Alta wheelset.
