What Our GearheadĀ® Experts Are Saying:"The ASTR puts me in a position I associate with racing: low, aerodynamic, and pointed forward. On fast gravel roads that's exactly where I want to be."Why We Like ItWe built this around the SRAM Rival XPLR groupset to match the kind of riding the ASTR's geometry demands. The 13-speed 10-46T cassette is tuned for the speed range of competitive gravel rather than the wide-range climbing demands of technical terrain, and the wireless Rival levers integrate the braking and shifting into one clean, ergonomic system. Heads up!
