Ridley Bikes – Belgian Bicycle Enthusiasm
Inspired by his brothers and the great Eddy Merckx, born in a country where children can ride their bicycles before taking their first steps, and where every Sunday there is at least one cycling race speeding through Flanders, Jochim Aerts dreamed of making a name for himself in the world of cycling. Dissatisfied with the bikes available, Aerts discovered his talent for craftsmanship and, after a few years as a painter, welder, frame builder and supplier to various Belgian bicycle shops, founded his own brand in 1997: Ridley Bikes.
The inventors of the conical head tube set new standards in the bicycle industry and, as sponsors, collected world championship titles in cyclocross and road cycling as well as stage victories and green jerseys in the Tour de France. Outstanding cycling pros such as Caleb Ewan and John Degenkolb or ten-time world champion and two-time Olympic champion Marianne Vos love the masterfully aerodynamic and meticulously individually designed Ridley bikes.
The Road Bike as an All-Round Talent – Ridley Fenix
The Fenix offers a perfect blend of performance, weight and comfort that convinces both professional and amateur cyclists. It is suitable for the home after-work lap, the pavement classic in Flanders or the next cycling marathon. The Endurance racing bike has a diamond-shaped tube set, which ensures the frame is extremely rigid and impact-resistant. The large tyre clearance up to 30mm and the lowered seat stay make the Ridley Fenix the perfect all-rounder to sit comfortably in the saddle all day and enjoy the grandiose propulsion.
Gravel, Cyclocross and Co. – When the Road off the Road Calls - Kanzo & X-Ride
If you love to play in the mud, fly down wild trails and groovy downhills in the woods, or speed over gravel roads, you'll love the Ridley Kanzo and X-Ride.
If you like adventure and want to explore new paths, the Kanzo Adventure is your first choice. Numerous mounting points for bottle holders, luggage racks and mudguards turn this all-rounder easily into an agile bikepacking machine. From asphalt to gravel, cross-country or through really rough terrain: the stiff and comfortable Gravelbike can be ridden perfectly everywhere. The Kanzo Speed is the ideal bike for anyone looking for a road bike and gravel bike in one. The sporty carbon frame provides stiffness and good propulsion, especially on long, straight sections, and thanks to the flat-mount disc brakes, you'll always have your Kanzo Speed under control, even off-road.
Do you want to go even faster on cyclocross courses and be catapulted forward with every kick? Then the Ridley X-Ride is your reactive ally. Equipped with a cyclocross geometry designed for versatility and clever details like internal cable routing, it's an ideal bike for both CX racing and on your trip to work.
