The Ridley Grifn not only masters all roads, but also appeals to all types of riders. Whether you want to race on varying surfaces and are looking for a fast and agile bike to help you win, or you prefer to explore remote small roads and go in search of new gravel trails, the Grifn is a great ride anywhere. With the Grifn, anything is possible: commuting or riding around town as well as sharing rides with friends, touring rough roads, and long-distance adventures. The Grifn is designed entirely around your wants and needs as a rider.
The name refers to "Griffin", the English translation for the mythical griffin - an animal with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. The legendary hybrid creature symbolizes the dominion over two worlds: Heaven and Earth. With asphalt and gravel, Ridley's Grifn also masters two different elements thanks to its versatility.
So that you can take any direction with the Grifn, the bike is suitable for assembly both as a road bike and as a gravel bike and can be fully adapted to the wishes of the rider. So the Grifn is not only ideal for road and gravel rides, but also makes a perfect commuter and long-distance bike.
A completely new bike design brings new shapes and geometry. The Grifn's geometry is suitable for both asphalt and gravel and was developed according to Ridley's KOG (Kanzo Optimized Geometry) principle. This means that the geometry is optimally tuned to achieve the best handling for the riding conditions to which the bike is geared. This is reflected in some of the geometry's key parameters, such as the steering angle and bottom bracket drop.
The result is a fast, responsive yet stable and balanced all-road bike. The Grifn is a road-ready gravel bike that offers enough comfort for long rides on rough terrain, but is also aggressive enough for a Gran Fondo. This makes it the perfect companion for the long haul.
