Gravel is the new kid on the block and is rapidly growing in popularity. Is there a better combination than "exploring" and "cycling"? Ridley thinks not. Ridley makes a bike that makes a great mix out of it. A coincidence? Not in their opinion. With a gravel bike, you can tackle any terrain at your own pace. But why the name "Kanzo"?

Kanzo, or canzo, is a term that goes back to the times of the troubadours - singers and poets in the Middle Ages. These were people who travelled a lot and had all kinds of adventures, then turned them into stories about knights and even love stories. After returning to their village, they told the inhabitants about their adventures. There were three genres for this. The most common was "Kanzo/Canzo". In this way, the troubadours moved whole communities, people hung on their lips.

Just like the troubadours, they want to inspire their Ridley riders to get out and ride their bikes. To discover new places or rediscover supposedly familiar places.

The Kanzo C is the gravel bike from Ridley that meets the demands of the continuously growing gravel market. Tire clearance (700 x 47 mm) future-proofs this frame. For an extreme adventure feel, you can even raise the bike up to 50 mm by using the 650B wheels and tires. Additional bottle mounts on the fork, top tube as well as down tube give you the flexibility you need to carry bottles while stowing all the rest of your luggage in the bike panniers. Mounting a rack or fender easily transforms this bike into a true bikepacking machine.

Flex zones in the rear stays provide added comfort by filtering vibrations from various surfaces you encounter on your adventures. All cables run internally through the frame to prevent dirt and water from affecting shifting performance.
