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.
A beast. That's what the Kanzo Fast is. A competition-ready gravel bike that is fully aerodynamically optimized. Some of the Noah Fast's features are clear to see. The F-Tubing technology (tube shape) and F-Steerer technology (cable integration) are distinctive and world renowned.
The Kanzo Fast has a true gravel geometry with a higher stack and shorter reach, but its handlebars are also distinctive. An aerodynamic handlebar with clear gravel impact (short drop and reach and 16° flare). The bike is designed to win races on dirt roads.
