Check out the brand new Ridley_Bikes prototype road bike that is being ridden by lotto_dstny's maximvangils at the dauphine. Could this be Ridley's version of 'one bike to rule them all'? cycling
There’s a new Ridley road bike in the works, likely to be released in the next few weeks, and it’s currently being ridden by Lotto Dstny’s Maxim Van Gils in the Critérium du Dauphiné.
Ridley currently has three high-end road bikes in its range: the lightweight Helium, the endurance-focused Fenix, and the aero Noah. The bike that Van Gils is riding is none of these – at least, none of the current incarnations – and rather than a usual UCI approval sticker, it has a sticker that clearly labels it ‘prototype’... so, yeah, it's new.
The seat tube is cutaway around the leading edge of the rear wheel while the seat post is held in place by a wedge-type system with the bolt shrouded by a rubber cover. Like the seat tube, the seatpost is aero-section. There are certainly similarities but the current Noah has an integrated fork crown, for example, and aero shaping at the back of the seat tube that extends right up to the seatstay junction. Lotto Dstny’s bike doesn’t have these features. We fully expect Ridley to say that the bike has been designed with aerodynamics in mind – what top-level race bike hasn’t been these days? – but not to the same extent as the Noah.
