[BIKEfun] 2012 Ridley Noah FB F-Splitfork

Ridley

<p>Described as "the fastest bike in the world," Ridley backs up their modest claim with weight-cutting innovations, wind-cheating tricks, and seconds-shaving technology. Making the difference between a podium finish and being left in the pack, the split in the Ridley F-fork channels air away from the rotating wheels and spokes to diminish turbulence, reducing drag by an estimated 7.4%. To make it easier for the air to flow around the bike's profile, Ridley has designed droplet-shaped tubes with strategically placed textured surfaces to keep the wind travelling close where the angles are severe. A clean, aero profile is enhanced with internal cable routing, and don't be shy about dropping your elbows low to further advance the Noah's anti-drag mission. When paired with the Noah's race-ready, ultra-light full carbon frame, Fulcrum's agile Racing Quattro wheelset makes manoeuvring the bike effortless and instantaneous.</p><ul><li>50-40-30 ton high-modulus unidirectional carbon frame is built from the ground up, using a blend of differing strength carbon fibres, from 50 to 30-ton high-modulus unidirectional fibres. A higher ton rating means stronger carbon, and stronger carbon means a stiffer and lighter frame</li><li>F-surface technology strategically places textured surfacing in areas where the air slips off the frame, to smooth overall airflow and reduce drag by approximately 4.1%</li><li>Droplet shaped, aero-optimizing tubes to make it easier for the airstream to closely follow the profile of the bike</li><li>Shimano Ultegra 11 speed drivetrain delivers smooth power transfer from rider to road to make an exceptionally efficient ride</li><li>Splits in the F-split fork act as aerofoils and help to pull air away from the wheels (and spokes) reducing turbulence and drag</li><li>Integrated seat mast increases stiffness, reduces weight, and adds to the bike's aero profile</li><li>Reinforced chainstays, top tube junctions, and seat mast to increase strength and power transfer</li><li>Oversized tapered headtube increases the contact area of the lower headset bearing to add rigidity and dissipate vibrations</li><li>Pressfit 30 bottom bracket allows the use of wider down tube and bottom bracket shell, providing maximum power output</li><li>RotoR 3DF Semi-Compact Cranks are designed to be extremely stiff and lightweight; a necessary combination for both sprinting and climbing</li><li>Racing Quattro wheelset is entirely hand-assembled by a specialized Fulcrum technician, with every nuance double checked via electronic instrumentation</li><li>Internal cable routing is clean, aero, and compatible with mechanical and electronic shifting. Mechanical cable stopper can be removed for conversion to electronic shifting</li><li>Pedals sold separately</li><li>Bikes are covered by MEC's Rocksolid Guarantee and Bike Service Agreement. You can bring your bike to any MEC Bike Shop for free adjustments and minor maintenance for a year after purchase</li><li>Ridley was born in Flanders, Belgium, a region infamous for harsh cycling conditions. Against this backdrop Ridley engineers, tests, and refines their frame construction, race technology, tube profiles, and its own branded component line, 4ZA</li></ul>

Ridley Noah Ultegra Bicycle - Unisex

Mechanical disc brakes are more powerful than rim brakes, but less powerful than hydraulic brakes.

The hub affects a bike’s rolling efficiency. Internally geared hubs require significantly less maintenance.

Cassettes with a smaller range allow you to go faster; a bigger range makes climbing hills easier.
