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.

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.
