A full-blown carbon race bike with endurance bike tendencies. Featuring feather-weight carbon fibre, the Liz combines a unique diamond-shape frame with intentional flex areas to make it responsive under power and forgiving on rough terrain. While performance is at the forefront, Ridley worked with professional female riders to produce a unique women's frame. The slightly curved toptube helps lower standover height and shorten the reach, allowing a confident position for aggressively railing crits or cruising fondos. Mavic's go-to Aksium wheels are an all-around option or trainer wheel. The low spoke count cuts wind surprisingly well for a low-profile tire, and they're no slouch on climbs. Equiped with Shimano's excellent 11-speed 105 groupset and a host of proven 4ZA aluminum components, this whip goes to the next level of sweet.

• Unidirectional carbon fibre frame blends 30 and 24 ton high modulus carbon for a frame that balances strength with lightness.
• Curved top tube allows for a lower standover height, and negates the need for short and twitchy stems.
• Tapered, reinforced headtube shaves grams, aids aggressive handling and provides excellent impact protection.
• Flattened chainstays provide shock absorption for a comfortable, buzz-free ride.
• Shimano Pressfit BB aids power transfer without adding weight.
• Full carbon fork provides excellent shock absorption and an aerodynamic profile.
• Internal routing aids aerodynamics while keeping cables silky smooth.
• Mavic Aksium wheelset with 23mm Continental Ultra Sport tires.
• Shimano 11-speed 105 groupset represents stellar value.
• Compact Shimano crankset is at home climbing or sprinting.
• Shimano BR-R561 brakes offer a smooth throw and plenty of power.
