Information

Highly versatile drop bar bikes for transport to training and everything in between.

Ridgeback road bikes are influenced by frame geometries that have been ridden and raced in a very similar layout for over fifty years. Today we have better materials in wider range of sizes however it's hard to beat the proven angles of a classic race bike. Too steep at the front and fast descents can be nerve-wracking. Get the seat angle wrong and rider position can easily be thrown out of balance.

Race speed and endurance comfort

Constructed to a geometry designed for comfortable power output and confident handling a Ridgeback road bike has deep drop brakes and is built with generous clearance for 28c tyres. Seat stay rack mounts make load carrying easy and German made SKS mudguards feature Secu-clip safety stays.

An aluminium or Reynolds steel frame and carbon fork combine to create a beautifully balanced bike for a rewarding ride whatever the distance. A Shimano compact double transmission, robust wheelset and Continental tyres complete the package.

Fast, light and responsive, a Ridgeback road bike ensures there's always great riding to be enjoyed.
