Although gravel bikes have only just arrived, their popularity continues to grow. Is there a better combination than adventure and cycling? It seems to us not. Ridley makes a bike that masterfully combines these two aspects. Coincidence? We think not. With a gravel bike you can ride on any terrain, at your own pace. But why the name "Kanzo"?
Kanzo (or canzo) is a word that goes back to the times of the troubadours, who were the singers and poets of the Middle Ages. People who traveled a lot and lived all kinds of adventures to later turn them into stories about knights, or even love stories. Returning to their village, they narrated their adventures to the inhabitants, and used three genres to tell their stories. The most used was the «Kanzo/Canzo». In doing so, they moved entire communities, the people hanging on every word the troubadours said to them.
Like the troubadours, we at Ridley want to encourage cyclists to get out on their bikes. To discover new places or to rediscover others that they already thought they knew.
The first step in creating the Kanzo Fast was to combine the aerodynamic and power characteristics of the Noah Fast Disc with the gravel design of our Kanzo. Ridley engineers then spent hours in the wind tunnel and on gravel trails to further test and develop it. The result was the perfect aero gravel bike for winning gravel races! Its geometry and aero handlebars are designed with gravel terrain in mind.
No gravel bike is as responsive as the Kanzo Fast. It combines NACA profiles with a very stiff bottom bracket to propel you forward with every pedal stroke.
To ensure optimal comfort, the saddle stays are set very low and use a shock-absorbing D-post. Aerodynamic and comfortable!
