Ridley Bikes

Often referred to as the brand of product innovation, Ridley was founded in 1997 by Jochim Aerts, a frame builder and painter producing frames for Belgian bicycle companies since 1990. What started as a small company quickly turned into a success, and the brand became Belgium's largest bicycle manufacturer. The Ridley name is synonymous with innovation. Ridley's first innovative development was the conical headset introduced in 2001 on the Ridley Damocles bike. This development subsequently became the standard in the bike industry. Proving this wasn't a one-off, Ridley made considerable innovations in frame weight for both carbon and aluminium frame bikes. With Elite Carbon and Hydro tubing technologies.

Elite Carbon involves carbon mixes being used based on the purpose of the bike, such as endurance, climbing affecting each frame's sturdiness and comfort etc. The carbon Ridley use is made by Toray, a Japanese producer that leads in every facet of carbon evolution.
Hydro Tubing means every Ridley's aluminium bike is made using 6061-T6 aluminium alloy. T6 aluminium is used in the aerospace industry since it is ranked very high in terms of weight, welding accuracy, and hardness. Additionally, all of the Ridley bike's tubes are tripled-butted where the thickness of the middle wall is three times thinner than at the ends. As a result, this design can minimize weight while still maximizing sturdiness. This attention to the frame, the heart of the bike, ensures Ridley bikes are light and strong in all the right places, no matter if it's a Carbon or aluminium frame. It's no surprise why Ridleys Road Bikes the Noah, Fenix and Helium are well known throughout the cycling world.

Ridley continues to astonish technologically with aerodynamic road and gravel bikes providing consumers with many leading technologies with every bike they buy.
