What do you think of the bike? Let us know 👇
You are gonna get roasted by Dr Ollie!! Wax chain checking!! 😭🤣
Awful.. They need a Y style bar like the s5 or y1rs to make this look good.. Right now looks Incomplete and bad. Who signed that off.. 😅
This would be high on my list if my Cannondale broke. The steep seat angle will find its way to a lot of new bikes.
I believe it would be rather unfair to claim Ridley is going Noah fast with this bike.
Silly puns aside, I think GCN missed the most important feature of this frame, which is the more vertical seat tube, which almost puts it to TT standards. But the tyre clearance was well emphasized, of course…
"Oh yes. That sounds like a freehub." 😂
The stem looks unfinished and jarring!
They tried too hard!
music over the freehub sound check ………… no checking to see if chain wax used
Shiiiii thsts gnarly!!! Needs a Gold crank!!
Crap looking bike 👎🙈
Nice wires old school like 2018 !!
😮
Blocky look, dropped seat stays, bladed fork, and shorted headtube.. truly an adventurous and novel design 🫠
You forgot to check if the chain was waxed. Ollie will hound you for that.
Sorry very ugly.
Nice hair cut mate
The designers of this frame are obviously religious(ly fanatic) followers of Rule #45 and slammed the stem halfway down the head tube. And the next marketing person who tells mere mortals (aka all those who have to buy their bikes themselves) I should buy a bike because it saves X Watts at 50 kph (1:49), a speed said mere mortals only reach on rare occasions, this person shall be locked up in a deep, dark dungeon for eternity.
It's me or is it very similar to the Dare
What powermeter are they using ?
Dan, Oil or Wax Chain Check please??
Ollie’s work in right hands), and I still can’t forget a green-ish Canyon <3
Nicely delivered Dan.
Thanks for the video. This bike looks cool but it wouldn't be my first choice.
ridley really ugly, especially the chimney area, heavy as an anvil.
süßes Rennrädchen!
All aero gains lost by exposed cables lol. Also those wheels are junk.
Bianchi has lost its elegance with Oltre, and now Ridley. Even if it could be more aerodynamic, it’s not at all beautiful like the previous generation.
Dan forgot the wax patrol check again!
Apparently, aero still has its price — in kg. 😅
If your going to use the latest super aero road bike like this Ridley then atleast use an aero outer chainring to go with it
More Dan please.
Great bike, but why not aero water bottles ?
Didn't comment on the super steep seat tube angle… OBR
Dan, you forgot to say "crank length audit"! Don't let it die.
Needs an aero crankset 🤣
You know something is awfully wrong when the pros opt to use a different stem as opposed to the ugly one that comes stock.
I really like that Full Speed Ahead crank. Looks pretty sweet to me… I do wonder how it'd look buffed back to a shine or even a more satined bead blasting.
