Designed with cross-specific geometry, the X-Ride packages together the strength of Ridley's aggressive entry-level CX frame with the handling and agility of the classic X-Fire model. Manufactured from high quality, triple-butted hydroformed aluminum and fitted with Avid BB7 disc brakes for well-modulated stopping power, this bike's full-carbon 4ZA Oryx fork offers nimble navigation, a higher bottom bracket for more pedal clearance, and top-routed cables for maneuvering through the course obstacles. An impressive build kit from SRAM delivers clean shifts and efficient power transfer, with a reliable 4ZA cockpit for the performance you need at a competitive price point.
