What kind of bike can hang in on club rides, gravel grind and race cyclocross all in one weekend? Until now, nothing, but that's changed with the arrival of the X-Trail. With an accessible yet high-performing aluminum frame, it's a gateway into the "ride anything" experience of the X-Trail bikes. The versatile geometry combines the nimbleness of a cyclocross ride with the high-speed stability and stiffness of a road bike. Massive clearance allows up to 38C tires to hammer the cyclocross circuit or a group ride by swapping out tires or wheels. Consistent, reliable Shimano Tiagra gruppo punches above its weight. Tektro Lyra disc brakes provide confident stopping and a host of other smart details: asymmetric rear triangle, hidden fender mounts, scuff guard on the fork make it a winner.
- Triple butted hydroformed aluminum frame is durable and represents huge value
- Lowered bottom bracket provides high speed stability
- Rear triangle design features uniquely shaped individual tubes for maximum stiffness and a comfortable degree of flex
- Bridgeless seat stay design improves tire clearance and adds a degree of shock absorption
- Oversized tapered head tube increases front end stiffness and steering precision
- Carbon fibre fork with aluminum steerer tube provides comfort and performance while keeping the weight low
- 10-speed Shimano Tiagra gruppo yields precise shifting in a budget-conscious package
- Tektro Lyra mechanical disc brakes provide power and modulation in any weather
- Compact 50/34 crank and 11-32t cassette for a versatile gear range
- Front thru-axle boosts stiffness
- 36C Clement X'Plor MSO tires are stable yet efficient
- Hidden fender mounts add touring versatility
- Bikes are covered by MEC's Rocksolid Guarantee and Bike Service Agreement. You can bring your bike to any MEC bike shop for free adjustments and minor maintenance for a year after purchase
- Ridley was born in Flanders, Belgium, a region infamous for harsh cycling conditions. Against this backdrop Ridley engineers, tests, and refines their frame construction, race technology, tube profiles, and their own branded component line, 4ZA
