The Fenix is a gateway bike for long-distance riders and high-level competitors. A high-modulus carbon fibre frame stands up to the cobblestone climbs and wild weather of northern Europe. For everyday North American riders, it translates into a deliciously stiff, yet comfortable, frame. Ridley relies on the time-tested strength of sharp-edged, diamond-shaped tubes to add strength to the tube profile. The Fenix's strength and rigidity are balanced with flattened seat stays so you're not left vibrating at the end of a long ride. A wide top tube flows into an oversized head tube, creating a seamless transition between comfort and stiffness – a give and take that continues throughout your ride. The Fenix C50 features a smooth and efficient Shimano 105, 11-speed drivetrain with multiple 4ZA components to keep the ride lively.
- 24-ton high modulus unidirectional carbon fibre packs lots of strength into a lightweight frame
- Flat-sectioned seat stays add comfort to the rigid frame, dissipating and absorbing road vibration
- Diamond tube-shaping has proven strength with high impact resistance, making a very strong, very stiff head, top and down tube
- Oversized tapered head tube increases front end stiffness and steering precision
- 4ZA Stratos saddle, seatpost, stem and handlebars are race-ready
- Shimano 105 R7000 11-speed drivetrain allows smooth power transfer from rider to road
- Shimano RS510 crankset with 50/34 chainrings is at home climbing or sprinting
- Asymmetric chainstay achieves superior bottom bracket and chainstay stiffness without compromising crankset interference
- Narrow seatstays improves comfort by soaking up vibrations on rough roads
- Speed is handled by 4ZA brakes
- Cable routing is clean, aero and compatible with mechanical and electronic shifting. Mechanical cable stopper can be removed for conversion to electronic shifting
- 4ZA RC31 wheels offers all-around performance
- Pedals sold separately
- 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 its frame construction, race technology, tube profiles, and its own branded component line, 4ZA
