Ridley Fenix SL Ultegra

£2299.99

The Fenix SL is the evolution of the bike that Ridley designed to take on the cobbled Classics of the company’s Belgian homeland. On the road it feels monumentally solid; you can’t detect even the slightest flex under hard sprinting and all-out attacks on climbs.

Yes, it’s stiff, but that doesn’t come at the detriment of comfort – there isn’t a hint of tiring vibration coming through to the cockpit or saddle from 4ZA, Ridley’s component partner.

Ridley has created a very fine bike at an attractive price. Its purposeful ride rewards powerful riders and this particular Fenix is better suited to bigger-stature pilots.
