Ridley Noah Disc Aero+ Ultegra Road Bike 2022

Ridley Noah Disc Aero+ Ultegra Road BikeThe Noah Disc Aero+ is an aerodynamically optimised road race bike equipped with an 11-Speed Shimano Ultegra groupset with hydraulic disc brakes. This elegant race machine features Ridley's Essential Carbon fibre frameset construction with F-Tubing that offers outstanding agility, durability and efficiency for racing across concrete or cobbled streets. It also incorporates Ridley's F-Surface Plus teardrop tube-shaping that controls airflow around the bike and significantly decreases wind drag. The fully internal cable routing also makes sure that nothing affects this bike's ability to cut through the air with utmost efficiency. With this bike you have the choice between an integrated handlebar/stem or aftermarket handlebar and stem. The first option is the most aero, but with the second you have more bike fitting options. Its lowered seatstays, and leaf-spring-shaped top tube provide comfort, while its head tube, down tube and bottom bracket are responsible for its phenomenal power transfer. Every pedal stroke is flawlessly transformed into extra speed.The Noah Disc Aero+ is the perfect bike for anyone looking for an aerodynamic and reactive racer at a more affordable price. The Noah is both a top aero bike as well as a continuously evolving technological masterpiece. Originally developed as the ultimate sprint bike for team Lotto, it has since incorporated all-round qualities. While it continues to win sprints, it now shines on the cobblestones around Roubaix as well. Thanks to advanced aero-optimized tech combined with hours of wind tunnel testing, the Noah is world class in aerodynamics. All tubing, from fork to rear triangle, have an optimized NACA profile. Cables are cleverly integrated into the handlebar/stem. While the Noah may defy wind, it remains a lightweight road bike that's surprisingly comfortable. Adding to its comfort is its uniquely designed lowered seat stays which create vertical compliance. Features: Material: Noah Aero+ Carbon Groupset: Shimano Ultegra 2x11-Speed Brakes: Hydraulic disc Cassette: Shimano Ultegra R8000, 11-32T, 11-Speed Saddle: Selle Italia XR Tyres: Vittoria Rubino Pro G2.0, 700x25c, Folding, Full Black Weight: 8.25 kgTechnologies: F-Tubing and F-Surface Plus: How can you ride faster without pedalling harder? How do objects "cut" through wind? While researching ways to improve aerodynamics, the bicycle industry began to gather knowledge from the aviation industry. From this, well-known NACA flight profiles, for designing wings and other components, began to be applied to the tubes of a bike frame. With further research, Ridley engineers found many additional potential optimisations. By shortening the end of the NACA profiles (F-Tubing), they discovered that drag was reduced. They also created a groove in the frame called the F-Surface Plus. By applying this technique, they created an airflow that flows more efficiently along the tube. F-Steerer: This uniquely shaped steerer tube allows all cables to pass through the handlebar and stem, along the flat front area of the steerer tube and down into the frame. Here the cables are completely hidden from the wind - and from your eye, leaving you with a clean looking bike that wins you speed. Comfort Seatstays: For added comfort, the seatstays are connected lower down on the seat tube. Due to this lower point of contact, both the seat tube and seatpost can more effectively filter out vibrations. In addition, the seatstays can provide more vertical flexibility. All this results in a more comfortable bike ride. Noah Fast Tubing: The Noah is Ridley's most technological bike, and it has lots to do with its tube shapes. This includes its F-Tubing, F-Wings, lowered seat stays, D-shaped seatpost and aero handlebars. In addition, the Noah Fast features many other outstanding tech advantages such as integration of fork and handlebar with the frame. Many developers thoroughly test each part for aerodynamics but forget to test the bike as a whole. Ridley's testing method, in contrast, ensures that all aspects of the bike are tested as well as the perfect integration of all essential components. In addition, the massive bottom bracket and lowered chain stays play an important role in converting every watt into maximum speed. Ridley Essential Carbon: The Essential Series directly benefits from the carbon layup knowledge gained through the creation of the Elite Series. This means that Ridley's Essential Series reaches that same level of stiffness and comfort, albeit a slight bit heavier due to the use of 24T and 30T only which require more layers compared to 50T and 60T to reach the desired stiffness.Easy AssemblyWhen you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping. Upon delivery, the assembly is simple and all necessary tools and plastic pedals are conveniently included in the box.Depending on the delivery service and destination, bikes will either be delivered in a large or a small box. Below is a guide as to how your bike will arrive: All bikes for delivery within the UK and Republic of Ireland will be delivered in a large box, except for balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes. All bikes for delivery within the EU on a standard service will be delivered in a large box. If an express delivery option is chosen, your bike will be packed into a small box. Again, the exception is balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes. All bikes for worldwide delivery outside the EU will be delivered in small boxes.This video demonstrates assembly from a SMALL BOX.This video demonstrates assembly from a LARGE BOX.Please note that due to ongoing issues in the global bike supply chain, manufacturers may substitute certain component items due to availability. In this situation, they will be replaced with the same quality or better performing parts.Buy Ridley Bikes from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
