The Noah features the same geometry and characteristics as the Noah Fast.

This pure aero bike builds on the success of its predecessors, on which icons like Robbie McEwen, André Greipel, and Caleb Ewan won tour stages. One difference is the carbon lay-up, as well as the cockpit integration. The rider can equip the Noah with a classic handlebar/stem combination or the Cirrus Pro integrated cockpit.

In addition to electronic shifting, mechanical shifting is also still possible on this bike.

The new Noah has been fully developed based on the latest UCI regulations regarding tube shapes and profiles. The main difference is the use of the 8:1 rule, which allows tubes to be eight times longer than their width, whereas previously it was 3:1. The result is long, narrow profiles in the fork and seat stays.

The Noah brings all the best features of the Noah Fast to a more accessible price point. The carbon lay-up has been slightly adjusted, but the winning geometry remains intact. The carbon used is manufactured by the world market leader: Toray. The Japanese manufacturer is a pioneer in every aspect of carbon development and a supplier to absolute world-class brands in various industries. For the Essential Series, two types of carbon are used: 24T and 30T. The higher the tonnage, the higher the tensile strength and the fewer layers are needed to achieve the desired stiffness. That’s why a bike from the Essential Series is slightly heavier than its sibling from the Elite Series.

Features:

• Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH): This derailleur hanger is compatible with all modern shifting groups and protects against derailleur breakage and chain drops. Ridley is bringing this technology to segments beyond mountain biking.
• Progressive racing geometry: A steeper seat angle aligns with the changing preference of riders towards a position with an open hip angle for a better power transfer. A lowered bottom bracket compensates for the wider tires used in modern cycling. The lower head tube with integrated cockpit allows the rider to have a more aggressive aero position, resulting in a reduced frontal area.
• Pushing the limits of UCI regulations.
• Ridley Essential Carbon.
• Removable front derailleur clamp: This innovative clamp ensures a sleek, streamlined appearance when using a 1x setup. In collaboration with Wolf Tooth, a custom chainguide and chain catcher are developed perfectly tailored to fit these frames. A specialized cover is designed to seamlessly replace the clamp when it is not in use.
