The Grifn RS features an optimized carbon structure and several aerodynamic optimizations.

The Grifn RS features an optimized carbon structure, making it even lighter than the Grifn. Additionally, it includes several aerodynamic optimizations, such as the aerodynamic shape of the seat tube with D-shaped seat post and the integrated diffuser on the fork.

You can easily switch from a 'road-setup' to an 'offroad-setup' with the Grifn RS. The Grifn RS excels on both regular roads and gravel paths thanks to its well-thought-out and highly appreciated all-road geometry. The frame also has various mounting points so you can choose Your personalized setup with the right bike bags and fenders. With tires up to 42 millimeters, it is suitable for any terrain. Like the Grifn, the Grifn RS also features the option to route the cable for a rear light through the top tube.

Furthermore, the integrated front derailleur clamp stands out, which is also easy to remove or can be replaced by an aero chain guide. The UDH derailleur hanger and CeramicSpeed SLT bearings make the Grifn RS the best all-road bike in the brand's range.

Features:

• Diffuser fork crown: The fork crown has an integrated diffuser to reduce drag. The airflow passes more easily through the fork crown while extra energy is added to it. The result is that the airflow passes the downtube more easily without pushing the bike back. At the same time, there is less drag in the area behind the fork and headtube.
• Lightweight carbon frame: The lighter weight of the Grifn RS is the result of an optimized carbon structure and the use of lighter and stiffer carbon fibers, resulting in a weight improvement of 140 grams compared to the Grifn.
• Optimized tire clearance: For the Grifn RS, Ridley opts for a slightly wider tire clearance compared to the Grifn. With 42 millimeters, these typically provide ample capability to handle a variety of gravel obstacles. This maintains a balance between speed and agility on one hand, and comfort and stability on the other.
• All-road geometry: The geometry of the Ridley Grifn is the superb overlap of a stiff racing and a tolerant off-road frame. The goal is a reactive and nimble riding feel while keeping stable handling on off-road terrain. The head tube angle of the Grifn is slightly flatter than the head tube angle of a road bike. Compared to a gravel bike, the head tube angle is sharper. This results in a completely new geometry, specifically designed for the all-road segment.
• Personalized setup: The frame features three mounting points on and under the downtube, as well as on the seattube, allowing you to customize the positioning of Your bottle cages in conjunction with a frame bag. Additionally, there are two mounting points on the top tube for a top tube bag or toolkit, cleverly concealed under a cover. Furthermore, specific mudguards have been designed for the Grifn, enabling you to use Your bike in all weather conditions.
• Race proven gravel: These offroad bikes are developed in collaboration with the Ridley Racing Team. As a professional cyclocross and gravel team, they bring the competition-level knowledge and experience needed to help create the best bikes.
• Cable routing for lights: Like every bike in the Grifn family, you have the option to route the cable for a rear light through the top tube. This internal cable routing for the dynamo hub is also concealed in the fork leg, eliminating the need for tape and protruding cable ties.
• Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH): The Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) is the new standard in the cycling world. Not only is this derailleur hanger compatible with all modern shifting groups, it also protects against derailleur breakage and chain drops.
