Ridley Fenix SL Disc Ultegra Road Bike

Ridley Fenix SL Disc Ultegra Road Bike

The Fenix SL Disc is a real endurance bicycle. It shines on all types of roads from uphill, flats and downhills to super challenging cobbles so you always enjoy your ride - anywhere the road takes you!

The Fenix SL Disc shares many qualities of our top model, the Fenix SLiC endurance bicycle – albeit a tiny bit heavier. It incorporates the diamond-shaped down tube which gives extra stiffness and rigidity to this all-round bike.

It also has lowered, finer seat stays which considerably increases its comfort level. Its responsiveness is also on point thanks to its wide bottom bracket and the stiff head tube. In a nutshell, it's the best endurance bicycle for someone looking for performance that combines impressive power with luxurious comfort.

Highlights:

Shimano Ultegra:
The new ULTEGRA R8000 series has been “tested by the pros” because it is a direct result of our DURA-ACE group. For parts of a road bike, comfortable braking and shifting during a whole day of cycling is essential

Ridley Essential Carbon:
The Essential Series of Ridley bikes uses exceptional carbon by Toray, taking key features of the Elite Series to a more affordable level. Fenix Tubing The Fenix has a unique tube profile. When you slice the frame lengthwise in half, you'll see a clear distinction between 'comfort' and 'stiffness'.The oversized headset provides extra stiffness and stability which is instantly felt when accelerating or in its pinpoint handling.

The massive downtube increases stiffness while adding strength. Its BB86 bottom bracket and asymmetrical chainstay deliver max power transfer. The slightly curved top tube becomes narrower and rounder when moving towards the seat tube. Like a leaf spring, it helps absorb bumps in the road.

The 27.2mm seatpost filters out vibrations, along with slim, oval-shaped seat stays which provide the perfect balance between stiffness and comfort The rear end of a bike is crucial for both adding comfort and maximizing power transfer. 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. As for winning watts, the shape of the seatstays is oval with the widest side on the horizontal axis. This is key to maximizing power transfer. By placing this wide side horizontally, every watt produced is converted into speed, without losing power on the way to the rear wheel.
