The new Ridley Noah Fast is the fastest bike created by the brand

The turn for renewal comes to the Ridley Noah Fast, Ridley's aerodynamic model that, instead of opting for the current aerolight trend, has radicalized its concept towards the aerodynamic side to give the cyclist the greatest gains against the wind.

8.5 watts saved on the most aerodynamic bike from Ridley

The third generation of the Ridley Noah Fast has squeezed the reduction of resistance by maximizing the new UCI regulations that regulate this type of bicycles and give much more leeway to engineers to achieve greater gains. The result is the remarkable figure of 8.5 W saved.

As we have seen in other bike models, the aerodynamic gain focuses mainly on increasing the depth of the head tube, the first point of the bike that receives the impact of the wind, to which are also added legs with a more generous profile. However, Ridley does not stop there, and this Noah Fast also has a diagonal tube with a tremendously generous profile.

Of course, other parts of the bike are not neglected, such as the seat tube or the stays, resorting in some of these parts to asymmetric profiles that allow guiding the airflow exactly where the engineers want to achieve the least possible resistance, even in crosswinds.

Not only do the tube profiles influence the aerodynamics of this Noah Fast, but the placement of the cyclist is also taken into account. With a tendency to go increasingly forward and lower, Ridley has chosen to place the seat tube at a 76° angle, a figure that until a few years ago was only seen in time trial and triathlon models and undoubtedly responds to the demands that we often read from many reputable biomechanics.

The cockpit, of course, also contributes to the aerodynamic improvements. Apart from the point-to-point integration of its cables, something already mandatory in all bikes that are launched, the head tube has a recess that allows aligning the stem with the horizontal tube, also in the style of time trial bikes, which further improves penetration. In addition, Ridley opts for a super narrow handlebar of just 36 mm measured between the grip area of the climbers with the tips open in a slight flare to improve control when the cyclist grabs the curve.

A bike that the riders of one of the most combative teams in the peloton, such as the members of Uno-X Mobility with cyclists of the caliber of Magnus Cort, the veteran Alexander Kristoff, or the Johannessen brothers, will try to squeeze during the 2025 season.

As is customary with Ridley, we can configure the Noah Fast to our liking on their website, with prices starting from the assembly with Shimano Ultegra Di2 starting at €7,200, up to the one equipped with SRAM Red AXS with a power meter that amounts to €12,254.
