Ridley Fenix AL Shimano 105 Road Bike 2016 Performance Exclusive. Ridley has been designing and delivering high quality bikes into the hands of racers for quite some time now. Ridley is one of the industry's best kept secrets, but the word has been getting out ever since Ridley broke the Shimano 105 plain to put more riders on their bikes. Now, Ridley's are more affordable than ever and the Performance exclusive Fenix AL is the perfect example. No compromises on technology, design, or materials just high powered performance at your fingertips. In a world gone mad for carbon, it's refreshing to see Ridley not only embrace aluminum, but leverage its best qualities to bring you a superior ride quality. The 6061 aluminum frame and carbon fork are easy to maneuver in tight spots and they stay true and fast on a wide open course. Further, we asked Ridley to go with a set of low spoke count Alex Race wheels and Continental Ultra Sport II tires for improved acceleration and grip. If you haven't ridden a modern road bike, prepared to be wowed by Shimano 105. And, even if you have, there's no denying that Shimano 105 is as capable as Dura Ace from a few years back. The 105 levers react quickly to even a light touch and move the 105 derailleurs with incredible precision. A mid compact Shimano crank and 11 speed 1132 cassette give you a wide selection of gears for the proper or preferred cadence up and down hills. Finally, 4ZA, Ridley's go to brand for durable and lightweight components, supplies the handlebar, stem, saddle, seatpost, and cork grip tape.
