Ridley Fenix SL 105 Complete Road Bike 2017

While some of us enjoy the variety of a stable full of bicycles tailored to specific rides, others of us prefer a stable of one do it all road bike such as the 2017 Ridley Fenix SL 105 Complete Road Bike. The Fenix SL may not be a dedicated climbing or crit bike, but it harnesses qualities of each combined with a touch of endurance comfort to truly embody a race worthy jack of all trades.

The flat, curved top tube is another significant redesign, serving as a leaf spring of sorts that works in conjunction with the seatstays and slimmed down seatpost. The net result is a system wide increase in vibration damping and compliance for a more forgiving ride across everything from rural North American chip seal to the stones of Belgium. The top tube and down tube feature a unique multi hexagonal shape, which is undoubtedly partially responsible for the claimed increases i...
