Stiff, TDF stage-winner, light and ridiculously quick, the Noah SL40 is anything but slow. At the heart is a meticulously crafted carbon fibre frame that slices through the air with aero shaped tubes and a cut-out fork to reduce drag. Next-level details make the difference between fast and blistering fast: dimpled frame surfaces, an F-Split fork that pulls air away from the wheel, and dropped seatstays for decreased exposure. Its Fulcrum Quattro wheels are proven all-rounders, at home rallying crit corners or establishing KOMs. Ridley equipped it with the Ultegra workhorse groupset from Shimano®. 11-speeds of Shimano beauty provide a gear range for sprint-line finishes or gradient heavy suffer-fests. Precise and powerful Ultegra brakes provide performance and nuanced modulation when you need it. And the aluminum Cirrus Pro components won't get flexy when sprinting hard and channeling your inner-Greipel.
