The Ridley Falcn 105 2x12 is a versatile performance road bike that combines low weight, aerodynamic efficiency and responsive handling. Inspired by the high-end Falcn RS, it shares the same modern racing geometry and many of its aerodynamic technologies. With a premium carbon frame, reliable mechanical Shimano 105 2x12 shifting and tire clearance of up to 34 mm, the Falcn is an excellent choice for fast training sessions, challenging climbs and ambitious road racing.
The Falcn follows Ridley's Aero-to-Weight philosophy, combining low weight and aerodynamic efficiency to deliver outstanding performance across different types of terrain.
Its Essential Series carbon frame weighs approximately 990 grams in size M (unpainted). At the same time, aerodynamically optimized tube profiles provide impressive aerodynamic performance. This combination allows riders to benefit from an efficient frame design on fast flat sections as well as demanding climbs.
The Ridley Falcn shares its racing geometry with the Falcn RS. This geometry has been developed specifically for speed, stability and responsive handling. The relatively short head tube allows riders to adopt an aggressive aerodynamic position, while the lower bottom bracket contributes to stability and control.
Short chainstays support agile acceleration and quick changes of direction. As a result, the Falcn performs confidently on winding roads, fast group rides and technical descents.
The mechanical Shimano 105 2x12 drivetrain delivers precise gear changes, reliable performance and versatile gearing for a wide range of riding conditions.
A Shimano 105 crankset with 50/34-tooth chainrings is paired with a Shimano 105 11-34 cassette. This combination provides a wide gear range suitable for fast flat roads as well as longer and steeper climbs.
The mechanical drivetrain offers direct shifting feedback and proven Shimano technology. Hydraulic disc brakes provide dependable stopping power and precise modulation in different weather conditions.
The Ridley Falcn 105 is equipped with Shimano RX180 tubeless-ready wheels, providing a dependable platform for sporty training rides and versatile road cycling.
The bike comes fitted with 30 mm Vittoria Zaffiro EVO V tires. These offer a balanced combination of comfort, grip and reliable rolling performance.
With maximum tire clearance of 34 mm, the Falcn also allows riders to fit wider road tires. This provides additional flexibility for different road conditions and improved comfort on rough pavement or cobblestone sections.
One of the Falcn's distinctive technical features is its aerodynamically optimized carbon fork with an integrated diffuser in the fork crown. This design improves airflow between the fork and down tube, helping to reduce aerodynamic drag.
The result is more efficient airflow that complements the Falcn's performance-focused design and provides advantages at higher speeds.
The Falcn features a 4ZA Stratos Pro handlebar and Forza Stratos Pro stem with semi-integrated cable routing. This creates a clean front end that integrates naturally with the aerodynamic frame design.
A 27.2 mm Forza Cirrus carbon-alloy seatpost and Selle Italia Model A saddle complete the component package.
The frame also features a Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH), making replacement hangers easier to source and highlighting the Falcn's modern construction.
The Ridley Falcn 105 2x12 is designed for performance-oriented road cyclists looking for a lightweight, aerodynamic and versatile carbon bike. Whether tackling fast training rides, long mountain stages, challenging amateur races or dynamic group rides, the Falcn delivers an excellent combination of racing DNA, modern technology and dependable components.
