The Ridley Falcn Ultegra Di2 2x12 combines the low weight of a modern carbon road bike with the aerodynamic efficiency of a dedicated racing machine. Designed for cyclists who demand exceptional performance on both fast flat roads and challenging climbs, the Falcn delivers outstanding versatility. Shimano Ultegra Di2 electronic shifting, 55 mm deep DT Swiss ARC1600 Dicut carbon wheels and performance-oriented racing geometry make this model an excellent choice for ambitious road cyclists.
The Falcn follows Ridley's Aero-to-Weight philosophy. Rather than focusing exclusively on minimum weight or maximum aerodynamic efficiency, Ridley combines both characteristics in a versatile performance frame.
The premium HM carbon frame from Ridley's Essential Series weighs approximately 990 grams in size M (unpainted). Aerodynamically optimized tube profiles help reduce drag while maintaining efficient power transfer.
This makes the Falcn equally suitable for fast races on flat roads, long mountain stages and demanding training sessions. The result is a modern all-round road bike combining aerodynamic efficiency with lightweight construction.
One of the standout features of the Ridley Falcn is its premium Shimano Ultegra Di2 2x12 electronic groupset. This advanced shifting system delivers fast, precise and reliable gear changes at the touch of a button, ensuring consistently high shifting performance.
The Shimano Ultegra crankset with 52/36-tooth chainrings is paired with a Shimano Ultegra 11-30 cassette. This performance-oriented gearing provides closely spaced ratios, making it ideal for riders who want to maintain an efficient cadence at high speeds and across varying terrain.
Electronic front and rear derailleurs ensure accurate shifting and effortless operation. Hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable stopping power and excellent modulation in changing weather conditions.
Another major highlight is the premium DT Swiss ARC1600 Dicut carbon wheelset. With an impressive 55 mm rim depth, these wheels are designed for aerodynamic efficiency and perfectly complement the Falcn's racing character.
The deep-section carbon rims help reduce aerodynamic drag, providing advantages particularly at higher speeds. Their 22 mm internal rim width is well suited to modern road tires.
High-quality DT Swiss 350 hubs ensure dependable performance and durability. The tubeless-ready wheels also allow riders to switch to a tubeless setup when using compatible tires and the appropriate installation components.
This aerodynamic wheelset is particularly effective during fast races and long high-speed sections.
The Ridley Falcn comes equipped with 28 mm Vittoria Corsa N.EXT tires. These performance-oriented road tires combine low rolling resistance with reliable grip and responsive handling.
The tubeless-ready construction allows for tubeless installation with the appropriate setup. Running suitable tire pressures can improve comfort and traction on uneven road surfaces.
With maximum tire clearance of 34 mm, the Falcn also accommodates wider road tires, allowing riders to adapt their setup to different road conditions and personal preferences.
The Ridley Falcn shares its racing geometry with the high-end Falcn RS. This geometry has been specifically developed for speed, stability and responsive handling.
The relatively short head tube allows riders to adopt an aggressive aerodynamic position. The lower bottom bracket contributes to stable handling and greater control, particularly at higher speeds.
Short chainstays support agile acceleration and quick changes of direction, making the Falcn an excellent companion for fast flat sections, challenging descents and winding roads.
A distinctive technical feature is the aerodynamic 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 optimized airflow complements the aerodynamic frame profiles and reinforces the Falcn's focus on speed and efficiency.
The Falcn features a 4ZA Stratos Pro handlebar and Forza Stratos Pro stem with semi-integrated cable routing. This creates a clean cockpit appearance that complements the aerodynamic frame design.
A 27.2 mm Forza Cirrus carbon-alloy seatpost with 10 mm offset and a premium Selle Italia SLR Advan saddle with manganese rails complete the component package.
The frame also features a Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH), making replacement hangers easier to source.
The Ridley Falcn Ultegra Di2 2x12 is designed for demanding road cyclists looking for a lightweight, aerodynamic and well-equipped carbon bike. Its electronic Shimano Ultegra drivetrain, 55 mm deep DT Swiss carbon wheels and performance-oriented racing geometry make it an outstanding choice for fast training rides, challenging mountain stages and competitive racing.
