The second generation of the Kanzo Fast combines Ridley's latest aerodynamic technology with progressive race geometry, massive tyre clearance and a premium specification designed around competitive riding. The SRAM Force XPLR groupset with power meter and lightweight Forza Skiron RS carbon wheels make this version an excellent choice for ambitious gravel riders looking for outstanding performance on both high-speed races and demanding technical courses.
At the heart of the Kanzo Fast 2.0 is Ridley's lightweight Elite Series Ultra-HM carbon frame. Ridley brings its third generation of aerodynamic technology, developed for the Noah Fast, into the gravel segment, with aerodynamic tube profiles specifically optimised around the high-volume tyres used in modern gravel racing. The result combines the advantages of wide tyres with the efficiency of a dedicated aero race bike.
The geometry has also been redesigned for modern gravel racing. A steeper seat angle supports an efficient and aerodynamic riding position, while the lower bottom bracket adds stability at high speeds. At the same time, the handling remains agile and precise – exactly what is required on fast and technically demanding gravel courses.
The electronic SRAM Force XPLR 1x13 drivetrain perfectly matches the performance-oriented racing character of the bike. Its gravel-specific 10–46T cassette provides a wide gear range, while the 44T aero chainring is ideally suited to the high-speed capabilities of the Kanzo Fast. Electronic shifting delivers fast and precise gear changes even under demanding race conditions.
A particularly valuable feature is the spindle-based power meter integrated into the SRAM Force XPLR crankset as standard. It allows riders to record their power output and use accurate performance data for structured training, efficient pacing and racing.
The Force XPLR version also features an impressive wheel specification. The Forza Skiron RS carbon wheels feature 50 mm deep rims, a modern 27 mm internal width and lightweight Vonoa carbon spokes. CeramicSpeed bearings further reduce friction and complement the bike's performance-focused specification.
Fast Schwalbe G-One RS Pro 55 mm tubeless-ready tyres come fitted as standard. The frame itself offers clearance for tyres up to an impressive 58 mm – comparable to a 29 x 2.3" mountain bike tyre – allowing riders to adapt their setup to different courses, surfaces and race conditions.
The integrated 4ZA Nimbus Pro cockpit creates a clean front end and complements the aerodynamic design of the bike. At the same time, a discreet storage compartment inside the downtube provides space for essentials such as a spare tube, CO₂ cartridge or multitool. Two padded storage pouches are included to keep everything securely in place.
With its aerodynamic Ultra-HM carbon frame, electronic SRAM Force XPLR 1x13 drivetrain with power meter, premium Forza Skiron RS carbon wheels and clearance for tyres up to 58 mm, the Ridley Kanzo Fast 2.0 Force XPLR is purpose-built for fast gravel racing. Its high-quality Force specification combines low weight, precise shifting and modern integration in a performance-oriented package for ambitious gravel riders.
