The Ridley Kanzo Fast 2.0 is a pure gravel race bike built with speed in mind. The second generation of the Kanzo Fast combines advanced aerodynamics with massive tyre clearance and progressive race geometry. Ridley brings its latest aero technology, developed for the Noah Fast, into the gravel segment, creating a bike designed for fast racing, long gravel events and riders chasing every possible second.

Aerodynamic Ultra-HM carbon frame

At the heart of the Kanzo Fast 2.0 is Ridley's high-end Elite Series Ultra-HM carbon frame. Its aerodynamically optimised tube shapes have been specifically developed around the wide tyres used in modern gravel racing. This allows the Kanzo Fast 2.0 to combine the grip and rolling efficiency of high-volume tyres with the aerodynamic efficiency of a dedicated race bike.

Progressive performance geometry puts the rider into an efficient and aerodynamic position. At the same time, the lower bottom bracket and geometry optimised around larger tyres provide stability at high speeds while maintaining precise and agile handling on demanding gravel courses.

SRAM Rival XPLR 1x13 – electronic and gravel-specific

The electronic SRAM Rival XPLR 1x13 drivetrain perfectly complements the performance-oriented character of the Kanzo Fast 2.0. A 42T chainring is paired with a wide-range 10–46T cassette, providing 13 gears for everything from high-speed gravel sections to demanding climbs. The single-chainring setup eliminates the need for a front derailleur, resulting in a clean, simple and purpose-built gravel drivetrain.

Carbon wheels and up to 58 mm tyre clearance

The Kanzo Fast 2.0 comes equipped with 40 mm deep Forza Skiron CG40 carbon wheels, providing a lightweight, aerodynamic and tubeless-ready wheelset straight out of the box. The fitted Vittoria Terreno T30 TLR 700x55c tyres underline just how seriously Ridley has embraced the demands of modern gravel racing.

The frame offers clearance for tyres up to an impressive 58 mm – comparable to a 29 x 2.3" mountain bike tyre. This allows riders to adapt the bike to a wide variety of courses, from fast and smooth gravel races to rougher and more technical terrain where additional grip and comfort can make a significant difference.

Integrated storage for your ride essentials

A discreet storage compartment inside the downtube provides space for essentials such as a spare tube, CO₂ cartridge or multitool. The system includes two padded storage pouches in different sizes, helping to keep everything securely in place and reducing unwanted noise while riding.

A true gravel race machine

The Ridley Kanzo Fast 2.0 Rival XPLR is made for ambitious gravel riders looking to combine outright speed with modern off-road performance. Its aerodynamic Ultra-HM carbon frame, electronic SRAM Rival XPLR 1x13 drivetrain, carbon wheels, integrated frame storage and huge tyre clearance create an uncompromising platform for fast gravel racing and performance-focused adventures.
