The Ridley Raft XC is a full-suspension MTB with a lightweight carbon fibre frame and mounting points for two bottle cages. Its exceptionally versatile geometry makes it the ideal companion for competitions and ambitious off-road adventures alike. With 100 mm of effective travel, the Raft XC is perfect for high speeds and racing. The proven SRAM GX drivetrain impresses with its precise performance and high durability.
The universal derailleur hanger (UDH) is the new standard in the cycling world. Not only is this derailleur hanger compatible with all modern groupsets, it also protects against derailleur breakage and chain drop. UDH has long been widely used in mountain biking, and Ridley is now bringing the technology to other segments.
The Raft XC is a full-suspension MTB with 100 mm of travel. The 100 mm of rear travel is performance-focused, and a remote lockout allows you to sprint with direct power transfer to the rear wheel.
Agile steering and a steep seat angle guarantee razor-sharp handling and efficient power transfer. Thanks to the longer wheelbase and the slacker head angle, you won’t lose time even on descents.
The Raft XC features a lightweight carbon fiber frame with mounting points for two bottle cages inside the front triangle. Additional mounting points allow you to attach tools or other accessories, such as a top tube bag.
