Ridley Gravel Bikes - Gravel Bikes from Ridley

Ridley Gravel Bikes in detail

Ridley launched its first gravel bike in 2016 with the Kanzo, helping usher in the European gravel era. The X-Trail had already appeared in 2015 as an all-road pioneer. In December 2022, the Grifn followed – an all-road bike combining road and off-road capability as an "N+1 killer." In autumn 2024, Ridley presented the ASTR RS, a pure performance gravel bike with aggressive race DNA. In parallel, Ridley expanded the segment with electric variants: spring 2024 the E-GRIFN with Mahle X20, summer 2025 the E-ASTR with TQ HPR40. The special collaboration Invenio Gravel Carbon was created together with Tomorrowland.

Ridley distributes its gravel bikes worldwide through authorized dealers in Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia. At Radfieber, over 25 different Ridley gravel models are currently available – from entry-level bikes to high-end racers. Since entering the gravel segment in 2016, Ridley has produced and sold several tens of thousands of gravel bikes.

With Ridley gravel bikes, customers can choose between carbon and aluminum, between groupsets from Shimano (Claris, GRX, 105, Ultegra, Dura-Ace) and SRAM (Apex, Rival, Force, Red), between 1x and 2x drivetrains, and different tire sizes. Tire clearance varies by model. Electric variants additionally differ in their drive systems (Mahle X20 rear hub motor vs. TQ HPR40 mid-motor). All models are individually customizable via the Ridley configurator.

• ASTR (with E-ASTR) – The ASTR is a pure performance gravel bike with a carbon frame and sporty race geometry. The E-ASTR is the electric variant with TQ HPR40 drive, 52 mm tire clearance, and under 12 kg.
• GRIFN (with E-GRIFN) – The GRIFN is a versatile all-road bike for road and off-road, available in carbon (GRIFN, GRIFN RS) and aluminum (GRIFN A). The E-GRIFN is the electric version with Mahle X20 system, available as road and gravel variant.
• INVENIO – A special collaboration between Ridley and Tomorrowland. The Invenio Gravel Carbon is based on the Kanzo Fast, combining aero features from the Noah Fast with gravel know-how, equipped with SRAM Force XPLR. No e-bike variant available at Radfieber.
• KALAZY – An entry-level gravel bike with aluminum frame, Shimano Claris 2x8, and mechanical disc brakes. The geometry is based on the Kanzo Adventure, offers 47 mm tire clearance and city-friendly features. No e-bike variant available.
• KANZO – Ridley's first gravel series, originally introduced in 2016. Includes the aerodynamic Kanzo Fast (carbon, race-oriented) and the Kanzo Adventure (carbon and aluminum, bikepacking-ready). An E-KANZO ADVENTURE exists as a Ridley model but is not listed at Radfieber.

Commonalities: All five model families share Belgian Ridley design DNA with a focus on performance, disc brakes, and individual configurability. Differences: ASTR and Kanzo Fast are race-oriented, GRIFN and KALAZY more versatile, INVENIO a special edition. Frame material, tire clearance, and price level vary widely – from the entry-level KALAZY to the high-end ASTR RS.
