What kind of bike can hang in on club rides, gravel grind and race cyclocross all in one weekend? Until now, nothing, but that's changed with the arrival of the X-Trail. Incredibly versatile, the X-Trail geometry combines the nimbleness of a cyclocross ride with the high-speed stability and stiffness of a road bike, so you can ride pretty much anywhere. Massive clearance allows up to 38C tires to hammer the cyclocross circuit or a group ride by swapping out tires or wheels. Lightweight and silky smooth, the 11-speed Shimano 105 gruppo is a performer with a versatile gear range. Powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes provide stopping power with nuanced modulation regardless of the conditions. A host of smart details make this package a winner: an asymmetric rear triangle for shock absorption and stiffness, hidden fender mounts for everyday usability and a scuff guard on the fork to prevent damage when swapping wheels.
- High-modulus unidirectional carbon fiber frame is light, stiff, comfortable and durable enough to handle the rigours of varied riding
- Rear triangle features uniquely shaped tubes for maximum stiffness, low weight and a comfortable degree of flex
- Bridgeless seat stay design improves tire clearance and allows the seat stay to independently flex for added shock absorption
- Oversized tapered head tube increases front end stiffness and steering precision
- Asymmetric fork features a carbon steertube and integrated scuff guard
- Pressfit 86 bottom bracket results in excellent power transfer and high-speed stability
- Shimano 105 11-speed gruppo yields precise shifting in a lightweight package
- Shimano hydraulic disc brakes provide outstanding power and modulation in all weather
- Compact 50/34 crank and huge 11-32t cassette means a gear range ready for every kind of ride
- Thru-axles front and rear provide outstanding stiffness, tracking and quick wheel changes
- DT Swiss R24 wheels are tubeless ready and durable enough to handle every weird adventure
- 38C tires handle the rigours of gravel grinding or cyclocross
- Hidden fender mounts add touring versatility
- Bikes are covered by MEC's Rocksolid Guarantee and Bike Service Agreement. You can bring your bike to any MEC Bike Shop for free adjustments and minor maintenance for a year after purchase
- Ridley was born in Flanders, Belgium, a region infamous for harsh cycling conditions. Against this backdrop, Ridley engineers, tests and refines its frame construction, race technology, tube profiles, and its own branded component line, 4ZA
