Ridley introduces the 2.0 version of the Kanzo Fast gravel bike. This new release represents the next generation in gravel racing with an increased aerodynamic performance, clearance for wide tyres and a progressive race geometry. The Kanso Fast 2.0 is ready for an even faster ride on offroad tracks.

The 2.0 version offers an exceptional tyre clearance up to 58 mm, equalling the size of a 29×2.3” MTB tyre. This results in more traction, more comfort and a lower rolling resistance. Downside is the increased drag using wider tyres. That’s why Ridley made an effort in optimizing aerodynamics for both wide tyres and frameset as an integrated system.

The oversized aero downtube, extended head tube and optimized frame profiles have been developed to manage the airflow around the frame and water bottles as efficiently as possible. Resulting in compensating increased drag when wider tyres are being fitted.

The Kanzo Fast 2.0 has been given a new geometry specifically for modern gravel racing using wider tyres at higher speeds. The steeper seat tube angle brings the rider in a more forward position for more efficiency during longer rides.  The lower bottom bracket compensates for the wider tyres while providing extra stability when the speed goes up.

Top of the range are the models equipped with either a SRAM RED XPLR or Campagnolo Super Record-X 13-speed drivetrain (+ € 55 in configurator only). It comes at a price* of € 11.699. Builds start at € 5.499* (SRAM Rival).

The Kanzo Fast 2.0 is a versatile gravel bike that combines speed, control and the freedom to adapt the bike to the course. Whether you’re at the start of a race or just want to ride your fastest ride ever, it is ready for any track.
