RIDLEY bike KANZO Fast 2.0 Force XPLR Stellar Green/UD Carbon/Silver

Product description

The original Kanzo Fast helped redefine what a true gravel race bike should be. The all-new Kanzo Fast 2.0 takes that vision even further. Combining Ridley’s latest generation of aerodynamic technologies – developed on the road-going Noah Fast – with 58mm tire clearance and progressive race geometry, the result is a machine perfectly tuned for the ever-increasing demands of modern gravel racing.

Wide tires provide the grip, comfort and rolling efficiency needed on broken terrain, while the aerodynamically shaped frame helps maintain high speed on fast sections. The Kanzo Fast 2.0 is a versatile racing platform that combines speed, control and the freedom to adapt to any track profile. Whether you're on the starting grid or just planning to attack your personal best, the Kanzo Fast 2.0 is ready for whatever the gravel has in store for you.

Ready for any conditions

The Kanzo Fast 2.0 is designed for more than just dry race days. Integrated mounting points on the top tube allow for easy installation of a low-profile pannier, while compatibility with Ridley's specially designed Curana mudguards makes it an ideal companion for winter training and riding in the rain. Combined with generous tire clearance, the bike can be easily adapted to a variety of conditions without sacrificing its pure racing DNA.

Passage for tires up to 58 mm

The Kanzo Fast 2.0 offers space for tires up to 58 mm wide, which corresponds to the size 29 × 2.3” for mountain bikes. This gives racers absolute freedom in choosing tires according to the nature of the track, surface and current weather. High-volume tires bring clear advantages in difficult terrain in the form of higher traction, more pronounced comfort and lower rolling resistance. When choosing narrower tires, the frame provides a huge margin of clearance, which is invaluable especially in muddy and technical races. Instead of being built around one specific size, the Kanzo Fast 2.0 represents a universal racing base for every track.

Equipment without compromise

The Kanzo Fast 2.0 is packed with performance-focused components, from the integrated Nimbus Pro cockpit to the Forza Skiron RS wheels and the electronic single-speed (1x) shifting. The bike comes standard with a special Wolf Tooth chain guide for maximum drivetrain security on rough terrain. With compatibility with chainrings up to 56 teeth, the gearing can be finely tuned for extremely fast tracks where top speed is the key.

Integrated storage space in the frame

The Kanzo Fast 2.0 features a discreet storage compartment inside the down tube, providing space for essential equipment such as a CO₂ canister, multitool or spare tube. The robust cover keeps the contents securely in place and does not disrupt the aerodynamic lines of the frame. Two padded bags of different sizes are included, allowing you to customize your tool arrangement according to the needs of a particular ride or race. Both bags can be used separately or together, and their padding effectively prevents any unpleasant rattling while riding.

Advanced aerodynamics

The Kanzo Fast 2.0 brings the third generation of Ridley aerodynamic technology, proven on the Noah Fast, to the gravel world. The frame's aerodynamics have been specifically tuned to accommodate the larger tire volume typical of modern gravel. Wider tires typically create more drag, but the optimized shape of the frame's The Kanzo Fast 2.0 combines the off-road advantages of wide tires with the speed of a purebred aerodynamic special and remains fast in the off-season even at high speed averages.

Progressive racing geometry

The frame geometry has been completely redesigned to accommodate larger tires and higher speeds. A steeper seat tube angle moves the rider further forward over the bottom bracket, making it easier to maintain an aerodynamic position for sustained performance. The lower center of gravity compensates for the larger diameter of the wide-tire wheels, giving the bike excellent stability at high speeds. The fork offset has also been adjusted to accommodate the larger wheel radius to maintain a playful, lively and precise handling. The result is a race machine that combines an efficient ride with maximum confidence and control on challenging gravel tracks.

Proven in the races

The exceptional features of Ridley off-road bikes are created in close collaboration with the Ridley Racing Team. As a professional cyclocross and gravel team, the riders bring valuable experience directly from the world's most demanding races. They help fine-tune even the smallest details, share insights from inside the peloton, and constantly test the bikes' capabilities at the highest level.
