RIDLEY Fenix SLA Disc 105 Mix road bike

With the Fenix SLA Disc all-round road bike, you have a responsive, comfortable performance racer that glides over cobblestones - at an affordable price! Very few aluminium road bikes include as many hi-end technological features as the Fenix SLA Disc. It benefits from a diamond-shaped down tube, solid rear triangle and straight fork - all features of the Fenix SLiC designed to combine comfort and power. In addition, the tubes of the Fenix SLA Disc are triple-butted. Each tube has a thin center wall, which thickens towards the end. This makes the frame lighter and stiffer. Finally, you can also customize this bike´s colors, which is unique in the world of cycling - especially for an entry-level all-round road bike.

So, in treating Ridley customers as unique individuals, we now design all geometry for all bikes as completely unisex. This means that all our bikes are equally suited for both men and women. - As fit comes down to each person´s unique body type and riding style, we suggest you get a bike fit as your starting point. Once you know your measurements, visit our handy Ridley Configurator to build your dream bike that will fit you like a glove from the very first pedal stroke. - With the Ridley Configurator, simply select your model and size, then adjust all details to your needs. A shorter / longer stem, narrower / wider handlebar, a seatpost with / without offset, a saddle that suits you best. This is where Ridley makes the difference. Each person can put together a bike tailored to their needs right from the start - free of charge, of course! Fenix tubing: - The Fenix has a unique tube profile. When you slice the frame lengthwise in half, you´ll see a clear distinction between ´comfort´ and ´stiffness´. - The oversized headset provides extra stiffness and stability which is instantly felt when accelerating or in its pinpoint handling. The massive downtube increases stiffness while adding strength. Its BB86 bottom bracket and asymmetrical chainstay deliver max power transfer. - The slightly curved top tube becomes narrower and rounder when moving towards the seat tube. Like a leaf spring, it helps absorb bumps in the road. The 27.2mm seatpost filters out vibrations, along with slim, oval-shaped seat stays which provide the perfect balance between stiffness and comfort. Learn about the seat stays HERE. Hydro tubing: - Our aluminium bikes go through an extremely careful, high-tech process before rolling out of our Belgian assembly line as complete bikes. - We select a 6061-T6 aluminium alloy commonly used in the aircraft industry as it scores very well on stiffness, metal fatigue, weight and welding precision. All our tubes are triple-butted where central wall thickness is 3x thinner than at the ends. This minimizes weight and maximizes stiffness. - The tubes are also hydroformed - a process in which water under pressure gives the tubes the desired shape, without potential damage that mechanical shaping can cause. - Lastly, we use a “double-pass flat weld” in crucial places for extra strength and clean finish - an absolute must for modern aluminium bikes.
