The Falcn RS is the ultimate road bike for any rider looking to push their limits and take their performance to the next level. It’s created for those who demand the highest quality and want a reliable and efficient speed machine to help them achieve their goals. With its aero and lightweight responsive carbon frame, the Falcn RS is ready for all your competitive cycling goals. This versatile bike can really handle any kind of road racing, whether it’s a gruelling mountain stage or a classic, fast-paced road race. It’s the perfect tool for the Spring Classics races, which are known for their harsh and challenging courses on rough terrain. With a tyre clearance that can accommodate up to 34mm tyres, the Falcn RS is ready for any challenge you throw at it. The lightweight frame of 830gr will help you conquer the highest mountains and the exceptional aerodynamics of the frame and the fork will convert every watt into pure speed when you’re in the breakaway. Ridley Carbon Ridley use only the best quality carbon available, sourced from Toray. They are the world’s leading carbon manufacturer, supplying mainly to the aerospace industry. The grades of high-modulus carbon Ridley use vary from the most pliable 24-ton, which gives the frame flex and comfort, to 60-ton which is the stiffest option. F-Steerer Ridley’s F-Steerer, with half-moon curvature, ingeniously allows for fully internal cabling. Cables run straight from handlebar, through stem and directly inside the steerer tube where they have room to move freely as bar is turned from left to right. Not only does this decrease air friction from cable drag, but it gives your bike a very clean look. In addition, by adjusting the cross-section of the steerer, Ridley were able to increase its lateral stiffness, which comes in handy when sprinting. Compatible with Shimano, Campagnolo and SRAM. Diffuser fork crown The fork crown has an integrated diffuser to reduce drag. The airflow passes more easily through fork crown while extra energy is added to it. The result is that the airflow passes the downtube more easily without pushing the bike back. At the same time there is less drag in the area behind the fork and headtube. D-shaped Seatpost The D-shaped seatpost on Ridly aero bikes has a dual function of aerodynamics with a strong emphasis on comfort. Its aerodynamic influences are clearly seen as its profile and groove are both features of our F-Tubing. The cross profile of the seatpost is also shorter than that of the shortened NACA profile of, for example, the down tube. While very aerodynamic, we certainly built much comfort into this unique D-shaped seatpost design. The flat backside filters out a lot of shock by incorporating flex into the seatpost. This is an important extra feature that we added to our aero bikes as comfort can certainly improve performance, especially during those extra-long rides. Race Proven Road This road bike, trusted by the elite Lotto Dstny cycling team, is built with cutting-edge technology for ultimate speed and performance. The aerodynamic design, lightweight frame, and superior handling make it the ideal choice for serious road cyclists looking to excel in competition.
