No country is more serious about cyclocross than Belgium.  Being the first country to host a cyclocross national championship race in 1910, the nation’s fervour with the sport has grown ever since.  

Ridley has always been a strong supporter of Belgian cyclocross through sponsorship of the Fidea and Palmans-Colstrop teams.  Ridley riders have won 5 out of the last 6 World Championships and 3 National Championships.  

With history and results like these, it’s easy to understand why Ridley is the number one cyclocross brand.      

X-Fire:  Designed in conjunction with Belgian National Champion Niels Albert, the X-Fire features new cyclocross geometry to provide superior handling and fast acceleration.  Featuring a proportionally sized down tube and top tube routed cables for an easier grip on the down tube.  Also benefits from a flat shoulder spot to increase comfort when carrying the bike.
