Ridley's Kanzo Fast 2.0 gravel race bike can clear tyres as wide as 58mm

The Ridley Kanzo Fast 2.0 gravel race bike has expanded its tyre clearance to 58mm in its second iteration, allowing riders to use wider tires for improved comfort, grip, and handling on challenging terrain. This is a significant development in the gravel racing scene, where the use of high-volume mountain bike tires at low pressures has proven effective in reducing rolling resistance and increasing performance.

The Kanzo Fast 2.0 maintains aerodynamic efficiency through the use of validated aero technology, derived from Ridley's Noah Fast race bike. The bike's lower bottom bracket and deeper head tube cater to the larger wheel diameter, while a steep seat tube angle offers an aerodynamically advantageous riding position. Priced starting at €5,499, the Ridley Kanzo Fast 2.0 is available in three complete builds with different components, making it a versatile option for gravel racers seeking a balance between aerodynamics and rolling performance.
