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

Description

Ridley KANZO Fast 2.0 Force XPLR gravel bike Stellar Green/UD Carbon/Silver is a race-tuned gravel bike built for fast riding on dirt roads as well as rougher terrain. It’s aimed at experienced riders who care about aerodynamics, tire width choice, and an efficient riding position. With electronic shifting and carbon wheels, it sits in the very top performance category of gravel bikes.

Frame and geometry

The frame is made from Ultra HM carbon composite, with TA thru-axles 12×142 and a BB86 bottom bracket standard. The Kanzo Fast 2.0 uses aerodynamic tube shapes derived from the Ridley Noah Fast road platform. The geometry is progressive and race-oriented, with an emphasis on stability at high speed and an efficient rider position. Both the frame and fork have clearance for tires up to 58 mm, and the frame offers integrated storage in the down tube.

Components

Drivetrain: Shifting is handled by SRAM Force XPLR 1×13 with a 44T single chainring and electronic control. The SRAM XG-1371 cassette has a 10–46 range, and the cranks include a spindle-based power meter.

Brakes: The bike is equipped with disc brakes for gravel use. The braking system matches the SRAM Force platform with hydraulic actuation.

Wheels and tires: Forza Skiron RS XDR wheelset uses Vonoa carbon spokes and Ceramic Speed bearings. The rim is 50 mm deep with a 27 mm internal width, and the tires are Schwalbe G-One RS ProTubeless Ready 55 mm.

Cockpit: Forza Nimbus Pro handlebars support a low front profile and clean routing. The Deda aero seatpost for Ridley has zero offset, and the saddle is Selle Italia SLR Offroad L3 PU-FLEX ADVAN.

Ride characteristics

The aerodynamic frame and deeper rims help maintain speed on flats and in the wind. Wide tires up to 58 mm increase mechanical grip and improve control on broken gravel. The race geometry helps hold a stable line at high speed while still allowing precise steering up front. A 44T single chainring with a 10–46 cassette covers fast sections and long climbs without the need for a front derailleur.

Who it’s for

This gravel bike is designed for riders who want to race, do fast training rides, and tailor their bike to a specific course profile. It also works well for sporty bikepacking thanks to the in-frame storage and the option to mount a top-tube bag. Compared to more comfort-oriented gravel bikes with more relaxed geometry, it prioritizes pace, aerodynamics, and a wide range of tire options.
