Eurobike: The Belgian bicycle manufacturer Ridley presented the next evolutionary stage of the Noah presented - that Noah S.L.
The framework of Noah S.L was compared to its model brother, the Noah Almost changed at some neuralgic points. For example, the head tube has been revised.
#André Greipel could not be missing as the brand's driving force...
#...and presented the new Noah SL to the engineers together
The ones from Fast known F split-Fork no longer has an integrated brake. Here Ridley uses a conventional rim brake. The same applies to the frame, where the brake also moves to the bridge between the support struts. A new feature is the F-tapered head tube, which is said to have better aerodynamic values thanks to its wider and longer teardrop shape.
The use of a seat post is also new. The clamp is integrated into the top tube.
The input of the Lotto-Belisol riders and mechanics was important when developing the frame. That's how it is Noah S.L much easier to maintain.
The fork is designed for the use of 700C wheels with a width of 130 millimeters. The maximum tire width is 25 millimeters.
The frame is made from a mix of 60 ton, 40 ton and 30 ton high modulus carbon. The dropouts are reinforced with steel plates. The frame is designed for both mechanical and electronic groupsets, with the cables being routed internally.
