Ridley Grifn A 105 2x12 Road Bike in Dark Violet Cameleon

The Grifn A expands the all-road segment to aluminum bikes, offering a custom bike experience at an accessible price point.

You can easily switch from a 'road-setup' to an 'offroad-setup' with the Grifn A. This aluminum bike feels at home on both regular roads and gravel paths thanks to its well-thought-out and highly appreciated all-road geometry. With internal dynamo routing and the option to install fenders, the Grifn A also becomes the ideal bike for necessary commutes.

You can choose tires up to 38 millimeters or even 40 millimeters (with 1x drivetrain) with the Grifn A. In terms of geometry and placement of eyelets, this Grifn A is identical to the successful Grifn. Additionally, the brand opts for a 6061-T6 aluminum alloy because it scores very well on stiffness, metal fatigue, weight, and welding precision. The Grifn A even has a Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH), very rare among similar bikes. This makes the Grifn A a modern aluminum bike accessible to all enthusiasts.

Features:

• All-road geometry: The geometry of the Ridley Grifn is the superb overlap of a stiff racing and a tolerant off-road frame. The goal is a reactive and nimble riding feel while keeping stable handling on off-road terrain. The head tube angle is slightly flatter than a road bike's but sharper than a gravel bike's, resulting in a new geometry specifically designed for the all-road segment.
• Optimized tire clearance: You have the option for tires up to 38 millimeters, and if You opt for a 1x drivetrain, You can even go up to 40 millimeters. This maintains a balance between speed and agility, and comfort and stability.
• Cable routing for lights: Like every bike in the Grifn family, You have the option to route the cable for a rear light through the top tube. Internal cable routing for the dynamo hub is also concealed in the fork leg, enabling You to install lighting on Your bike.
• Personalized setup: The frame has three attachment points on the down tube and two beneath it, as well as three on the seat tube, allowing You to adjust the position of Your bottle cages in combination with a frame bag. Additionally, there are two attachment points on the top tube for a top tube bag or toolkit. Specific mudguards have been designed for the Grifn, enabling You to use Your bike in all weather conditions.
• Two worlds, one bike: With the Grifn family, You can hit the road as well as the off-road. You simply change wheelsets and do a gran fondo gravel on Saturday and hit the road the day after with the regular cycling club.
• Triple-butted technique: Ridley opts for a 6061-T6 aluminum alloy for the Grifn A due to its excellent scores in stiffness, metal fatigue, weight, and welding precision. Each tube has a wall thickness at its center three times thinner than at the ends, employing the ‘triple-butted’ technique to minimize weight and maximize stiffness.
• Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH): This derailleur hanger is compatible with all modern shifting groups and protects against derailleur breakage and chain drops.
