Ridley Bikes Grifn 105 rich orange metallic

Curtain up for the Grifn - the all-road bike that's fast and strong on any terrain from smooth asphalt to dirt roads. The model was developed specifically for riders whose bike should be able to do one thing above all: everything.

The Grifn is made for tough and long rides, exploring new routes and making fabulous memories. No road is too far for this bike. In developing the Grifn, Ridley combined the speed of a thoroughbred road bike with the comfort of a gravel bike.

With its 990 gram frame (unpainted, size M), the Grifn is a fast and comfortable road bike that is ready for off-road rides with a maximum tire clearance of 38mm. There is even the possibility to ride 40mm tires with a 1-fach-Antrieb drive or to mount mudguards and dynamo-powered lights and make the Grifn usable for all purposes: Thus, in addition to riding on asphalt and gravel, it is also suitable for commuting and long-distance rides.

With the Grifn, the driver is no longer confined to a specific terrain. The bike is perfect for those who do not want to choose between road and gravel. Those who are looking for a gravel bike and want to explore scenic road bike routes, or want to be able to switch to gravel roads at will with the road bike, will find their perfect bike in the Grifn. With the Grifn, Ridley breaks the N rule in cycling.

The name refers to "Griffin", the English translation for the mythical griffin - an animal with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. The legendary mixed creature symbolizes the dominion over two worlds: Heaven and earth. With asphalt and gravel, Ridley's Grifn also masters two different elements thanks to its versatility. With the Grifn, not only the fastest road bike routes, but also the most beautiful gravel tours are open to the rider.

So that you can take any direction with the Grifn, the bike is suitable for assembly both as a road bike and as a gravel bike and can be fully customized to the wishes of the rider. So the Grifn is not only ideal for road and gravel rides, but also makes a perfect commuter and long-distance bike.

A completely new bike design brings new shapes and geometry. The geometry of the Grifn is suitable for both asphalt and gravel and was developed according to Ridley's KOG principle (Kanzo Optimized Geometry). This means that the geometry is optimally tuned to achieve the best handling for the riding conditions for which the bike is designed. This is reflected in some key geometry data, such as the steering angle and the bottom bracket drop.

The result is a fast, responsive yet stable and balanced all-road bike. The Grifn is a road-ready gravel bike that offers enough comfort for long rides on rough terrain, but is also aggressive enough for a Gran Fondo. This makes it the perfect companion on the long haul.

Its characteristics, its geometry and the possibility of riding both a 2-fach and a 1-fach drivetrain make the Grifn an extremely versatile bike that offers endless possibilities for use. In short: With the Grifn, Ridley consistently challenges the N rule in cycling.
