Ridley Bikes Ignite SLX GX Eagle dove grey

Ignite is Ridleys very lightweight 29er hardtail designed for XC competition. If you’re looking to improve your speed and handling skills, the Ignite is your answer. Excellent power transfer due to its built-in stiffness. Its tapered head tube increases front end stiffness for optimal steering and control. Thru-axles add to its stiffness, as does its integrated postmount disc brakes.

To build in comfort, Ridley worked meticulously on Ridleys tubing design as well as Ridleys materials layup to create the ultimate hardtail that cruises at high speeds over the most arduous terrain. Internal cable routing keeps the cables clean, while giving the bike that tidy look.

Compatible with both mechanical and electronic shifting. Also compatible with an internally routed dropper post.

The Ignite SLX is the top model in Ridleys hardtail, cross country mountain bike range.
This MTB features an extremely ingenious carbon lay-up which is key in achieving such amazing riding characteristics that you'll feel from the first pedal stroke. At the front end of the bike Ridley uses Toray Carbon with high tensile strength. At the rear, Ridley opted for a different carbon lay-up to maximize vertical flex. The increased steering angle (trail) provides an extra stable riding feel. Ridleys R&D also gave the seat stays an asymmetrical, oval shape to maximize stiffness. Ridley don't let a single Watt go to waste!

The result is an Ignite SLX MTB that's light, stiff and agile. Take those flowing singletracks and steep slopes faster than anyone else…for the win!
