A unique one-off Noah Fast - our tribute to Alexander Kristoff!

  • News
As the 2025 road season came to a close, the peloton bade farewell to Alexander Kristoff. “The Stavanger Stallion” was one of the outstanding Classics riders of his generation. Over his illustrious career, he amassed 98 professional victories — including Milan–San Remo, the Tour of Flanders and Gent–Wevelgem — wore the yellow jersey, took Olympic bronze and was crowned European champion. To honour that remarkable palmarès, we presented Kristoff with a uniquely designed Noah Fast at Rouleur Live.

The whole Noah Fast livery is inspired by Lamborghini. The Italian car manufacturer is a brand that Kristoff is very passionate about and he owns a white one himself.
As Uno-X Mobility’s bike partner in Kristoff’s final season, Ridley enjoyed a superb working relationship driven by a shared obsession with pure speed. We wish Alexander all the best on his next stages and hope he enjoys some fast miles on the Noah Fast. Enjoy your retirement, Alexander!

Noah Fast

The fastest bike we’ve ever built

In 2025, aerodynamics is everything! Ridley’s product developers started with a blank slate for the third generation of the Noah Fast. The result is a 100% aero bike. At a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, the Noah Fast is 8.5 watts faster than its predecessor. This underscores that aerodynamics are rooted in Ridley’s DNA.
