Kanzo Fast 2.0 SRAM Rival XPLR KF201As(M)

Yes, narrower tyres can be used, we do advise a minimum tyre width of 40mm. 

We supply a smaller and a larger pouch with the bike. This allows the rider to choose their loadout depending on their needs. Both pouches can be used together or separately. The pouches are padded to reduce rattling sounds as much as possible.

Yes, this is possible. We have developed a bespoke mudguard kit together with the experts at Curana. When fitting mudguards the maximum tyre clearance is limited to 47mm. We choose to provide this option as many riders don’t have the luxury of having a dedicated winter training bike and we wanted to make foul weather riding more comfortable.

No, this is not possible. The KF2.0 is a 1x only bike. The mounting point on the seat tube is for a chainguide to provide additional chain retention on rough terrain. Modern gravel drivetrains also provide enough range to tailor the gearing to the needs of the rider. By eliminating the front derailleur and double chainrings we also reduce the risk of failure or malfunction because of these extra parts.

While this is not the intended use case for a Kanzo Fast it can be used for lighter bikepacking or so-called fast packing with lighter loads.

Due to ‘packaging constraints’. It was not possible to combine the tyre and chainring clearance with a wide enough chainstay yoke that would allow routing of a mechanical shifter cable. If you look closely at the drive side chainstay behind the BB you will see that this has a blade like shape to allow for enough room for the tyre and chainring.

Chainrings up to 56T (47.5mm chainline) can be used.

The BB86 pressfit BB interface provides us with sufficient width to combine tyre clearance with a voluminous BB area for drivetrain stiffness as well as a smooth transition to the aero downtube. Ridley uses BB86 on almost all of its carbon fiber bikes for many years already and our experience shows that this is a very reliable BB standard.

We choose this location because of reliability. Moving the water bottle mount away from the door means that there is less stress and strain on the door. This reduces the chance of a malfunction of the door. Also in case of a door malfunction the water bottle carrying capacity is not impacted which is crucial in modern day racing where fueling and hydration are key parameters. The position at the bottom results in a lower center of gravity by having the additional weight of the loaded pouches as close to the BB as possible. 

Yes, this pack fits all Ridley bikes (carbon and aluminium) with top tube mounting points. The article code of this pack is STOTTPRID003 and it’s available through Ridley dealers. Ridley also offers a bigger top tube pack for more carrying capacity that also fits all Ridley models with top tube mounts (article code STOTTPRID002).

Complete bike weight (size S, without pedals): 

• SRAM RED XPLR – DT Swiss GRC1400: 8,45 kg 

• SRAM Force XPLR – Forza Skiron RS: 8,8 kg

We have three reasons for selecting BB86 as our standard BB shell on carbon fiber frames. 

1. BB86 is a wide BB shell (86mm compared to 68mm for BSA), this gives us more surface area to work with to combine wide tire clearance, short chainstay lengths and chainring clearance. Additionally it adds volume to the BB area increasing the stiffness. A T47 shell with the same width requires internal cups that have a very narrow tool interface. This makes installation and service of these T47 inboard BBs much more difficult, negating the benefits of a threaded BB. 
2. BB86 is a proven pressfit standard with very few issues in frame manufacturing and frame durability. 
3. We strive to standardize where possible, making it easier for our dealers and ourselves to keep inventory of spare parts which increases our operational efficiency. This also means that spare parts are readily available and no special tools are required.
