About Falcn RS 2.0
Built around weight, developed for performance. The all-new FALCN RS 2.0 is Ridley’s latest lightweight road race platform, combining a 705 g carbon frame with refined aerodynamics and progressive race geometry. The bike was developed in close collaboration with Uno-X Mobility and tested at WorldTour level.
The 12% weight reduction compared with the previous generation was achieved by revisiting the carbon lay-up, strategically redistributing material and removing unnecessary overlap. At the same time, lateral stiffness remains at the level expected from a modern aero race bike. The components were selected according to the same philosophy, including a lightweight aero seatpost and integrated Nimbus Pro cockpit.
The geometry was developed based on feedback from Uno-X riders, bike fitters and thousands of kilometres of WorldTour racing. The 76° seat tube angle places the rider more centrally over the bottom bracket, while the longer reach and higher stack create a more open hip angle. The lower bottom bracket contributes to greater stability at higher speeds.
The result is a modern race bike that feels light and reactive without compromising aerodynamic efficiency, stability or comfort. In its lightest configuration, the complete FALCN RS 2.0 weighs just 6.2 kg, while its Aero-to-Weight approach keeps the bike competitive on flat and rolling roads as well.
AERO-TO-WEIGHT
A lightweight bike climbs faster. An aerodynamic bike stays faster. The FALCN RS 2.0 combines both characteristics in a single platform. By combining an ultra-light 705-gram frame with refined aerodynamic tube profiles and fully integrated components, the FALCN RS 2.0 delivers the ideal balance for modern road racing. Whether the route heads into the mountains, over rolling terrain or across the flats, the bike is engineered to perform at its best in every situation.
APPROVED BY THE YELLOW JERSEY
Even before its official launch, the FALCN RS 2.0 had already made its mark on Tour de France history. Torstein Træen rode the new bike while wearing the yellow jersey and perfectly summed up his experience:
"The FALCN RS impressed me from the very first ride. It's incredibly responsive, remarkably stable, and inspires confidence in every situation—from steep climbs to fast descents. Without a doubt, it's one of the best bikes I've ever ridden."
During the development process, Ridley's engineers worked closely with the riders, bike fitters, and performance staff of Uno-X Mobility. Their feedback formed the foundation of the new geometry, the bike's handling characteristics, and the continued optimization of the frame.
MODERN RACE GEOMETRY
The geometry of the FALCN RS 2.0 reflects the evolution of modern road racing. A steeper 76° seat tube angle, longer reach, higher stack and lower bottom bracket create a more efficient pedalling position, increased stability and a modern riding posture. Thanks to extensive feedback from Uno-X Mobility, the geometry is perfectly tuned to the demands of today's riders.
12% LIGHTER
The FALCN RS 2.0 was completely redesigned with one clear objective: reduce weight without compromising stiffness or ride quality. Thanks to a fully optimised carbon lay-up, reduced overlap between carbon layers and innovative solutions such as hollow rear brake mounts, the frameset is 12% lighter than the previous generation. The result is a frame weighing just 705 grams in size Medium.
LIGHTWEIGHT AERO SEATPOST
The FALCN RS 2.0 features a newly developed lightweight aero seatpost weighing just 100 grams. By relocating the Di2 battery from the seatpost to the downtube, Ridley was able to create a slimmer and lighter seatpost while maintaining full functionality. Its aerodynamic profile complements the frame’s aero-to-weight design, while the integrated lightweight seatpost clamp provides clean frame integration. The result is a seatpost that contributes to the low overall weight without sacrificing the aerodynamic efficiency of the bike.
LIGHTWEIGHT RACE SETUP
The FALCN RS 2.0 is built with a carefully selected race setup focused on keeping weight to a minimum without compromising performance. Lightweight TPU inner tubes are paired with lightweight Vittoria Corsa PRO Speed tyres, while the Selle Italia SLR Racing Replica L3 saddle further contributes to the low overall weight. The bike is finished with lightweight performance wheelsets and the aerodynamic Nimbus Pro Cockpit, ensuring that every component contributes to the bike’s responsive ride feel. The result is a complete race setup designed to maximise the advantages of the FALCN RS 2.0 platform.
NIMBUS PRO COCKPIT
RIDLEY ELITE SERIES CARBON
At the heart of the FALCN RS 2.0 is the Elite Series carbon frame. Every section of the frame is engineered with the optimal blend of premium Toray carbon fibres to achieve the perfect balance of stiffness, weight and durability. By completely redesigning the carbon lay-up, Ridley removed material where it wasn't needed while fully preserving the frame's stiffness and long-term durability. This meticulous engineering results in a frame weighing just 705 grams—without compromise.

34 MM TIRE CLEARANCE
Professional riders are increasingly choosing wider tires. The FALCN RS 2.0 offers clearance for tires up to 34 mm, allowing lower tire pressures for improved grip, greater comfort and reduced rolling resistance—without compromising the bike's speed. From smooth tarmac to rough roads and cobblestones, the FALCN RS 2.0 feels at home everywhere.

How can we help?
The frame needs a 12mm TA with a thread of 1mm (article code QRET124ZA046)
The Falcn RS 2.0 uses the SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH). This means you will find easily a replacement hanger wherever you are as it is a standardised hanger (article code HANUDHSRA001)
We use a BB86 press-fit bottom bracket standard on the Kanzo Fast.
The integrated seatpost clamp (Ridley article code SPCAER4ZA012) is designed for the aero seatpost of the Falcn RS 2.0
The tire cleance of the Falcn RS 2.0 is 35mm, actual width. This means the actual width of the tire on the rim. This can be different from the size mentionned on the tire.
The Falcn RS 2.0 uses a headset with a 1 1/8'' (IS42/28.6 )upper bearing and 1 1/4'' (IS47/33) lower bearing.
The Falcn RS 2.0 has a slim, ligthweight aero seatpost. For this reason we have changed the position of the DI2 battery to the downtube, close to the bottom bracket. The battery is accessible through the bottom bracket.
