X-Night SL Disc
The X-Night SL Disc is our top cyclocross bike, repeatedly ridden to victory by pro Belgian CX team Pauwels Sauzen-Bingoal.
The versatile X-Night excels in fast, dry races as well as sand races where balance, finesse and fast cornering are crucial. It also shines on very muddy and hilly terrains where it lets you tap into every watt of power.
Its specific geometry is uniquely designed for 60 minutes of acceleration, braking, cornering, hopping barriers and shouldering the bike thanks to its horizontal, flattened top tube.
Due to the patented F-Steerer technology, all cables are integrated into the frame. This keeps the front of the frame mud-free, even in the worst conditions, so you can go an extra lap without having to change bikes.
F-Steerer
Cables at the front of your bike have a major impact on its aerodynamic performance. On the flipside, getting rid of cables at the front has an aero advantage of a whopping 10 to 14%, depending on the bike.
That's why our R&D department dedicated much time and effort into developing the D-shaped steerer tube, which integrates all front-end cables.
This uniquely shaped steerer tube allows all cables to pass through the handlebar and stem, along the flat front area of the steerer tube and down into the frame. Here the cables are completely hidden from the wind - and from your eye, leaving you with a clean looking bike that wins you speed.

Ridley Elite Carbon
Our carbon is manufactured by world market leader: Toray. The Japanese manufacturer is leader in every aspect of carbon development and supplier to absolute top world brands in many industries. For the Elite Series, we use every type of available carbon: 60T, 50T, 30T and 24T.
The higher the 'Ton', the higher the tensile strength of the carbon fibers and the more intensive the development and processing. With 60T, you may need fewer layers of carbon to achieve the desired stiffness as well as the lightest possible bike, but if you built the whole frame with 60T you'd have a very uncomfortable, over-responsive ride. Hence, a mix of 24T, 30T, 50T and 60T carbon is essential as each carbon serves a certain purpose in perfectly balancing stiffness, weight and comfort.
Each bike's unique carbon mix is dependent on its purpose, such as climbing, endurance, etc. In addition, each area of each frame requires its own unique mix depending on its function such as to provide comfort or stiffness. It is here, in the unique carbon compositions, where Ridley makes the difference!
