Noah FAST 7E8 Force AXS NF301Am(M)

The integrated seatpost clamp (Ridley article code SPCAER4ZA007) is designed for the aero seatpost of the Noah Fast and Noah.

We have developped a specific aero integrated cockpit for the Noah Fast. The cockpit has different stem lengths and a width at the shifters of 360mm center-center and 400mm center-center in the drops for an optimised aero position. To find your perfect position we introduce also 3 different stem stack options (55, 75 and 100mm). This allows you to ride with less or without stemspacers and find your perfect position on the bike. 

The Noah Fast / Noah uses a progressive performance geometry. This means we use a steeper seat tube angle to have a more central position on the bike. To find your frame size, you should compare the actual toptube length of your current bike and compare it with the Noah (Fast) instead of using the "reach" number in the geometry chart. For a detailed bike fit, we advice to contact your local dealer.

The maximum torque to fix the seatpost clamp is 10Nm, like mentionned on the clamp

The frame uses a 1 1/8" upper bearing (IS42/28.6 45°/45°) and 1 1/2" lower bearing (IS52/40 45°/45°)

The tire cleance of the Falcn RS is 34mm, actual width. This means the actual width of the tire on the rim. This can be different from the size mentionned on the tire.

No the frame is only compatible with electronic groupsets of Shimano and Sram.

We use a BB86 press-fit bottom bracket standard on the Fenix SLiC, Fenix Disc, Kanzo Adventure, Kanzo Fast, Grifn, Falcn RS, Falcn, Noah Fast and Noah

The 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 (Ridley article code HANUDHSRA001)

The frame needs a 12mm TA with a thread of 1mm (Ridley article code QRET124ZA046)

We have added a rotation stopper in frame bearing cover interface. This rotation stopper will protect your frame from the impact of the cockpit in case of a crash.

The Noah (Fast) has a steeper seattube angle of 75° in size M, compared to 73° on the previous Noah (Fast). This steeper seattube angle follows the latest trend we see in profesionnal cycling where riders want to ride in a more forward position on the bike, closer to the bottom bracket. This position allows the rider to push in a more efficient way on the pedals by a more open hip angle. From a geometry perspective, we have kept the actual top tube length the same, compared to the previous Noah so the distance between the saddle and cockpit remains the same.

The Noah (Fast) has a steeper seat tube angle (75° in size M vs 73°) compared to the previous Noah (Fast), but the same actual top tube length. The result of this steeper seat tube angle is that the reach number will increase as a bigger part of the actual top tube length will be in front of the bottombracket and a smaller part behind the bottom bracket. When comparing the sizing of the Noah (Fast) to other bikes, use the actual top tube length as a reference number to define your frame size.

With the development of the Nimbus Aero cockpit, we have introduced 2 new definitions for measuring our cockpits:

• Stem reach: this is the actual reach that the cockpit will add to your frame reach, measured from the center of the steerer to the center of the handlebar, in a horizontal way.
• Stem stack: this is the stack that the cockpit will add to the stack of the frame. We have 3 different stem stack options: 55, 75 and 100mm. This allows us to keep a neat, aero integration of the cockpit without adding too much spacers under cockpit. There is still the option to add 20mm spacers under the cockpit to finetune your position.
• On our stock bikes, we are using the 75mm stem stack option of the cockpit. In the configurator there is the option to select the other options.

The new cockpit definitions of stem stack and stem reach will help you to find the perfect position on the bike.

• Total reach of the bike: distance of the nose of the saddle behind the bottom bracket + frame reach + stem reach.
• Total stack of the bike: frame stack + spacers + stem stack
