Noah versus Noah Fast

Ridley has a long and proud history of building aerodynamic racing bikes. From the beginning, the Belgian brand supplied equipment to top riders such as Robbie McEwen and André Greipel, who achieved great results on Ridley bikes at the highest levels of cycling. Now in its third generation, the Noah range has always been a benchmark in aerodynamics and speed.

The Noah Fast puts aerodynamics above all. Developed from a blank slate and fully compliant with the latest UCI rules. At 50 km/h it is 8.5 watts more efficient than its predecessor. Every detail is designed to outsmart the wind as efficiently as possible. From the long slender tube profiles to the integrated aero cockpit, everything is optimized for maximum speed.

The Noah adopts much of that technology but brings it in a more accessible package. It remains an aero racing bike at heart, but with a touch more freedom in component choice and riding position. That makes it more versatile and suitable for both competitive racers and performance-minded enthusiasts who don’t necessarily want an extremely aggressive setup.

One of the most visible differences is in the cockpit. On the Noah Fast everything is integrated. Cables disappear entirely inside the frame and the handlebars are aerodynamically shaped as one with the frame. This gives a clean look and concretely contributes to the bike’s aero profile.

The Noah gives you more choices. You can build it with a traditional handlebar and stem or still opt for an integrated cockpit. That makes it easier to maintain and simpler to adapt to your personal preferences. A benefit for those whose setup isn’t fully finalized or who enjoy tinkering with their bike.

The Noah Fast feels like a pure race bike. It's stiff, responsive and demands speed. Every movement is instantly translated into velocity. The geometry is sharp and the position aggressive. You feel like you’re riding the same material as the best pros. Ideal for those who want to get the maximum out of every ride or race.

The Noah offers a bit more playfulness. It’s still fast but feels more lively. With a touch more forgiveness in ride feel, without sacrificing speed or stiffness. On long rides, varied terrain or everyday use, that can make the difference and make it attractive to a wider group of riders.

The Noah Fast is for riders who leave nothing to chance. Cyclists who race, want to grab Strava KOMs or simply seek the fastest gear. It feels at home in competition and challenges you to give your all.

The Noah is for riders who value speed but also appreciate usability and flexibility. You don’t have to be a pro to enjoy aero. The Noah starts at €4,199. We want our fastest technology to be accessible not just to pros, but to every passionate cyclist. It’s a bike that invites you to ride more often, not just faster.

With the Noah Fast and the Noah, Ridley proves that aero bikes don’t have to be uniform. Both models share the same background but each chooses its own path.
