The wait is over for a ProTour-level build from the masterminds at Ridley. After carefully selecting their renowned carbon Fenix frameset as a starting platform, they built up the machine using a sound blend of some of the best components available. With a top-shelf Campy drivetrain, Deda cockpit, and Fulcrum wheels, the new Fenix/Campagnolo Record Complete Road Bike is ready for your most demanding races.


Starting with the frame, Ridley tuned the Fenix to combine the best attributes of its Damocles and Excalibur lines. But, you're probably wondering what exactly these are? Well, starting with strength, Ridley incorporated the same Sharp Edge tube design that was developed for its first carbon frame, the Damocles. Essentially, the engineering ideology at work here is that of form following function. If you've ever taken a gander at Ridley's logo, you'll notice the Ridley "R" encased in the outline of a diamond. This isn't just a flamboyant demonstration of Belgian wealth and prosperity. In fact, it's a representation of Ridley's design philosophy — taking cues from natural, proven designs. Accordingly, Ridley has designed the oversized carbon tubing with the shape of the diamond in mind. The "sharp edge" means that the focused areas of the carbon layup are at the edges of the tubing. This not only guarantees a high level of strength and impact resistance, but it also translates to a lightweight composition. So, like the Damocles, the strength lies at the forefront, but with pages taken from the svelte Excalibur, the Fenix's strength-to-weight ratio goes off the charts.


Ridley also placed a focus on lowering the overall weight, while increasing stability and comfort. Accordingly, the Fenix has been constructed from a 24-ton, high modulus carbon fiber. This means that the carbon is designed to withstand 24 tons of pressure per square millimeter. So, the stronger the carbon fiber, the less material needs to be used. And the less material used means a lower overall frame weight. However, the light carbon design also translates to heightened levels of rigidity, which directly lends itself to an efficient power transfer to the rear triangle. Complementing this attribute are the Fenix's asymmetrical chainstays, oversized tube junctures, a press fit BB30 bottom bracket, and a tapered, 1.125 x 1.5in head tube.


For comfort, the Fenix features a tapered design down the seatstays that thin towards the middle before regaining their original size at the axle. Essentially, this creates a forced flex area for shock absorption on rough roads. And further along these lines, Ridley also gave the frame a medium-height head tube for increased vibration absorption and a comfortable position in the saddle. However, this isn't to say that this is a cushy gran fondo design. In fact, Mr. Greipel and the Lotto-Belisol riders opted to ride the Fenix for the 2013 season. The tall, tapered head tube also permits a high level of stability, maneuvering, and control across the gamut of speed. These features are further accentuated by the use of Ridley's tried and true 4ZA carbon fiber fork.


For the build, Ridley spec'd the Fenix with a full Campagnolo Record groupset. The crankset is the Record 50/34t compact, paired with a 12-25t cassette out back. For the cockpit, the build features a Deda 35 handlebar and stem. Topping the post is a Selle San Marco saddle, and in terms of wheels, the bike rolls on a pair of Fulcrum Racing 5 wheels that've been cased in Continental's proven GP4000 tires.


The Ridley Fenix/Campagnolo Record Complete Bike - 2014 is available in five sizes from X-Small to X-Large and in the color White.
