Honed for 'Cross

Cyclocross, for most of us, is the off-season sport. Competition is friendly, the beer is good, and the bacon-cupcake hand-ups even better. The X-Fire 10 Disc is the ideal frame for the weekend cyclocross warrior who desires a steadfast steed and durable components. Ridley enjoyed such success with last year's revisions of its X-Fire cyclocross frames that it kept the same design and premise for this season and focused  on mating each frame with the best match of components and accessories. 


At first glance you'll notice some pretty big aesthetic differences between the X-Night and the X-Fire. Most obvious, the X-Fire features beefier tubing than the X-night. The X-Fire frame was built from 24T carbon fiber. If you're a carbon aficionado, you know that the T stands for "ton," and that the designation means that the fiber is able to withstand 24 tons of pressure per-square-inch. And while this may seem a bit of overkill for a bicycle, by using stronger carbon, Ridley is able to use less, and less carbon means a lighter bike frame. And with the strength of the 24T carbon, you're ensured a frame with increased torsional and lateral rigidity. The shape of the tubing itself was designed with the 'cross rider in mind. Knowing that regardless of how honed your skills are, chances are you'll be shouldering your bike a few times, both the top tube and down tube have been squared at the bottom edge for enhanced grip. This shaping stiffens the bottom bracket juncture which, in turn, means more effective transfer of power to the drivetrain so that months of building up your power in the summer months doesn't go to waste.


Now that all but the fastest of pros are making the switch to disc brakes, the X-Fire comes ready to handle the stresses imposed by load forces from the disc brakes. Ridley did this by using its full carbon 4ZA Oryx fork. This fork utilizes a reinforced lower leg design which prevents lurching or torsion from the calipers. Additionally, the oversized blades help x to absorb chatter on rough terrain. The fork is integrated into the frame with an over-sized 1-1/8 x 1-1/2inch steerer tube mated to an over-sized head tube juncture for even more precise handling and explosive power for short sprints.


Ridley built the X-Fire 10 with a combination of components that best showcase the cyclocross-specific properties of the frame. Shimano Ultegra 11-Speed graces the shifters and rear derailluer. This groupset is known as the workhorse of the Shimano line. While it doesn't have the carbon bling and titanium bolts, it features smooth, accurate shifting and durable moving parts. 


Mated to this is an FSA crankset with a PressFit30 Bottom bracket. The 46/36 chainring combination works with the 11-28 rear cassette to provide a full range of gears to take you through any course. To stop you efficiently, Avid BB7 mechanical disc brakes with 160mm/140mm rotors were included. The bike rolls on CX-Disc wheels with 32mm Challenge Grifo tires. Completing the build is a full regiment of Ridley's 4ZA components: saddle, stem, and handlebars. For added protection from the elements, and for unencumbered dis/remounts, Ridley incorporated internal cable routing for the shift cables and the rear brake line.


The Ridley X-Fire 10 Disc Complete Cyclocross Bike is available in sizes 41cm and 48-58cm. It comes in Red/white/black. As Ridley frames tend to run on the large side, please use top-tube measurement to ensure the best fit.
