No frame manufacturer has a deeper 'cross heritage than Ridley, and with the Crossbow they provide a more affordable way than ever before to own one of their revered 'cross bikes. While the $700 frameset price makes it a superb value, it's built to perform on even the harshest, most technical courses. Its double-butted 7005 aluminum tubeset keeps it nicely light for run-ups (it weighs in at a mere 3.5lbs), with oversized tube diameters to provide loads of stiffness when you put it under the stress of high-torque/low-cadence efforts.

The Crossbow comes standard with the Ridley 4ZA Zornyc carbon fiber fork and an FSA integrated 1-1/8" headset. It's available in even sizes from 48cm-60cm in a White/Black paint scheme with World Championship Rainbow accents. It requires a 31.6mm seatpost, a 34.9mm front derailleur. It has a 5-year warranty from manufacturing defect.
