Get improved stopping power without compromising race-ready speed with Ridley's 2015 Fenix Disc Road Bike Frame. Harnessing the versatility we loved in the original Fenix, this version trades out rim-brake caliper mounts for post-mount disc brake attachments to bring you confident modulation to manage your speed. No matter your ride plans, you'll clip in knowing you're riding with a famed blend of long-mile comfort and snappy handling that will manage whatever roads lie ahead.
The Fenix's versatility expands beyond the pavement to multi-surface excursions thanks to Ridley's artful layup of vibration devouring unidirectional carbon fibers. While the super stiff, purely featherweight-focused frames in Ridley's line use up to 60-ton moduli, the Fenix utilizes 24-ton carbon to strike a balance between road smoothing compliance and rigid efficiency. Potholes, cobblestones, and other road hazards that would otherwise feel like jarring punches on a 60-ton carbon take on all the disagreeability of crosswalk paint. Just in case you ever do get tired of wantonly throwing your tires over road obstacles, the stiff, tapered head tube provides responsive steering to dodge through debris with ease.
Compared to the original Fenix, the Fenix Disc also has a slightly longer wheelbase. While this difference is more pronounced in the smallest sizes, even the bigger frames benefit from a more stable wheelbase for loose gravel and packed dirt roads. The adventure-minded cyclist will also appreciate the Disc model's increased tire clearance, allowing up to 28mm tires for maximum plushness and reliability on everything from summer chipseal and sun-soaked logging roads to packed limestone paths. It can't compete with the massive tire clearance found on true gravel bikes, but the Fenix finds its balance by priding snappy handling and road speed at the expense of a few extra millimeters of clearance.
The beefy bottom bracket junction and burly chainstays work in harmony to address all your power transfer needs, ensuring that comfort doesn't come at the cost of speed-robbing flexibility during high-watt efforts. In a final nod to the balance of efficiency and comfort, the seat tube is squared-off at the bottom with gradually softening edges as it rises to the seat collar. This makes for less lateral flex where you're putting power into the road and a more compliant ride where the road is less that forgiving.
