NEXT-GENERATION GRAVEL SPEED

The all-new Ridley Kanzo Fast 2.0 SRAM Rival XPLR brings Ridley's latest gravel race technology into an incredibly capable performance package. Combining advanced aerodynamics, progressive race geometry, massive 58mm tyre clearance and SRAM's latest 13-speed Rival XPLR drivetrain, this is a gravel bike created for riders who want to go seriously fast.

The original Kanzo Fast helped redefine what an aerodynamic gravel bike could be. The Kanzo Fast 2.0 takes that philosophy considerably further, bringing Ridley's latest aerodynamic technology into a completely redesigned platform developed around the bigger tyres, higher speeds and increasingly demanding terrain of modern gravel racing.

Fast across open gravel, stable when the surface gets rough and responsive when you put the power down, the Kanzo Fast 2.0 is designed to turn every watt into forward speed.

AERO MEETS GRAVEL

Aerodynamics matter in gravel racing. Average speeds continue to rise and riders are spending more time pushing significant power into the wind, making aerodynamic efficiency increasingly important.

Ridley has brought its third-generation aerodynamic technology, developed through the Noah Fast, directly into the Kanzo Fast 2.0. Crucially, the aerodynamic profiles have been developed around the much larger tyres now being used for high-performance gravel riding.

Wide tyres normally create additional aerodynamic drag, but the Kanzo Fast 2.0's optimised frame shapes are designed to help offset this penalty. The result is a bike that combines the grip, comfort, control and rolling efficiency of high-volume tyres with the speed and efficiency of a dedicated aerodynamic race platform.

When the gravel opens up and the speed starts climbing, get low, put the power down and let the Kanzo Fast 2.0 do what it was designed to do.

58MM TYRE CLEARANCE – BIGGER TYRES. MORE SPEED.

One of the defining features of the Kanzo Fast 2.0 is its enormous tyre clearance. The frame provides clearance for tyres up to 58mm, equivalent to approximately 29x2.3", giving this aerodynamic gravel race bike genuine mountain-bike levels of tyre volume.

High-volume tyres aren't simply about additional comfort. On rough gravel they can provide increased traction, improved control and excellent rolling efficiency, allowing you to maintain momentum across terrain where narrower tyres can begin to struggle.

The huge clearance also gives you the freedom to tune the Kanzo Fast 2.0 around the course ahead. Run narrower, faster tyres for smooth gravel or take advantage of the frame's massive capacity when the terrain becomes loose, broken and technical. Narrower tyres also leave huge amounts of additional mud clearance for wet-weather racing.

This Rival XPLR specification comes equipped with huge 55mm Vittoria Terreno T30 tubeless-ready tyres, taking full advantage of the Kanzo Fast 2.0's big-tyre philosophy straight out of the box.

PROGRESSIVE PERFORMANCE GEOMETRY

The Kanzo Fast 2.0 isn't simply an aerodynamic update. Its geometry has been completely revised around the larger tyres and higher speeds of contemporary gravel racing.

A steeper seat angle positions the rider further forward over the bike, making it easier to maintain an efficient aerodynamic position during long, high-power efforts. An 80mm bottom bracket drop helps compensate for the increased tyre volume and lowers the rider within the bike, increasing stability as speeds rise.

Fork geometry has also been optimised around the larger wheel radius, helping retain the precise and responsive steering expected from a genuine performance bike.

Short 425mm chainstays preserve the immediate acceleration and lively character of the Kanzo Fast, while the longer overall wheelbase provides the stability and confidence needed to keep pushing across loose and unpredictable surfaces.

The result is a bike that feels fast when you accelerate, composed when you're flat-out and confidence-inspiring when smooth gravel turns into something considerably rougher.

SRAM RIVAL XPLR 1X13 – MODERN GRAVEL PERFORMANCE

SRAM Rival XPLR 1x13 is an ideal match for the Kanzo Fast 2.0, delivering the simplicity of a dedicated 1x gravel drivetrain with the range and closely spaced ratios of a modern 13-speed system.

A 42T Rival XPLR chainring is paired with SRAM's XG-1351 10–46T 13-speed cassette, providing an impressive spread of gears for everything from steep gravel climbs to rapid sections of open road and hard-packed gravel.

Wireless electronic shifting provides clean, precise gear changes without conventional shift cables, helping create an uncluttered cockpit while reducing drivetrain complexity.

SRAM hydraulic disc brakes provide powerful and predictable braking with excellent modulation, allowing you to brake with confidence when attacking technical descents or loose corners.

The Kanzo Fast 2.0 itself is a dedicated 1x platform and can accommodate chainrings up to 56T, giving riders enormous scope to tailor their gearing for the terrain ahead.

FORZA SKIRON 50 – AERO CARBON PERFORMANCE

The Rival XPLR build is equipped with Forza Skiron 50 wheels, giving the bike a proper performance wheelset straight out of the box.

The 50mm-deep carbon rims complement the aerodynamic frame profile of the Kanzo Fast 2.0, helping create a package designed to hold speed when you're pushing hard across fast gravel and open roads.

DT Swiss 370 hubs provide proven performance at the centre of the wheelset, while tubeless-ready construction allows you to take full advantage of modern high-volume gravel tyres and lower operating pressures.

Combined with the massive 55mm Vittoria Terreno T30 tyres, the result is an extremely modern gravel setup – deep aerodynamic wheels paired with huge-volume rubber.

You get the speed you want when the course is fast and the grip, cushioning and control you need when the surface deteriorates.

CLEAN INTEGRATED COCKPIT

The Kanzo Fast 2.0 Rival XPLR continues the bike's aerodynamic philosophy with Ridley's 4ZA CIP Integrated 2.0 cockpit.

Clean cable integration gives the front of the bike a purposeful, uncluttered appearance while keeping cables away from the airflow. The result is a modern cockpit that complements the aerodynamic design of the frameset and keeps the Kanzo Fast 2.0 looking every bit the dedicated gravel race machine.

It's clean, aggressive and performance focused – exactly what you'd expect from one of Ridley's fastest gravel platforms.

INTERNAL FRAME STORAGE

The Kanzo Fast 2.0 proves that an aerodynamic race bike can still be practical. A discreet storage compartment built into the downtube provides space for essential ride equipment such as a spare tube, multitool or CO₂ cartridge without compromising the clean aerodynamic profile of the frame.

The bike is supplied with two padded storage pouches in different sizes, allowing you to adjust your loadout depending on the ride or race. They can be used separately or together, while the padding helps prevent annoying rattling inside the frame.

Ridley has deliberately positioned the storage low in the downtube, keeping the additional weight close to the bottom bracket and therefore low within the bike.

Your essential repair kit stays permanently on the bike, your jersey pockets stay free and the aerodynamic silhouette remains beautifully clean.

BUILT TO RACE IN THE REAL WORLD

The Kanzo Fast 2.0 may have been developed around racing, but gravel doesn't always mean sunshine, dust and perfect conditions.

Integrated top-tube mounts allow a low-profile bag to be fitted for nutrition and race essentials, while compatibility with Ridley's dedicated Curana mudguard system means the bike can also become an extremely capable winter training machine. When mudguards are installed, maximum tyre clearance is reduced to 47mm.

The bike can also accommodate lightweight fast-packing setups, giving it useful versatility for riders who occasionally want to go beyond the race course without sacrificing its fundamentally performance-focused character.

HEADLINE SPECIFICATION

PERFORMANCE GEOMETRY

HIGH-END FRAME. ACCESSIBLE RACE BUILD.

The real attraction of the Rival XPLR version is that the heart of the bike remains the same Kanzo Fast 2.0 Elite Series platform found further up the range.

You still get Ridley's Ultra HM carbon frameset, advanced aerodynamic development, progressive performance geometry, internal frame storage and enormous 58mm tyre clearance. You're not stepping down to a less capable chassis – you're getting the technology that defines the Kanzo Fast 2.0 paired with a carefully selected Rival XPLR build.

SRAM Rival XPLR 1x13 brings wireless electronic shifting and a huge usable gear range, while the 50mm Forza Skiron wheels provide the aerodynamic carbon-wheel performance this frameset deserves.

Most importantly, the specification allows you to experience what makes the Kanzo Fast 2.0 special – the combination of aerodynamic speed and genuinely huge tyres.

BUILT FOR THE NEW ERA OF GRAVEL

Modern gravel is getting faster, but it's also getting rougher. That creates a very different challenge for the bike.

The Kanzo Fast 2.0 has been designed around that reality. Instead of forcing riders to choose between aerodynamic efficiency and high-volume tyres, Ridley has developed a platform capable of exploiting both.

When the surface is fast, the aerodynamic frame and deep-section wheels encourage you to hold speed. When the gravel becomes rough, the huge tyres, progressive geometry and low bottom bracket give you the control and confidence to stay off the brakes and maintain momentum.

That's where the Kanzo Fast 2.0 becomes seriously exciting.

It's not simply designed to be fast on perfect gravel. It's designed to stay fast when the gravel is anything but perfect.

THE BOTTOM LINE

The Ridley Kanzo Fast 2.0 SRAM Rival XPLR brings the fundamental performance of Ridley's latest-generation gravel race platform into a brilliantly balanced package.

You get the Ultra HM carbon chassis, advanced aerodynamics, progressive geometry and huge 58mm tyre clearance that define the Kanzo Fast 2.0, combined with SRAM Rival XPLR 1x13 wireless shifting, deep 50mm Forza Skiron wheels and massive 55mm Vittoria Terreno tyres.

It's aerodynamic enough to reward every watt when the speed rises, yet capable enough to attack rough terrain with the confidence normally associated with a far more off-road-focused machine.

Race it. Train on it. Upgrade it over time. Or simply point it towards your fastest local gravel loop and see exactly how hard you can push.

This isn't a compromised version of the Kanzo Fast 2.0. It's the same cutting-edge gravel race platform with a smart, performance-focused specification.
