GO FURTHER. RIDE ANYTHING.

The Ridley Kanzo Adventure SRAM Force XPLR is built for the rides where the route becomes a suggestion rather than a rule. Fast enough to cover serious distance, capable enough to tackle genuinely demanding off-road terrain and equipped to carry everything you need for the journey, this is Ridley's ultimate adventure gravel machine.

From huge days exploring remote gravel roads to multi-day bikepacking, ultra-distance events and technical trails, the Kanzo Adventure has been engineered to take you beyond the limits of a conventional gravel bike. Its carbon chassis, progressive geometry, huge tyre clearance and extensive mounting options create a bike that gives you the confidence to keep going long after the smooth gravel has disappeared.

Paired with SRAM Force XPLR 1x13, a power meter and DT Swiss GRC1600 carbon wheels, this specification combines serious adventure capability with premium performance. It's built to cover ground quickly, climb efficiently and remain composed when your carefully planned gravel route turns into something considerably more interesting.

ADVENTURE WITHOUT LIMITS

The Kanzo Adventure is designed for riders who don't want to be restricted by terrain. Ridley's Kanzo Optimized Geometry gives the bike a distinctly progressive character, borrowing some of the stability and confidence normally associated with a mountain bike while retaining the efficiency and speed of a drop-bar gravel machine.

A slack 70.5-degree head angle on the larger sizes, low bottom bracket, longer wheelbase and steep seat angle work together to create a planted, confidence-inspiring riding position. Pair this with a shorter stem and the Kanzo Adventure remains responsive and controllable when the terrain becomes tight and technical.

The result is a bike that's equally happy powering across endless gravel roads, descending loose mountain tracks or picking its way through technical singletrack. When the terrain gets rough, the Kanzo Adventure doesn't feel like it's reached its limit. It encourages you to keep going.

29 X 2.1" TYRE CLEARANCE – READY FOR SERIOUS TERRAIN

Huge tyre clearance is one of the defining features of the Kanzo Adventure. The frame can accommodate tyres up to 29 x 2.1", pushing its capability far beyond what you'd expect from a conventional gravel bike.

That clearance gives you enormous freedom when configuring the bike. Run faster gravel tyres when speed and efficiency are the priority, or move towards mountain-bike-sized rubber when your adventures take you onto rough tracks, rocky trails and unpredictable terrain.

Generous clearance around the fork crown and bottom bracket also leaves additional room for mud, making the Kanzo Adventure a formidable option for year-round exploration and genuinely challenging conditions.

The Force XPLR build comes equipped with 50mm Continental Terra Trail tubeless-ready tyres, providing an excellent balance of rolling speed, grip, cushioning and off-road confidence straight out of the box.

SRAM FORCE XPLR 1X13 – PREMIUM GRAVEL PERFORMANCE

SRAM Force XPLR 1x13 takes the Kanzo Adventure's drivetrain to another level. The dedicated gravel system combines the simplicity and reliability of a single chainring with an exceptionally broad range of closely spaced gears.

A 42-tooth chainring works with SRAM's 10–46T 13-speed cassette to provide the gearing needed for everything from fast gravel roads to steep, fully loaded off-road climbs. Wireless electronic shifting delivers fast, precise gear changes while removing conventional shift cables from the cockpit.

The Force XPLR crankset also incorporates a spindle-based power meter, giving you accurate performance data without compromising the beautifully clean appearance of the bike. Whether you're pacing an ultra-distance event, managing your effort across a huge climbing day or simply tracking your training, it's a genuinely useful addition to an already premium build.

SRAM hydraulic disc brakes provide powerful, predictable stopping performance and excellent modulation, giving you the confidence to control the bike on steep and technical descents.

DT SWISS GRC1600 CARBON WHEELS

A bike this capable deserves a wheelset to match. The Kanzo Adventure Force XPLR is equipped with DT Swiss GRC1600 carbon wheels, combining a 50mm rim depth with a 24mm internal rim width.

The carbon wheelset helps bring a genuine performance edge to the Kanzo Adventure, providing responsive acceleration and efficient speed on faster sections while remaining suited to high-volume gravel tyres.

Combined with the 50mm Continental Terra Trail tyres, the result is a bike capable of carrying serious speed across open gravel while still providing the grip, cushioning and control needed when the terrain becomes considerably rougher.

BUILT FOR BIKEPACKING

The Kanzo Adventure isn't simply capable of carrying luggage – the frame has been specifically designed around it.

Multiple mounting points across the frame and fork allow you to create a setup tailored to your ride. Bottles, tool storage, cargo cages, mudguards, fork bags and top-tube luggage can all be incorporated without turning the bike into an improvised collection of straps and adapters.

Hidden top-tube mounting points keep the frame looking clean when they're not being used, while Ridley's integrated cable routing keeps cables away from frame bags and luggage.

The fork also incorporates internal dynamo cable routing, making the Kanzo Adventure particularly well suited to ultra-distance riding and extended bikepacking trips where reliable, self-sufficient lighting can become essential.

Whether you're packing light for a huge single-day mission or loading up for several days in the mountains, the Kanzo Adventure gives you the platform to build exactly the bike the journey demands.

HEADLINE SPECIFICATION

KANZO OPTIMIZED GEOMETRY

The Kanzo Adventure's geometry has been developed specifically for adventure gravel riding. A slack front end, longer wheelbase and low bottom bracket provide stability and confidence across difficult terrain, while the steeper seat angle and shorter cockpit help preserve responsive handling and an efficient pedalling position.

WHEN THE GRAVEL RUNS OUT, KEEP GOING

The real appeal of the Kanzo Adventure is the freedom it gives you. You don't need to know exactly what lies around the next corner, because the bike has been designed to deal with it.

Smooth gravel turns into broken tracks. Broken tracks become rocky trails. The weather changes, the mud gets deeper and the route you planned disappears into the distance. This is exactly where the Kanzo Adventure comes into its own.

Its progressive geometry and huge tyre capacity deliver serious off-road confidence, while the carbon chassis, SRAM Force XPLR drivetrain and DT Swiss carbon wheels ensure it still feels fast and rewarding when you put the power down.

It's capable enough for technical trails, efficient enough for huge distances and adaptable enough to become anything from a fast Sunday gravel bike to a fully loaded, self-sufficient bikepacking machine.

THE BOTTOM LINE

The Ridley Kanzo Adventure SRAM Force XPLR is for riders who look at the end of the road and wonder what's beyond it.

With its Elite Series carbon frame, progressive adventure geometry, enormous 29 x 2.1" tyre clearance, extensive luggage mounts, dynamo compatibility and premium SRAM Force XPLR 1x13 drivetrain, it's a bike designed to remove limitations rather than create them.

Add the integrated power meter, DT Swiss GRC1600 carbon wheels and 50mm Continental tyres and you have a seriously high-performance adventure bike – one capable of covering huge distances at speed before taking on terrain where many gravel bikes would have already turned around.

Race it. Bikepack it. Load it up. Take it into the mountains. Follow the trail until it disappears and then keep going.
