PURE AERO SPEED

The Ridley Noah 3.0 Shimano Ultegra Di2 brings genuine aero race-bike performance into a seriously impressive package. Sharing the same progressive race geometry and fundamental characteristics as the flagship Noah Fast, the Noah 3.0 combines an aerodynamic carbon chassis, aggressive riding position, deep-section carbon wheels and Shimano's superb Ultegra Di2 electronic groupset.

This is a bike created for speed. Fast club rides, road racing, criteriums, high-speed training and long days chasing personal bests are exactly where the Noah 3.0 comes alive. Put the power down and the bike responds with the sharp, purposeful character you'd expect from a machine carrying the Noah name.

Ridley's Noah platform also comes with serious racing heritage. Previous generations have been ridden to Tour de France stage victories by some of the fastest riders in professional cycling, and that pursuit of outright speed remains at the heart of the Noah 3.0.

AERODYNAMICS WITHOUT THE FLAGSHIP PRICE

The Noah 3.0 takes the essential ingredients of Ridley's flagship aero race platform and makes them available at a more accessible level.

Ridley uses its Essential Series carbon construction for the Noah 3.0, employing 24T and 30T carbon fibres to create the required stiffness and strength. The carbon lay-up differs from the lighter Noah Fast, but crucially the race-winning geometry and fundamental aerodynamic philosophy remain.

That makes the Noah 3.0 an incredibly compelling proposition. You're getting a bike developed around the same aggressive approach to aerodynamics, handling and rider positioning as Ridley's top-level aero machine, but in a package designed to deliver exceptional real-world performance and value.

This isn't an endurance bike dressed up to look fast. It's a genuine aero race bike.

PUSHING AERODYNAMICS TO THE LIMIT

Ridley developed the Noah around the latest UCI regulations governing aerodynamic tube profiles. The modern 8:1 rule allows frame tubes to be dramatically deeper relative to their width than under previous regulations, giving Ridley's engineers considerably more freedom when shaping the bike around aerodynamic performance.

The result can be seen throughout the Noah, particularly in its long, narrow fork and seatstay profiles. Everything has been designed around reducing aerodynamic resistance while maintaining the stiffness and handling characteristics demanded from a high-performance race bike.

The low front end further reduces the rider's frontal area, while clean cable integration keeps the cockpit uncluttered and helps create the purposeful appearance expected from a modern aero machine.

At speed, that's exactly where the Noah 3.0 earns its name. Get low, put the power down and let the bike cut through the air.

PROGRESSIVE RACING GEOMETRY

The Noah 3.0 uses Ridley's progressive performance geometry, designed around the increasingly aggressive positions preferred by modern professional riders.

A steeper seat tube angle moves the rider further forward, creating a more central position over the bike and opening the hip angle. This helps create an efficient position for sustained power delivery while making it easier to adopt an aggressive aerodynamic posture.

The head tube is deliberately low, allowing the rider to reduce frontal area and achieve the purposeful race position expected from an aero bike. A lowered bottom bracket helps compensate for the larger tyres increasingly used on modern road bikes while contributing to the Noah's planted high-speed character.

Short 407mm chainstays keep the bike sharp and responsive when accelerating, while the overall geometry creates the stability required when speeds start climbing.

Sprint out of the saddle and it feels immediate. Hit a fast descent and it feels planted. Settle onto the front of a fast group and the Noah feels exactly where it belongs.

SHIMANO ULTEGRA Di2 – RACE-PROVEN PERFORMANCE

Shimano Ultegra Di2 is an ideal match for the Noah 3.0, bringing much of the shifting technology and performance associated with Shimano's flagship road equipment into an exceptionally refined 12-speed groupset.

Electronic Di2 shifting provides fast, precise and consistent gear changes with minimal lever effort. Whether you're shifting under pressure during a sprint, changing gear on a climb or making tiny cadence adjustments while sitting in a fast-moving group, Ultegra Di2 responds immediately.

The 52/36T Ultegra crankset gives the Noah appropriately serious gearing for a high-performance aero bike, while the 11–30T 12-speed cassette provides a close progression through the gears with enough range for varied road riding.

Shimano's hydraulic disc braking completes the package, delivering powerful braking and excellent modulation in both wet and dry conditions. When you're carrying serious speed into a corner or descending quickly, that predictable braking performance gives you the confidence to push harder.

Fast, smooth, quiet and exceptionally precise – Ultegra Di2 suits the Noah 3.0 perfectly.

65MM FORZA SKIRON WHEELS – DEEP-SECTION SPEED

The Noah 3.0 Ultegra Di2 comes equipped with deep 65mm Forza Skiron wheels, giving this build the wheel depth and aggressive profile a dedicated aero bike deserves.

The 65mm-deep rims are designed to complement the aerodynamic character of the Noah, particularly when speeds increase across flat and rolling terrain. DT Swiss 370 hubs provide proven reliability at the centre of the wheelset, while tubeless-ready construction gives riders the option to move away from conventional inner tubes.

With their deep profile, the Skiron wheels don't just make the Noah look fast – they complete the bike's aerodynamic package and reinforce its high-speed intentions.

Whether you're driving a fast group, attacking a solo section of road or sprinting towards the finish, this is a wheel and frame combination designed to reward speed.

VITTORIA CORSA N.EXT TYRES

The Noah 3.0 comes equipped with 28mm Vittoria Corsa N.EXT tubeless-ready tyres, combining fast road performance with the additional grip and control offered by a modern 28mm setup.

The Noah frame itself provides clearance for tyres measuring up to 34mm in actual width, giving riders considerably more freedom to tune tyre volume and pressure around their roads and riding style.

That means the Noah doesn't need to be limited to narrow race rubber. Riders looking for additional comfort, grip and versatility can take advantage of the generous clearance while retaining the aggressive aerodynamic character of the bike.

CLEAN COCKPIT INTEGRATION

The Noah 3.0 uses Ridley's 4ZA CIP Integrated 2.0 cockpit on this specification, creating a clean, modern front end with integrated cable routing.

One of the advantages of the Noah platform is that Ridley hasn't locked the rider into a single cockpit solution. The frameset can also accommodate a conventional separate handlebar and stem using the appropriate transition components, giving riders additional flexibility when dialling in their position.

For a performance road bike, that's an important consideration. An aerodynamic frame only delivers its full potential when the rider can achieve a position that's both fast and sustainable.

UDH – A MODERN APPROACH

The Noah 3.0 uses the SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger standard, better known as UDH.

Using a standardised hanger makes replacements easier to source while bringing a modern derailleur-hanger solution to Ridley's road platform. It's a small detail, but exactly the kind of practical engineering that becomes important when a high-performance bike is ridden hard and regularly.

HEADLINE SPECIFICATION

PERFORMANCE GEOMETRY

BUILT FOR SPEED

The Noah 3.0 is the kind of bike that makes you want to ride fast.

The stiff carbon chassis responds when you get out of the saddle. The progressive geometry places you in a position designed for putting power through the pedals. The deep 65mm wheels encourage you to hold momentum, and Ultegra Di2 means the next gear is always available with a quick tap of the lever.

It's equally at home attacking a fast Sunday group ride, sitting on the start line of a road race or disappearing down your favourite stretch of road in pursuit of a new personal best.

And when the road starts pointing downwards, the Noah's planted geometry, hydraulic disc brakes and modern tyre capacity give you the confidence to carry serious speed.

Accelerate harder. Hold the speed. Brake later. Go again.

NOAH FAST DNA. ESSENTIAL SERIES VALUE.

Perhaps the biggest attraction of the Noah 3.0 is just how much of the flagship Noah Fast philosophy it retains.

Ridley has adjusted the carbon lay-up and cockpit approach to create its Essential Series platform, but the geometry and fundamental characteristics that make the Noah Fast such a formidable aero race bike remain.

That makes this Ultegra Di2 specification a particularly compelling option. You get a genuine aero carbon race chassis paired with one of Shimano's finest electronic groupsets, deep-section 65mm wheels and a modern integrated cockpit without needing to make the jump to the flagship platform.

It's a specification that puts the investment where it matters – aerodynamics, drivetrain performance, wheels and the fundamental quality of the frameset.

THE BOTTOM LINE

The Ridley Noah 3.0 Shimano Ultegra Di2 is a pure aero road bike for riders who want speed to be at the centre of the experience.

Its Essential Series carbon chassis takes the geometry and fundamental characteristics of the Noah Fast and packages them into a more accessible platform, while Ridley's progressive racing geometry creates the aggressive position and responsive handling expected from a serious performance machine.

Shimano Ultegra Di2 delivers superb 12-speed electronic shifting, the 52/36T drivetrain provides race-ready gearing and the deep 65mm Forza Skiron wheels reinforce the bike's aerodynamic intentions.

Add modern 34mm tyre clearance, UDH compatibility, hydraulic disc brakes and clean cockpit integration and you have a road bike that's thoroughly modern without losing sight of what the Noah has always been about.

Speed.

If you want a bike for sitting up and watching the scenery go past, there are other options.

If you want to get your head down, put the power through the pedals and make the scenery disappear as quickly as possible, the Noah 3.0 makes a very convincing argument.
