PURE AERO SPEED

The Ridley Noah 3.0 SRAM Force AXS is a pure aero race bike created for riders who believe faster is always better. Combining the race-winning DNA of Ridley's legendary Noah platform with progressive geometry, deep-section carbon wheels and SRAM Force AXS wireless electronic shifting, this is a bike designed to turn every watt into speed.

The Noah 3.0 shares the same geometry and fundamental characteristics as the flagship Noah Fast, bringing Ridley's latest thinking in aerodynamics and rider positioning into the more accessible Essential Series carbon platform.

This is not an endurance bike made to look aggressive. The Noah 3.0 is a genuine aero race machine. Fast group rides, road racing, criteriums, rapid training sessions and long days chasing personal bests are exactly where it comes alive.

Get low. Put the power down. Hold the speed.

NOAH FAST DNA

The Noah name comes with serious racing pedigree. Previous generations have been ridden to Tour de France stage victories by some of the fastest sprinters in professional cycling, and that pursuit of outright speed remains at the heart of the Noah 3.0.

Ridley has taken the fundamental characteristics of the Noah Fast and incorporated them into its Essential Series platform. The carbon lay-up is different, using 24T and 30T carbon fibres, but the race-focused geometry and aerodynamic philosophy remain intact.

The result is an incredibly compelling performance package. You're getting the aggressive position, responsive handling and aero-focused design philosophy of Ridley's flagship race platform in a bike that makes that technology available at a more accessible level.

BUILT TO CHEAT THE WIND

Aerodynamics sit at the heart of the Noah 3.0. Ridley developed the platform around the latest UCI regulations governing aerodynamic tube profiles, including the modern 8:1 rule that allows frame tubes to be dramatically deeper relative to their width.

That freedom can be seen throughout the Noah's design, particularly in its long, narrow fork and seatstay profiles.

The low front end allows the rider to adopt an aggressive aerodynamic position, reducing frontal area and helping rider and bike work together as one complete aero package. Clean cockpit integration further reduces unnecessary clutter around the front of the bike.

The faster you ride, the more aerodynamics matter – and speed is exactly where the Noah 3.0 wants to live.

PROGRESSIVE RACING GEOMETRY

The Noah 3.0 uses Ridley's progressive performance geometry, reflecting the increasingly aggressive riding positions seen in modern professional cycling.

A steeper seat tube angle positions the rider further forward and more centrally over the bike, helping create an open hip angle for efficient power transfer while making it easier to maintain an aggressive aerodynamic position.

The low head tube reduces frontal area, while the lowered bottom bracket compensates for the wider tyres now commonly used on modern performance road bikes and contributes to a planted, confidence-inspiring feel at high speed.

Short 407mm chainstays keep the Noah sharp and responsive when you accelerate. Sprint out of the saddle and the bike responds immediately. Throw it into a fast corner and the geometry provides the precision and stability needed to commit.

It's aggressive without being unpredictable – exactly what you want from a modern aero race bike.

SRAM FORCE AXS – WIRELESS PERFORMANCE

SRAM Force AXS is an ideal match for the Noah 3.0. Fast, precise and completely wireless at the controls, Force AXS gives the bike the clean appearance and effortless shifting expected from a premium modern race machine.

The 48/35T Force chainset is paired with a 10–33T SRAM XG-1270 12-speed cassette, creating an exceptionally versatile gearing range.

The 10-tooth smallest sprocket provides the high-speed gearing required when you're pushing hard across fast roads or sprinting towards the finish, while the 35x33 lowest combination gives you considerably more climbing capability than traditional race gearing.

SRAM's AXS shifting logic is beautifully intuitive, with one paddle controlling shifts in each direction. Gear changes are fast, accurate and require minimal effort, allowing you to concentrate on putting power through the pedals rather than thinking about the drivetrain.

SRAM hydraulic disc brakes complete the package with powerful, predictable braking and excellent modulation in all conditions.

INTEGRATED POWER METER

The SRAM Force crankset also incorporates a spindle-based power meter, making this Noah 3.0 ready for serious training and racing straight out of the box.

Power remains one of the most valuable metrics available to performance-focused cyclists. It allows you to accurately pace long efforts, control intensity on climbs, analyse race performance and structure training around exactly what you're producing at the pedals.

Having the power meter neatly integrated into the crankset means there's no need for additional aftermarket equipment. Pair it with your cycling computer and the Noah becomes a powerful training tool as well as an exceptionally fast race bike.

Train with numbers. Race with confidence.

65MM FORZA SKIRON WHEELS – DEEP-SECTION SPEED

The Noah 3.0 Force AXS comes equipped with 65mm-deep Forza Skiron wheels, giving the bike exactly the kind of wheel profile its aerodynamic frame deserves.

Deep-section rims complement the aerodynamic characteristics of the Noah, helping the bike maintain momentum when speeds rise across flat and rolling roads. DT Swiss 370 hubs provide proven reliability at the centre of the wheelset, while the 21mm internal rim width creates a modern platform for performance road tyres.

Tubeless-ready construction also gives riders the option to move away from conventional inner tubes and take advantage of lower pressures and modern tubeless tyre technology.

Visually, the deep 65mm wheels complete the Noah's aggressive appearance. More importantly, they complement exactly what the bike has been engineered to do – hold speed.

VITTORIA CORSA PRO 30MM TYRES

This Force AXS specification is equipped with 30mm Vittoria Corsa Pro tubeless-ready tyres, giving the Noah a suitably premium connection to the road.

Modern race bikes are no longer restricted to ultra-narrow, rock-hard tyres. A high-quality 30mm tyre provides an excellent combination of rolling performance, grip and control, allowing the rider to maintain speed across real-world road surfaces.

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

That means you can retain the aggressive aerodynamic character of the Noah while taking advantage of the grip, comfort and confidence offered by modern high-volume road tyres.

CLEAN COCKPIT INTEGRATION

The Noah 3.0 Force AXS uses Ridley's 4ZA CIP Integrated 2.0 cockpit, creating a clean and purposeful front end with integrated cable routing.

The result is a beautifully uncluttered appearance that complements the aerodynamic frame and wireless SRAM drivetrain.

The Noah platform also retains useful flexibility when it comes to bike fit. The frame can accommodate Ridley's integrated cockpit solution or a more traditional separate handlebar and stem arrangement with the appropriate transition components.

That's particularly important on an aerodynamic race bike, because achieving the correct rider position is every bit as important as the aerodynamic design of the frame itself.

UDH – MODERN AND PRACTICAL

The Noah 3.0 uses SRAM's Universal Derailleur Hanger standard.

UDH provides a standardised derailleur hanger that's easier to source and replace while also bringing a thoroughly modern hanger solution to Ridley's road platform.

It's the kind of detail you might barely notice when everything is working perfectly, but one you'll appreciate enormously if a hanger ever needs replacing.

HEADLINE SPECIFICATION

PERFORMANCE GEOMETRY

BUILT TO BE RIDDEN FAST

Some bikes encourage you to settle in and enjoy the scenery. The Noah 3.0 encourages you to attack the road in front of you.

Stamp on the pedals and the short rear end responds immediately. Settle into an aero position and the deep frame profiles and 65mm wheels encourage you to keep pushing. Hit a fast descent and the progressive geometry, 30mm Corsa Pro tyres and powerful hydraulic brakes give you the confidence to carry speed.

SRAM Force AXS keeps every shift fast and precise, while the integrated power meter means every hard effort can be measured.

It's a bike that rewards commitment.

Accelerate harder. Hold the wheel. Attack the climb. Sprint for the sign. Then turn around and do it again.

THE FORCE AXS SWEET SPOT

The SRAM Force AXS version could be one of the most compelling builds in the Noah 3.0 range.

You get the same Essential Series carbon chassis, Noah Fast-derived geometry and aerodynamic development, but combine it with a drivetrain that sits remarkably close to flagship-level performance.

Wireless Force AXS shifting is fast and precise, the integrated power meter makes the bike immediately ready for structured training and racing, and the 48/35T with 10–33T gearing provides an excellent combination of outright speed and real-world climbing range.

Add deep 65mm wheels and Vittoria Corsa Pro tyres and the result is a specification without an obvious weak point.

It's a proper race bike straight out of the box.

THE BOTTOM LINE

The Ridley Noah 3.0 SRAM Force AXS is for riders who want their road bike to feel fast every time they throw a leg over it.
