BUILT FOR ONE THING – SPEED

The all-new Ridley Noah Fast 3.0 SRAM Force AXS is the latest evolution of one of the most successful aero race bikes in professional cycling. Faster, cleaner and more aggressive than ever, the third-generation Noah Fast combines cutting-edge aerodynamics, progressive race geometry and a completely integrated cockpit with SRAM Force AXS wireless shifting and integrated power measurement.

This is Ridley's flagship aero race platform. Developed around the demands of professional racing and tested at the highest level with Uno-X Mobility, the Noah Fast 3.0 has one overriding objective – turn as much of your power as possible into forward speed.

Ridley states that the new Noah Fast is 8.5 watts faster than its predecessor at 50km/h. That's a serious aerodynamic improvement on a bike that was already designed around outright speed.

Whether you're racing, attacking the fastest local group ride, chasing personal bests or simply want a road bike that feels brutally quick every time you put the power down, the Noah Fast 3.0 is built to deliver.

A LEGACY OF SPEED

The Noah name has serious history.

Robbie McEwen, André Greipel and Caleb Ewan have all won Tour de France stages aboard previous generations of Ridley's aero race platform. That sprinting heritage runs through the DNA of the new Noah Fast 3.0, but this latest generation has evolved into something considerably more complete.

It's not simply a bike for flat roads and finish-line sprints. Modern professional racing demands a machine that can hold speed across rolling terrain, climb efficiently, descend with confidence and still deliver maximum aerodynamic performance when the race goes flat-out.

The Noah Fast 3.0 is Ridley's answer.

8.5 WATTS FASTER

When you're talking about an aero race bike, performance needs to be more than marketing.

Ridley states that the Noah Fast 3.0 saves 8.5 watts at 50km/h compared with the previous-generation Noah Fast. That's a meaningful aerodynamic improvement and one that becomes increasingly valuable the faster you ride.

The new frame has been developed around the latest UCI regulations governing aerodynamic tube shapes, allowing Ridley's engineers to push tube profiles further than previous generations.

Long, narrow aerodynamic sections are used throughout the frame and fork, while the new integrated cockpit and aggressive rider positioning form part of a complete approach to reducing drag.

The result isn't simply a frame that looks aerodynamic. It's a complete race platform engineered around speed.

PUSHING THE LIMITS OF AERODYNAMICS

Ridley has exploited the latest UCI regulations to develop dramatically deeper and more aerodynamically efficient tube profiles.

The fork is a perfect example. Its exceptionally deep, narrow legs are designed to guide airflow cleanly around the front of the bike, while the head tube, down tube and rear of the frame have all been developed as part of the same aerodynamic package.

Everything has been considered as a complete system – frame, fork, cockpit, wheels and, crucially, the rider.

Because at race speeds the rider creates the majority of aerodynamic drag. That's why the Noah Fast 3.0 doesn't just make the bike more aerodynamic; its geometry and cockpit have been developed to help the rider achieve a faster position as well.

Get low. Get narrow. Put the power down.

PROGRESSIVE RACING GEOMETRY

The Noah Fast 3.0 uses Ridley's latest progressive racing geometry, reflecting the increasingly aggressive positions being used at the highest level of professional cycling.

The seat tube angle has become significantly steeper, reaching 75 degrees in a size Medium. This moves the rider further forward towards the bottom bracket, helping open the hip angle and creating a powerful position for sustained high-intensity riding.

Importantly, Ridley has retained a similar effective top-tube length to the previous generation. The result is a more forward riding position without unnecessarily stretching the rider across the bike.

The front end is low and aggressive, helping reduce frontal area, while short 407mm chainstays keep the Noah Fast explosively responsive when you accelerate.

Sprint out of the saddle and it reacts immediately. Drop into an aero position and it encourages you to keep pushing. Throw it into a high-speed corner and the geometry gives you the confidence to commit.

This is a proper race bike.

NIMBUS AERO – A COCKPIT DESIGNED AROUND THE RIDER

The new Nimbus Aero integrated cockpit is a fundamental part of the Noah Fast 3.0 rather than simply a handlebar attached to an aerodynamic frame.

Ridley has developed the cockpit around the narrower positions increasingly favoured by professional riders. The standard configuration measures 360mm centre-to-centre at the controls before widening to 400mm in the drops.

This narrow position helps reduce the rider's frontal area when sitting on the hoods, while the wider drops provide additional leverage and control for sprinting and descending.

Ridley also offers different stem reach and stack configurations, allowing the front end to be tailored around rider position without destroying the beautifully integrated appearance of the bike.

It's a cockpit designed around the same philosophy as the rest of the Noah Fast – aerodynamic efficiency without sacrificing the control required to race hard.

SRAM FORCE AXS – WIRELESS RACE PERFORMANCE

SRAM Force AXS is an outstanding match for the Noah Fast 3.0.

The completely wireless electronic drivetrain provides fast, precise and intuitive shifting with an exceptionally clean cockpit. One paddle shifts the cassette in one direction, the other shifts it back, while operating both controls manages the front derailleur.

Simple. Fast. Precise.

The 48/35T Force chainset is paired with SRAM's XG-1270 10–33T 12-speed cassette, providing an excellent combination of high-speed gearing and real-world climbing range.

The 10-tooth smallest sprocket gives you the gearing needed when the Noah Fast is doing exactly what it was designed to do – travelling very quickly – while the 35x33 lowest combination provides enough range to tackle serious climbing without turning the bike into an unnecessarily over-geared race machine.

SRAM hydraulic disc brakes provide powerful, predictable stopping performance with excellent modulation, giving you the confidence to brake later and carry more speed through technical sections.

INTEGRATED POWER METER

This SRAM Force AXS specification includes a spindle-based power meter integrated into the crankset.

For riders serious about training and racing, power measurement transforms the Noah Fast from an incredibly fast road bike into a genuinely useful performance tool.

Power allows you to accurately pace long efforts, manage intensity on climbs, control breakaway efforts and analyse exactly what happened during a race or training session.

There's no need to budget for an aftermarket power meter or change components immediately after buying the bike. It's already there.

Pair the bike with your cycling computer and you're ready to train with numbers from the first ride.

65MM FORZA SKIRON – DEEP-SECTION SPEED

An aero race bike deserves deep wheels, and this Force AXS specification comes equipped with 65mm Forza Skiron carbon wheels.

The deep-section profile complements the aerodynamic design of the Noah Fast, helping the complete bike hold speed when velocities rise across flat and rolling roads.

DT Swiss 370 hubs sit at the centre of the wheelset, while the 21mm internal rim width provides a suitable platform for modern performance road tyres. Tubeless-ready construction also gives riders the option of running a fully tubeless setup.

At 65mm deep, these wheels leave absolutely no doubt about the intentions of the bike.

Get the Noah Fast moving and the combination of aero frame, integrated cockpit and deep-section wheels creates a machine designed to carry momentum.

This is where the Noah Fast feels at home – 40km/h, 45km/h, 50km/h and beyond.

VITTORIA CORSA PRO 30MM – WORLD-CLASS RUBBER

The Force AXS build comes equipped with 30mm Vittoria Corsa Pro tubeless-ready tyres, giving the Noah Fast a suitably premium connection to the road.

The Corsa Pro is designed around outright road performance, combining low rolling resistance with the grip and confidence required for aggressive cornering.

The 30mm width also reflects the direction modern racing has taken. Wider tyres allow lower pressures, increasing grip and control across imperfect road surfaces while helping the rider maintain speed where excessively narrow tyres can begin to bounce and lose efficiency.

The Noah Fast itself provides clearance for tyres measuring up to 34mm in actual width, giving riders additional flexibility when choosing their preferred tyre setup.

DESIGNED AND TESTED FOR PROFESSIONAL RACING

The Noah Fast 3.0 isn't simply inspired by professional racing. It has been developed for it.

The bike is used by the Uno-X Mobility men's and women's professional teams, putting the platform into exactly the environment for which it was designed.

Professional riders demand efficiency everywhere. Aerodynamics on the flat, stiffness when sprinting, predictable handling on descents and a position that allows them to sustain power while minimising drag.

Those same characteristics are what make the Noah Fast such an exciting bike away from professional racing.

You don't need a race number pinned to your jersey to appreciate a bike that accelerates immediately and seems to become more rewarding the faster you ride it.

UDH – MODERN AND PRACTICAL

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

UDH provides a standardised hanger that's widely available and straightforward to replace while also helping protect the derailleur and drivetrain in the event of an impact.

It's a small detail compared with the aerodynamic development elsewhere on the bike, but it's exactly the kind of practical feature you appreciate when owning and racing a high-performance machine.

HEADLINE SPECIFICATION

PERFORMANCE GEOMETRY

THE FASTER YOU GO, THE BETTER IT GETS

There are bikes that feel great at 25km/h. The Noah Fast 3.0 is the kind of bike that starts making more and more sense as the speed climbs.

Accelerate hard and the short rear end responds immediately. Settle into the narrow aero cockpit and the bike encourages you to hold a fast, efficient position. Get the 65mm wheels up to speed and the whole package feels like it wants to keep moving.

Then there's the sound. Deep carbon wheels, fast tyres and a stiff aero chassis combine to give the Noah Fast that unmistakable sense of speed that makes you want to push just a little harder.

Attack the climb. Chase the wheel ahead. Launch the sprint. Tuck into the descent.

This is a bike that rewards commitment.

FLAGSHIP FRAME. FORCE AXS SWEET SPOT.

The SRAM Force AXS version is arguably one of the sweet spots in the Noah Fast 3.0 range.

Most importantly, you're getting the full Elite Series Noah Fast 3.0 chassis. This isn't a lower-tier version of the frame – it's Ridley's flagship aero race platform.

SRAM Force AXS then delivers much of the performance riders expect from a top-level electronic drivetrain, including completely wireless shifting and integrated power measurement.

The 65mm Skiron wheels reinforce the bike's aerodynamic intentions, while premium Vittoria Corsa Pro tyres mean there isn't an obvious component that immediately needs replacing.

It's a complete race bike from day one.

For many riders, that's exactly what makes this build so attractive. The money is concentrated in the areas that make the biggest difference – the flagship frame, electronic drivetrain, power meter, deep wheels and premium tyres.

THE BOTTOM LINE
