BUILT FOR ONE THING – SPEED

The all-new Ridley Noah Fast 3.0 Shimano Ultegra Di2 is the latest evolution of Ridley's flagship aero race platform – faster, cleaner and more aggressive than ever before.

Combining the Elite Series carbon chassis with progressive race geometry, the ultra-narrow Nimbus Aero cockpit, Shimano Ultegra Di2 electronic shifting and a seriously impressive DT Swiss ARC 1400 DICUT wheel package, this is a road bike engineered around one overriding objective: maximum speed.

Ridley states that the Noah Fast 3.0 is 8.5 watts faster than its predecessor at 50km/h. That's a substantial aerodynamic improvement on a platform that was already built around reducing drag.

Fast club rides, road racing, criteriums, breakaways, sprints and long days chasing personal bests – this is where the Noah Fast 3.0 belongs.

Get low. Put the power down. Go faster.

A LEGACY OF SPEED

The Noah name carries serious racing heritage.

Previous generations have been ridden to Tour de France stage victories by riders including Robbie McEwen, André Greipel and Caleb Ewan. The latest Noah Fast takes that sprinting DNA and evolves it into a complete modern race platform capable of delivering speed across far more than perfectly flat roads.

Modern professional racing demands everything from a bike. It needs to be aerodynamically efficient on the flat, responsive when accelerating, stable through fast corners and capable of putting the rider into a position that remains both powerful and aerodynamic.

The Noah Fast 3.0 is Ridley's answer.

Developed in consultation with professional riders from Uno-X Mobility, this isn't simply a bike inspired by professional racing. It's a platform designed, tested and raced at the highest level.

8.5 WATTS FASTER

Aerodynamics need numbers, not just aggressive-looking tube shapes.

Ridley states that the Noah Fast 3.0 requires 8.5 watts less power at 50km/h than its predecessor.

At racing speeds, that's meaningful.

Ridley's engineers developed the new bike around the latest UCI regulations governing aerodynamic tube profiles, giving them considerably greater freedom to create the long, narrow shapes visible throughout the frame and fork.

But the development goes beyond the frameset alone.

Ridley's aerodynamic simulations considered the complete bike – including wheels, bottles, cycling computer and other essentials – and tested the package across different wind angles to better represent real-world riding.

The result is a bike developed as a complete aerodynamic system rather than simply an aero-shaped frame.

PUSHING AERODYNAMICS TO THE LIMIT

The latest UCI regulations allow aerodynamic tube profiles with significantly greater depth relative to their width than previous rules permitted.

Ridley has taken advantage of that freedom throughout the Noah Fast 3.0.

The exceptionally deep and narrow fork legs are perhaps the most obvious example, but the same philosophy extends through the frame and seatstays.

Every major element has been considered around airflow.

The objective is simple: minimise the energy lost pushing air out of the way and convert more of the rider's power into forward motion.

And because the rider creates the majority of aerodynamic drag, the Noah Fast doesn't stop with the frameset.

Its geometry and cockpit have also been developed to help the rider achieve a narrower, lower and more aerodynamically efficient position.

Bike and rider work together.

That's what makes the Noah Fast a complete aero race platform.

PROGRESSIVE RACING GEOMETRY

The Noah Fast 3.0 uses Ridley's progressive racing geometry, reflecting the increasingly aggressive positions being adopted by professional riders.

A steep seat tube angle moves the rider further forward and creates a more central position over the bike, helping open the hip angle and support efficient power transfer while maintaining an aggressive aerodynamic posture.

The head tube is deliberately low, allowing riders to reduce frontal area, while the lowered bottom bracket compensates for the wider tyres now used in modern road racing and contributes to a planted high-speed feel.

Short 407mm chainstays keep the Noah Fast sharp and responsive when you accelerate.

Sprint out of the saddle and the bike reacts immediately.

Throw it into a fast corner and the geometry provides the precision required to commit.

Drop into an aerodynamic position and the Noah Fast feels completely at home as the speed continues to rise.

It's aggressive, purposeful and unmistakably race focused.

SHIMANO ULTEGRA Di2 – RACE-PROVEN PRECISION

Shimano Ultegra Di2 is an outstanding match for the Noah Fast 3.0.

Fast, incredibly precise and beautifully refined, Ultegra Di2 brings much of the technology and shifting performance associated with Shimano's flagship electronic drivetrain into a package that's become a benchmark for serious performance road bikes.

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

The 52/36T Ultegra crankset is paired with an 11–30T 12-speed cassette, giving the Noah Fast appropriately performance-focused gearing.

The 52-tooth outer chainring provides the top-end gearing needed when speeds get serious, while the 36x30 lowest combination provides useful climbing capability without sacrificing the close gear progression riders appreciate when trying to maintain an exact cadence.

Shimano hydraulic disc brakes complete the groupset with powerful, predictable braking and excellent modulation.

Fast shifting. Powerful braking. Proven reliability.

Ultegra Di2 suits the Noah Fast perfectly.

DT SWISS ARC 1400 DICUT – SERIOUS AERO FIREPOWER

This is where the specification becomes particularly exciting.

Ridley equips this Noah Fast 3.0 with DT Swiss ARC 1400 DICUT wheels – a premium deep-section carbon wheelset designed specifically around aerodynamic road performance.

Both wheels use 65mm-deep carbon rims with a 22mm internal width, creating exactly the kind of deep aero profile the Noah Fast deserves.

A 65mm wheel offers an excellent balance for a dedicated aero race bike. Deep enough to provide genuine aerodynamic performance at high speeds, yet versatile enough for the varied terrain encountered in real-world road racing and fast riding.

Paired with the aggressively sculpted Noah Fast frame and integrated Nimbus Aero cockpit, the ARC 1400 wheelset creates a formidable high-speed package.

Get the bike moving and everything starts working together.

The frame cuts through the air. The cockpit reduces frontal area. The deep wheels help hold momentum.

This is where the Noah Fast starts to feel special.

CONTINENTAL AERO 111 – A FRONT TYRE BUILT AROUND AIRFLOW

Ridley hasn't simply fitted two identical tyres to this Ultegra build.

At the front sits Continental's AERO 111 – a tyre specifically developed with aerodynamics in mind.

That's significant because the front tyre is one of the first components to meet the airflow as the bike travels forward. Its interaction with the wheel can therefore influence the aerodynamic performance of the complete front-wheel system.

Pairing the AERO 111 with the 65mm DT Swiss ARC 1400 front wheel creates a highly specialised combination designed around high-speed aerodynamic performance.

At the rear, Ridley uses Continental's proven GP5000 S, providing the rolling performance, grip and race-focused character expected from one of the most highly regarded performance road tyre families.

It's another example of Ridley approaching the Noah Fast as a complete system.

Frame. Cockpit. Wheels. Tyres. Rider.

Everything matters.

NIMBUS AERO – PUTTING THE RIDER OUT OF THE WIND

The Nimbus Aero integrated cockpit isn't simply an attractive finishing component. It was developed specifically for the Noah Fast 3.0 and formed an integral part of the bike's aerodynamic development.

The cockpit follows the increasingly narrow handlebar positions being adopted in professional racing.

It measures just 360mm centre-to-centre at the controls before flaring to 400mm in the drops.

That narrower position at the hoods helps reduce the rider's frontal area – potentially one of the biggest aerodynamic gains available – while the wider drops provide additional leverage and control when sprinting, descending and cornering aggressively.

A subtle backsweep across the top provides a more ergonomic hand position, while the overall design allows the controls to be positioned around a modern aerodynamic riding stance.

Ridley also offers multiple cockpit reach and stack options, helping riders achieve the correct position without relying on excessive spacer stacks.

Get the rider low. Get the rider narrow. Keep the rider powerful.

That's the philosophy.

34MM TYRE CLEARANCE – MODERN RACE-BIKE VERSATILITY

Despite its uncompromising aerodynamic appearance, the Noah Fast 3.0 provides clearance for tyres measuring up to 34mm in actual width.

That makes the platform considerably more versatile than traditional aero race bikes built around narrow tyres and extremely high pressures.

Modern high-volume road tyres can provide excellent rolling efficiency while increasing grip, comfort and control across imperfect surfaces.

Ridley specifically points to the 34mm clearance as making the Noah Fast suitable for extremely rough racing environments such as Paris-Roubaix.

Run fast race rubber for maximum speed or increase tyre volume when additional control and comfort become priorities.

Either way, the Noah Fast remains a thoroughbred race bike.

TESTED AND APPROVED BY UNO-X MOBILITY

The Noah Fast 3.0 has been developed in consultation with the professional riders of Uno-X Mobility.

Their feedback forms part of Ridley's development process, allowing the company's engineers to refine the bike around the demands of racing at the highest level.

The result is a platform that isn't merely designed to look like a professional race bike.

It is one.

Ridley cites victories including Omloop Nieuwsblad and the team's first Tour stage win in 2025 as examples of what has come from this development partnership.

For riders away from the professional peloton, that development translates into the same fundamental qualities – aerodynamic efficiency, aggressive positioning, responsive handling and a bike designed to reward power.

UDH – MODERN AND PRACTICAL

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

UDH provides a standardised derailleur hanger that is considerably easier to source than many proprietary alternatives, while also providing additional drivetrain protection.

It's the kind of feature you barely notice until you need it.

On a race bike designed to be ridden hard, transported regularly and potentially taken around the world, that's exactly the kind of practical detail worth having.

PERFORMANCE GEOMETRY

THE FASTER YOU GO, THE MORE IT MAKES SENSE

There are bikes that feel impressive rolling away from the café.

The Noah Fast 3.0 is designed to impress when you're already doing 40km/h and decide you want to go faster.

Accelerate hard and the short 407mm rear end gives the bike an immediate, purposeful response. Settle onto the narrow Nimbus cockpit and you're naturally encouraged into a low, compact position. Bring those 65mm ARC 1400 wheels up to speed and the whole package feels designed to keep carrying momentum.

Then hit the next rise.

One tap of the Di2 lever. Another gear. Stay on the power.

Over the top, get low again and let the Noah run.

This is what makes a proper aero race bike addictive. The faster you ride it, the more its design begins to make sense.

A STANDOUT ULTEGRA Di2 BUILD

The Ultegra Di2 version is an exceptionally compelling Noah Fast 3.0 specification.

Most importantly, you're getting Ridley's full Elite Series flagship chassis. This is the genuine Noah Fast 3.0 platform, with the same aerodynamic development, aggressive geometry and Nimbus Aero cockpit technology that define Ridley's top-level aero race machine.

Shimano Ultegra Di2 then brings outstanding electronic shifting performance with the familiarity and refinement that have made it one of the most popular premium road groupsets available.

But the real highlight of this particular build may be the wheels.

DT Swiss ARC 1400 DICUT 65mm carbon wheels represent a serious performance specification straight out of the box. Combine them with the dedicated Continental AERO 111 front tyre and GP5000 S rear and there's very little here that immediately demands an upgrade.

It's not a high-end frame with components selected simply to reach a price point.

It's a complete performance package.

BUILT TO RACE. BUILT TO ATTACK.

The Noah Fast doesn't disguise what it wants from you.

It wants you to attack.

Put the bike on the front of a fast group and drive the pace. Launch an attack over the crest of a climb. Chase down the break. Drop into the Nimbus cockpit and hammer across exposed roads.

Then when the finish line appears, get out of the saddle and empty the tank.

The stiff carbon chassis, aggressive position, precise Ultegra Di2 drivetrain and deep ARC 1400 wheels all work towards the same objective.

Speed.

That's what separates the Noah Fast from a conventional performance road bike. It isn't trying to be everything to everyone.

It knows exactly what it wants to be.

Fast.

THE BOTTOM LINE

The Ridley Noah Fast 3.0 Shimano Ultegra Di2 is a flagship aero race bike with a specification worthy of the frame.

Ridley's Elite Series carbon chassis combines cutting-edge aerodynamic development with progressive racing geometry and the ultra-narrow Nimbus Aero cockpit to create a complete system designed around reducing drag.

Ridley claims an 8.5-watt aerodynamic improvement over the previous Noah Fast at 50km/h – a significant gain on a bike already created around outright speed.

Shimano Ultegra Di2 provides the fast, precise and beautifully refined electronic shifting expected from a premium race bike, while 52/36T gearing and an 11–30T cassette give the bike the close ratios and high-speed capability its character deserves.

Then there are the wheels.

Deep 65mm DT Swiss ARC 1400 DICUT carbon wheels combined with Continental's dedicated AERO 111 front tyre create a seriously impressive aero package straight from the box.

Add 34mm tyre clearance, hydraulic disc brakes, UDH compatibility and professional development with Uno-X Mobility and the result is a thoroughly modern racing machine.

This is not a road bike that happens to be aerodynamic.

It's an aero race bike from the ground up.

Get low. Get narrow. Put the power down.

And don't look back.
