Disc brakes are the next big thing in road bikes--offering improved all-weather and all-terrain braking power over traditional rim brakes. So it only makes sense that they would find their way to the Ridley Fenix, Ridley's go-anywhere, do-it-all road bike. The Ridley Fenix C10 Disc is the same frame as the ones the Lotto-Soudal pro riders use for races like Paris Roubaix, but has been updated to accept disc brakes, and wider 25-28mm tires. The Fenix C10 Disc is a full carbon fiber bike equipped with a Shimano Ultegra 6800 11-speed drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes, and Ridley's own 4Za components. The frame is made with 24-ton high modulus unidirectional carbon fiber formed into Ridley's distinctive diamond shape for rugged strength and durability. The taller headtube both alleviates stress on the lower back while riding and enhances frame stiffness by eliminating the need to use as many headset spacers. The CR1-D features Ultegra 6800 derailleurs mated to the new RS685 hydraulic levers and disc calipers. The Shimano hydraulic brakes have been specially adapted to the road to be lighter, more aerodynamic, and shed heat faster. Rounding out this impressive package is a build kit from Ridley's own 4Za brand. The bike rolls on a set of lightweight 4Za clincher rims, laced to DT Swiss R24 disc hubs with a 6-bolt rotor mount, which spin up quickly, climb like they mean it, and deliver superb braking performance.
