Ridley Liz 105 White/Blue, XXS Description

By now, you"re probably used to one of two things -- settling for a men"s complete bike and gutting the contact points at your own expense, or settling for a sub-par offering because it"s simply what was available. Notice that both of those options involve settling. Well, we"re here to tell you that Ridley has managed to take this failing paradigm and flip it on its head with the Liz 105. In it, Ridley created a frame with a women"s-specific geometry without cutting corners on the production. And because of its identical carbon composition and similar geometry, we actually consider it to be the sister-version of the all new Ridley Fenix. While the Liz is specifically designed for women, it doesn"t mean that it"s your typical shrink-and-pink job. Starting with strength, Ridley incorporated the same Sharp Edge tube design that was developed for its first carbon frame, the Damocles. Essentially, the engineering ideology at work here is that of form following function. If you"ve ever taken a gander at Ridley"s logo, you"ll notice the Ridley "R" encased in the outline of a diamond. This isn"t just a flamboyant demonstration of Belgian wealth and prosperity. In fact, it"s a representation of Ridley"s design philosophy -- taking cues from natural, proven designs. Accordingly, Ridley has designed the oversized carbon tubing with the shape of the diamond in mind. The "sharp edge" means that the focused areas of the carbon layup are at the poignant edges of the tubing. This not only guarantees a high level of strength and impact resistance, but it also translates to a lightweight composition. So, like the classic Ridley Damocles, the strength lies at the forefront, but with pages taken from the svelte Excalibur, the Liz"s strength-to-weight ratio goes off the charts. Like the Excalibur, Ridley placed a focus on lowering the overall weight, while increasing stability and comfort. Accordingly, the Liz has been constructed from a 24-ton, high modulus carbon fiber.
