Classified Ridley Team
In 2020, Ridley introduced the Classified Powershift on our Kanzo Fast, the first true aero gravel bike that made us pioneers in the rapidly growing competitive gravel scene. In the spring of 2023, Classified, in partnership with Foodmaker and with the support of Ridley and DT Swiss, launched the first professional gravel team. Dutch powerhouse Piotr Havik became the first rider of this ambitious project. He received a personalized Kanzo Fast and Kanzo Adventure and officially debuted for the team during Unbound Gravel, a legendary race in the American state of Kansas.
Later in 2023, Daan Grosemans joined the ranks of Team Classified. His design of the Kanzo Fast also resonated strongly with our fans. As a result, we made the bikes of Havik and Grosemans available for purchase. The duo contributed to the team's visibility at major events in the ever-expanding gravel world. In 2024, Toby Perry and Annabel Fisher will also join the team. Ridley continues to play a significant role in the increasingly popular gravel world.
