Falcn makes top performance more accessible than ever
Ridley proudly presents the Falcn. This performance road bike features the same decisive qualities and riding comfort as the Falcn RS. The Falcn also offers an unmatched price-quality ratio that makes top performance more accessible than ever before.
The Falcn continues the success of the Falcn RS. With its aero and lightweight carbon frame and responsive ride, the Falcn is ready for all your competitive cycling goals, from demanding spring classics to top-level climbing performance. The aero-to-weight principle is the trend in the cycling peloton. Ridley no longer makes riders choose between aerodynamics and weight but combines the best of both worlds.
Aerodynamic Improvements
The performance geometry and 34-millimeter tire clearance of the Falcn are identical to these features on the Falcn RS, and the diffuser fork crown and universal derailleur hanger (UDH) are retained. This fork crown allows the airflow to pass more easily through it while adding extra energy. This results in smoother airflow along the down tube without slowing the bike down. At the same time, there is less resistance in the area behind the fork and head tube. The UDH, the new standard in the cycling world, is compatible with all modern drivetrains and protects against derailleur breakage and chain drops.
Geometry
Ridley’s product developers designed the geometry of the Falcn with a focus on speed, stability, and responsiveness. The length of the head tube is shorter than that of the Noah Fast and Helium SLX, providing a more aggressive riding position. The bottom bracket is positioned lower to accommodate the possibility of riding with wider tires. This ensures excellent control for the rider.

Lightweight
The Falcn stands out with a round seatpost, unlike the D-shaped seatpost of the Falcn RS, and a different carbon composition. The RS in Falcn RS stands for 'Racing Sport' and uses the Elite series carbon frame, while the Falcn uses the Essential carbon. Nevertheless, the frame of the Falcn still weighs only 990 grams. By keeping the weight under 1 kilogram, it remains a very competitive bike. Ridley achieves this lightweight by using slim tube profiles and a lay-up focused on weight reduction. The result is the same ride feel on a more accessible version of the Falcn RS. In terms of price-quality ratio, the Falcn scores very well. This package should be a no-brainer for performance-oriented endurance athletes.
Configurator
This setup is, of course, not the only one Ridley offers. The Falcn is available through the configurator, meaning you can choose the design and colors yourself and build the bike entirely to your preference. You select the groupset, handlebars, wheelset, saddle, tires, and sizes of each component. In total, the Falcn is available in five sizes from XS to XL, so there is a perfect fit for every rider.

Aero-to-weight
The Falcn builds on the legacy of the Noah, Ridley’s fastest aero road bike, and the Helium, the lightweight flagship. This results in the ultimate ‘aero-to-weight’ bike that makes no compromises between aerodynamics and weight.
Soar to victory!
The motto of the Falcn RS remains for the Falcn: ‘soar to victory’! This refers to the name, as falcons are known for their incredible power, speed, and agility, just like the Falcn. The aerodynamic features of the falcon and their precise maneuverability are also reflected in the bike. Ridley hopes to serve even more ambitious cyclists with the Falcn in their quest for the very best!
