Het KMC MTB Racing Team op weg naar Parijs 2024
Afgelopen donderdag werd in de hoofdkantoren van KMC Chain Europe in Heerenveen het KMC MTB Racing Team voorgesteld. Het is de nieuwe naam van het internationale crosscountry team ...
Super lightweight frame, modern progressive geometry, direct power transfer, the Probe RS redefines performance!
RS, 2 letters that define this bike, RS is short for Racing Sport. This bike has one purpose, to be the best in class!
The heart of the Probe RS is the EU made Elite series carbon fiber frame. No stone was left unturned to achieve a crazy light frame weight of 760 grams combined with stiffness and strength in all the right places.
With the progressive geometry you can ride steep terrain with ease and confidence. No matter if it goes up or down, the Probe RS has got you covered. The low weight and immediate pedal response will make you laugh out loud with every pedal stroke.
You can use a dropper post on the Probe RS to make it even more versatile and adapt it to the trails you ride or the course you are racing on.
Made For 100 up to 120mm suspension
We chose to make the geometry suitable for different kind of riders,
A 100mm setup makes It easier to maneuver and give a more plush ride on the trail
As for the 120mm improves the handling on higher speed when riding over bumps and rocks and down country terrain.
Multiple mounting points for 2 bottle cages inside the front triangle. Other mounting points allow you to carry tools or other accessories on the bike to carry over the load that you normally store in your back pocket.
At Ridley bikes it starts all here with us in Paal, Belgium.
We developed a frame that is drawn from scratch.
Together with a European partner we managed to produce frames in Europe.
This benefits
that we have more control over production and future developments.
The geometry is fully adapted to the intended use of the bicycle and the terrain.
The geometry is incredibly versatile and it makes the bike the perfect partner in crime for all your races and offroad escapades.
Our carbon is manufactured by world market leader: Toray. The Japanese manufacturer is leader in every aspect of carbon development and supplier to absolute top world brands in many industries. For the Elite Series, we use every type of available carbon: 60T, 50T, 30T and 24T.
The higher the 'Ton', the higher the tensile strength of the carbon fibers and the more intensive the development and processing. With 60T, you may need fewer layers of carbon to achieve the desired stiffness as well as the lightest possible bike, but if you built the whole frame with 60T you'd have a very uncomfortable, over-responsive ride. Hence, a mix of 24T, 30T, 50T and 60T carbon is essential as each carbon serves a certain purpose in perfectly balancing stiffness, weight and comfort.
Each bike's unique carbon mix is dependent on its purpose, such as climbing, endurance, etc. In addition, each area of each frame requires its own unique mix depending on its function such as to provide comfort or stiffness. It is here, in the unique carbon compositions, where Ridley makes the difference!
The universal derailleur hanger (UDH) is the new standard in the cycling world. Not only is this derailleur hanger compatible with all modern shifting groups, it also protects against derailleur breakage and chain drops. In mountain biking, UDH has long been very common, and Ridley is bringing the technology to other segments as well.

How can we help?
The weight of an unpainted frame is between 756gr and 823gr depending on the size
The frame can take up to 29x2,4" for all sizes
In the Probe RS use an oversized headset with 1 1/8" upper bearing and 1 1/2" lower bearing (IS42 | IS52)
The uses the Sram Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH). This means you will find easily a replacement hanger wherever you are as it is a standardised hanger (Ridley article code HANUDHSRA001)
Check the following tables for the different groupset setups
The frame is developped for flatmount brakes for 160mm or 180mm rotor using an adapter
The frame needs a 12mm TA for BOOST spacing (148mm) with a thread of 1.0mm (Ridley article code QRET124ZA045)
The frame is developped for 100 to 120mm travel forks.
The frame is designed for seatpost with a 31,6mm diameter with a seatpost clamp of 34,9mm (Ridley article code SPCSNG4ZA011)
The frame is dropperpost ready.
The frame is designed for seatpost with a 31,6mm diameter.
The frame uses Press-fit BB92 bottom bracket standard.
