About Grifn RS Gravel
The Grifn RS features an optimized carbon structure, making it even lighter than the Grifn. Additionally, it includes several aerodynamic optimizations, such as the aerodynamic shape of the seat tube with D-shaped seat post and the integrated diffuser on the fork.
Naturally, you can easily switch from a 'road-setup' to an 'offroad-setup' with the Grifn RS. The Grifn RS excels on both regular roads and gravel paths thanks to its well-thought-out and highly appreciated all-road geometry. The frame also has various mounting points so you can choose your personalized setup with the right bike bags and fenders. With tires up to 42 millimeters, it's suitable for any terrain. Like the Grifn, the Grifn RS also features the option to route the cable for a rear light through the top tube.
Furthermore, the integrated front derailleur clamp stands out, which is also easy to remove or can be replaced by an aero chain guide. The UDH derailleur hanger and CeramicSpeed SLT bearings make the Grifn RS the best all-road bike in our range.
All-road geometry
Diffuser fork crown
The fork crown has an integrated diffuser to reduce drag. The airflow passes more easily through fork crown while extra energy is added to it. The result is that the airflow passes the downtube more easily without pushing the bike back. At the same time there is less drag in the area behind the fork and headtube.
Less resistance, more speed!
Lightweight carbon frame
The lighter weight of the Grifn RS is the result of an optimized carbon structure and the use of lighter and stiffer carbon fibers, resulting in a weight improvement of 140 grams compared to the Grifn.
Optimized tire clearance
For the Grifn RS, Ridley opts for a slightly wider tire clearance compared to the Grifn. With 42 millimeters, they typically provide ample capability to handle a variety of gravel obstacles. This maintains a balance between speed and agility on one hand, and comfort and stability on the other. Of course, on the road, you can easily switch wheels or tires to opt for a narrower one if needed.
Race proven gravel
Both our gravel bikes and our all-road bikes are developed in collaboration with the Classified Ridley Team. As a professional gravel team, they have the knowledge and experience in competition and are ideally positioned to assist us in the quest for marginal gains.
Personalized setup
The frame features three mounting points on and under the downtube, as well as on the seattube, allowing you to customize the positioning of your bottle cages in conjunction with a frame bag. Additionally, there are two mounting points on the top tube for a top tube bag or toolkit, cleverly concealed under a cover. Furthermore, we have designed specific mudguards for the Grifn, enabling you to use your bike in all weather conditions.
Cable routing for lights
Like every bike in the Grifn family, you have the option to route the cable for a rear light through the top tube. This internal cable routing for the dynamo hub is also concealed in the fork leg, eliminating the need for tape and protruding cable ties. This enables you to install lighting on your bike, which is a highly convenient addition when you want to venture into the darkness.
Two worlds, one bike
With the Grifn family, you can hit the road as well as the off-road. You simply change wheelsets and do a gran fondo gravel on Saturday and hit the road the day after with the regular cycling club. With this family, you no longer need any other bikes.
Top Vélo Gravel Bike of the Year
In 2024 heeft de Franse magazine Top Vélo de Grifn RS bekroond met de titel 'Gravel Bike of the Year'. ‘A versatile gravel bike that can handle anything, with a design that is a masterpiece in terms of ease of use, performance and comfort,‘ the judges’ verdict reads. 'The Grifn RS masterfully represents the new category of all-road bikes. It is a bike that is infinitely configurable and customisable!’

Help & support
How can we help?
The frame needs a 12mm TA with a thread of 1mm (Ridley article code QRET124ZA046)
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)
We use a BB86 press-fit bottom bracket standard on the Fenix SLiC, Fenix Disc, Kanzo Adventure, Kanzo Fast, Grifn, X-Night RS
The offset of the seatpost is 6mm. The aero seatpost is used on the Noah Fast, Noah, Falcn RS, X-Night RS frame platforms.
Yes, there is a zero offset seatpost available.
The integrated seatpost clamp (Ridley article code SPCAER4ZA010) is designed for the aero seatpost of the Grifn RS and the E-Grifn
The maximum torque to fix the seatpost clamp is 10Nm, like mentionned on the clamp
The Grifn RS uses a headset with a 1 1/8'' (IS42|28.6) upper bearing and 1 1/2'' (IS42|50) lower bearing.
The tire clearance of the Grifn RS and E-Grifn is 42mm, actual width, in combination with a gravel drivetrain like Shimano GRX or Sram Wide/XPLR. When using a road drivetrain, the maximum tire clearance is 38mm.
This means the actual width of the tire on the rim. This can be different from the size mentionned on the tire.
Yes, we have added a neat integrated cablerouting through the fork to the crown of the fork for your front light. We have added 2 small holes in the frame to route the cable for your rear light internally. In this way you avoid the hassle with tape or tiewraps to guide the cables!
