Aero-to-Aero
Essential Series › Elite SeriesOur aero-to-aero bikes are our very fastest bikes. Aerodynamically perfected with an eye for detail. The ideal bike for the pure speed maniac.
The Noah features the same geometry and the same characteristics as the Noah Fast. This pure aero bike also builds on the success of its predecessors, on which icons like Robbie McEwen, André Greipel, and Caleb Ewan won Tour stages. One difference is the carbon lay-up, as well as the cockpit integration. The rider can equip the Noah with a classic handlebar/stem combination or the Cirrus Pro Integrated cockpit. In addition to electronic shifting, mechanical shifting is also still possible on this bike.
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.
The new Noah Fast has been fully developed based on the latest UCI regulations regarding tube shapes and profiles. The main difference is the use of the 8:1 rule, which allows tubes to be eight times longer than their width, whereas previously it was 3:1. The result is long, narrow profiles in the fork and seat stays.
A steeper seat angle aligns with the changing preference of riders towards a position with an open hip angle for a better power transfer.
A lowered bottom bracket compensates for the wider tires used in modern cycling.
Finally, the lower head tube with integrated cockpit allows the rider to have a more aggressive aero position, resulting in a reduced frontal area.
The Noah brings all the best features of the Noah Fast to a more accessible price point. The carbon lay-up has been slightly adjusted, but the winning geometry remains intact. Our carbon is manufactured by the world market leader: Toray. The Japanese manufacturer is a pioneer in every aspect of carbon development and a supplier to absolute world-class brands in various industries. For the Essential Series, we use two types of carbon: 24T and 30T. The higher the tonnage, the higher the tensile strength and the fewer layers are needed to achieve the desired stiffness. That’s why a bike from the Essential Series is slightly heavier than its sibling from the Elite Series.
Our innovative removable front derailleur clamp ensures a sleek, streamlined appearance when using a 1x setup. In collaboration with Wolf Tooth, we’ve developed a custom chainguide and chain catcher perfectly tailored to fit our frames. To maintain a clean and polished look, we’ve also designed a specialized cover to seamlessly replace the clamp when it’s not in use.

How can we help?
Yes, you can use both an integrated Forza Cirrus Pro cockpit on the bike or a traditionnal stem-handlebar combination using a transition spacer (SPAAER4ZA012) to round spacers or a Deda Superbox
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, Falcn RS, Falcn, Noah Fast and Noah
Yes, the frame is compatible with both mecanical and electronic groupsets.
The tire cleance of the Noah is 34mm, actual width. This means the actual width of the tire on the rim. This can be different from the size mentionned on the tire.
The integrated seatpost clamp (Ridley article code SPCAER4ZA007) is designed for the aero seatpost of the Noah Fast and Noah.
We have developped a specific aero integrated cockpit for the Noah Fast. The cockpit has different stem lengths and a width at the shifters of 360mm center-center and 400mm center-center in the drops for an optimised aero position. To find your perfect position we introduce also 3 different stem stack options (55, 75 and 100mm). This allows you to ride with less or without stemspacers and find your perfect position on the bike.
The Noah Fast / Noah uses a progressive performance geometry. This means we use a steeper seat tube angle to have a more central position on the bike. To find your frame size, you should compare the actual toptube length of your current bike and compare it with the Noah (Fast) instead of using the "reach" number in the geometry chart. For a detailed bike fit, we advice to contact your local dealer.
The maximum torque to fix the seatpost clamp is 10Nm, like mentionned on the clamp
The frame uses a 1 1/8" upper bearing (IS42/28.6 45°/45°) and 1 1/2" lower bearing (IS52/40 45°/45°)
