The 2024-25 Ridley X-Night RS 'cross race bike gets stealth routing, aero shapes, and a sleeker design to shed mud better than ever.
Click to email a link to a friend A brand-new, dedicated cyclocross bike is a rare site these days, but if anyone’s going to launch one it’s Belgian brand Ridley. And they have.
The front of the bike gets a deeper head tube with aero shapes inspired by their FALCN RS road bike. Further back, the D-shaped seatpost cuts a bit more drag, but more importantly prevents the saddle from twisting if you wreck. The BB area has smoother transitions into the seat tube and chainstays, eliminating spots for mud buildup to stick. And they gave it more mud clearance around the rear tire.The top tube remains straight with a flattened belly for easier shouldering. And while you’re not likely to use them much during a race, they added more bottle cage mounting points for long training sessions in the heat of the summer. Summer? Yes, because remember, always, ‘cross is coming.
