Ridley

Put simply, the Dean is among the very fastest tri bikes on the planet. Ridley’s F-technologies create the distinct, sculpted, wind-cheating designs that can save competitors up to two minutes when riding 112 miles across the wind-swept Kona course. This is achieved partly via careful molded-in F-surface technology and all-internal cable routing – both of which create some of the cleanest laminar flows on any tri bike available, particularly in real-world riding situations.

Ridley supports women’s competitive cycling. Not just for the promotional opportunities it presents, but also because of the valuable feedback these athletes provide to make the product better. We combine this input with the research of experts in bike fitting and ergonomics to establish the best, most natural position for a woman on a bike. At a first glance the geometry of a women’s bike does not appear to be very different from a man’s bike. But the devil is in the details, details incorporated in every Liz bicycle.

The super–svelte Noah SL weighs a scant 950g, yet boasts all of Ridley’s wind-cheating F-technology without sacrificing ride comfort. It’s the weapon of choice for our Lotto Soudal riders, boasting new resin technologies and innovative layups that create explosive power transfer at minimal weight. The Noah SL also relies upon F-surface technology that’s molded into the tubeset for permanent, uncompromising performance. In the hands of a powerful sprinter like Greipel, the Noah SL has become a new pro-Tour standard in the peloton and a regular visitor of the podium.

Fenix-quality ride comfort but in geometry that grabs victory for female riders. Nevertheless the design is equally suited for leisurely century rides as well as weekend warriors. The leading edge of the Liz downtube resists impact strikes on long gravel rides, and the vibration-damping carbon technology and layup schedule promises comfort during long days in the saddle, as does the upright ride position. A tapered headtube an unobtrusive internal cable routing delivers a clean appearance and improved performance.

The Helium is everything you don’t see. No remarkable shapes and extra’s, but just an excellent bike that does what it needs to do. It combines lightness with comfort while its shape goes way back, making it a no-nonsense classic beauty. Because we all know that less is more.
