The Ridley Noah is a technological masterpiece. The Noah platform was originally developed as the ultimate sprint bike for top sprinters from different generations within the Lotto team. However, the Noah has also gained additional all-round qualities. You no longer see them appearing solely in sprints; they even shine on the cobbles around Roubaix.

A Noah is world-class in aerodynamics thanks to hours of wind tunnel testing. Cables are cleverly integrated into the handlebars. Every tube, from the front fork to the rear triangle, has an optimised NACA profile. Yet the Noah is a lightweight road bike that is surprisingly comfortable. For instance, it features a lowered rear triangle with a specific tube shape. Together with the seatpost, this ensures a more comfortable ride.

The bike is fitted with a 34-tooth mountain gear and features a DT Swiss P1800 wheelset. It is also equipped with bottle cages, a pump, a spare inner tube and tyre levers.
