| The Ridley X-fire Roubaix |
Ridley has been for four years the cycle partner of Silence-Lotto. Their collaboration with our riders and mechanics led
to the creation of new Ridley models, the Noah and Helium.
Ridley introduces a special bike for Paris-Roubaix, in exclusivity for Silence-Lotto, the result of their close collaboration
with our riders and mechanics.
Ridley is since the year 2000 active in the cross world. They have used the of this discipline for the realisation of the
X-fire Roubaix. The X-fire is the bike with which Niels Albert won this year's U23 World title.
