The Kanzo Fast 2.0 brings Ridley’s third-generation aero technology from the Noah Fast into the gravel segment. The frame’s aerodynamic development is specifically tuned to accommodate the larger tyre volumes required by modern gravel racing. Wider tyres typically create additional aerodynamic drag, but the optimised frame shapes are designed to offset this loss in aerodynamic efficiency. This allows the Kanzo Fast 2.0 to combine the performance benefits of wider tyres with the speed of a highly aerodynamic race bike. The result is a gravel platform that remains efficient even at high speeds.
The Kanzo Fast 2.0 offers clearance for tyres up to 58 mm, equivalent to a 29 × 2.3” MTB tyre. This gives gravel racers the freedom to adapt their tyre choice to the course, surface and conditions. High-volume tyres can provide tangible advantages on rough gravel, including increased traction, improved comfort and lower rolling resistance. Riders opting for narrower tyres also benefit from generous mud clearance, which can be particularly valuable in wet and technical races. Rather than being designed around a single tyre size, the Kanzo Fast 2.0 provides a race platform that can be adapted to the demands of every course.
BUILT FOR EVERY CONDITION
The Kanzo Fast 2.0 is designed for more than dry race days. Integrated top tube mounts allow riders to add a low-profile top tube bag, while compatibility with Ridley’s bespoke Curana mudguard system makes the bike suitable for winter training and wet-weather riding. Combined with its wide tyre clearance, the Kanzo Fast 2.0 can be adapted to a wide range of conditions without compromising its racing DNA.
Bike of the Year
The Ridley Kanzo Fast 2.0 was recognised by leading cycling platform BikeRadar and praised as a bike that “defines everything the modern gravel bike should be.” Its combination of speed, aerodynamics, control and versatility makes the Kanzo Fast 2.0 a gravel bike ready for any challenge. A modern gravel bike, recognised by one of the world’s leading cycling platforms.
RACE-READY SETUP
The Kanzo Fast 2.0 is built around a performance-focused setup, from the integrated Nimbus Pro cockpit to the Forza Skiron RS wheels and electronic 1x drivetrain. The bike comes standard with a dedicated Wolf Tooth chainguide for additional chain retention on rough terrain. With compatibility for chainrings up to 56T, riders can also tailor their gearing to fast gravel courses where maximum top-end speed matters.
