The Ridley Fenix SL Disc Tiagra 2x10 embodies accessible high-end endurance, combining a high-performance Essential Series carbon frame with a reliable Shimano Tiagra 4700 10-speed groupset. Designed to shine on all terrain—climbs, flats, descents, or demanding cobbles—this Belgian road bike offers the perfect versatility between power, stiffness, and luxury comfort for your long rides and Gran Fondo challenges.

Technical Summary

Heir to the legendary Fenix, this SL Disc model shares the DNA of the SLiC range while displaying an unbeatable price-performance positioning. The HM UD 30T-24T carbon frame (810 to 850 g depending on size) combines a diamond-shaped down tube for maximum stiffness and longevity, lowered and refined seatstays that increase vibration filtering, and a wide BB86 bottom bracket coupled with a rigid head tube for instant reactivity when pedaling and accelerating. The full carbon fork (340 g, 45 mm rake) completes the comfort-performance equation, with tire clearance up to 30 mm to adapt to all conditions.

Technical Highlights

• Optimized carbon architecture: Diamond down tube with reinforced edges, increasing impact resistance and torsional stiffness. 30T-24T HM (High Modulus) / UD (unidirectional) construction for an exceptional weight-to-stiffness ratio.
• Hydraulic disc braking: Flat Mount installation with rotors up to 160 mm, offering total control and perfect modulation in all circumstances (rain, descents, cobbles).
• Complete Shimano Tiagra 4700 groupset: 2x10-speed drivetrain (50-34T × 11-32T, gear ratios 28 to 119 inches), long-cage RD-4700 rear derailleur (41T capacity, 275 g weight, Teflon pivots, Wide Link design), ergonomic levers with adjustable reach—a standard of reliability and smoothness for entry/mid-range.
• Balanced endurance geometry: 73-73.5° angles (M), progressive stack/reach (XXS: 515/379 mm → XL: 600/403 mm), stable wheelbase (975-1019 mm), allowing long-distance comfort and acceleration precision.
• Versatile wheels and tires: Shimano RS170/RS171 Clincher DB with reliable hubs, Vittoria Zaffiro 700x25c tires—robust and efficient ensemble for training and amateur competition.

Ridley Philosophy and Classics Heritage

For over a decade, the Fenix has established itself as the reference endurance bike for tackling Belgian classics and their formidable cobbles. This SL Disc version in Essential Series carbon perpetuates this tradition: stiffness on the lower frame (head tube, down tube, chainstays) to convert every pedal stroke into speed, vibration filtering on the upper (top tube, seat tube, seatstays) to preserve your comfort even after hours in the saddle. The Fenix SL Disc excels on all types of roads—technical climbs, long flats, fast descents, cobbled sections—and is suited to both the occasional racer and the demanding sportive rider seeking performance, comfort, and value for money.
