A healthy increase from the current Kanzo&#8217;s 42mm number, and more than the Ridley Astr RS&#8217;s 52mm. The frame itself is also said to be 150 grams lighter than the previous Kanzo Fast.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Big tyre clearance is a must right now for new gravel race bikes being launched, and Ridley certainly seems on board with that thinking. The 58mm number is a little curious; a lot of bikes have 57mm clearance now. That extra 1mm isn&#8217;t really going to open up any new tyre options, but it should give a little more clearance with big tyres fitted, and of course a wide range of options, both big and small, are available to a rider with this kind of clearance. It is also the largest we can see on the market currently, beating the likes of the Allied Able and Lauf Seigla by a single milimetre.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-eb560c7c-a155-11f1-83f0-838e5c294ee0\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/TexxuyJKFDJ8anuf9dFgCj-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/TexxuyJKFDJ8anuf9dFgCj-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/TexxuyJKFDJ8anuf9dFgCj-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/TexxuyJKFDJ8anuf9dFgCj-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/TexxuyJKFDJ8anuf9dFgCj-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/TexxuyJKFDJ8anuf9dFgCj-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">The bike is 1x and electronic only. <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Ridley)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-a20e574a-a155-11f1-87eb-0d23a9bb698f\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">That 58mm clearance drew my eye; it feels a little unusual.

As is often the case, it&#8217;s hard for a brand to package up comprehensive aero testing into a compact press release, but we have some numbers, and some claims.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The new Kanzo is said to be 2 watts faster than its predecessor in bike-only testing and 13 watts faster in bike and rider testing. The testing setup included identical wheels and 38mm Vittoria Terreno Dry tyres. The bikes had two bottle cages and bottles fitted.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Ridley claims a 38mm tyre created 6 less watts aero drag than a 55mm tyre. That&#8217;s with Vittoria tyres fitted to the 4ZA Skiron wheels. However, the brand acknowledges that the rolling resistance reduction on rough ground will offset the aero loss. We came to the same conclusion in our CN Labs tyre testing.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Tunnel results come from a weighted average over a -12 to 12 degree yaw sweep with a rider on, and a -18 to 18 yaw sweep for the bike only testing. All of the Ridley testing was conducted at 36km\/h, which is generally regarded as being in line with gravel race speeds.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-29b0c660-a156-11f1-8622-0daf7a74a4eb\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CxrkmiifSeomNiwAN2Hbj8-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CxrkmiifSeomNiwAN2Hbj8-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CxrkmiifSeomNiwAN2Hbj8-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CxrkmiifSeomNiwAN2Hbj8-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CxrkmiifSeomNiwAN2Hbj8-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CxrkmiifSeomNiwAN2Hbj8-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Another agressive gravel race bike has entered the market. <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Ridley)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"frame-details-and-features-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Frame details and features <\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-2a96946a-a151-11f1-9923-51aca4cff2c5\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The Kanzo Fast 2.0 has internal frame storage in the downtube; two padded pouches will allow riders to store the essentials.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">There are also a pair of top tube mount points for riders to mount a top tube bag.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The frame is designed around 1x electronic groupsets and can accommodate up to a 56-tooth chainring, which in part facilitates the generous tyre clearance.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Mudguards can also be fitted to the bike; a bespoke mudguard system has been designed with Belgian brand Curana.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The Nimbus Pro cockpit sounds like it will only come in one size, with a 36cm width at the tops, widening to a 40cm size at the drops.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The 1350-gram Forza Skiron RS wheels which the full bike builds come with feature 50mm deep rims, with a 27mm internal width hookless rim.

Despite having a degree in English Literature he has spent his entire working life in the cycling industry in one form or another. He has over 10 years of experience as a qualified mechanic, with the last five years before joining Cyclingnews being spent running an independent workshop. This means he is just as happy tinkering away in the garage as he is out on the road bike, and he isn\u2019t afraid to pull a bike apart or get hands-on with it when testing to really see what it\u2019s made of.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>He has ridden and raced bikes from an early age up to a national level on the road and track, and has ridden and competed in most disciplines. He has a keen eye for pro-team tech and enjoys spotting new or interesting components in the wild. During his time at Cyclingnews, Tom has already interviewed some of the sport&#8217;s biggest names including Mathieu van der Poel, Tadej Poga\u010dar and Alberto Contador. He&#8217;s also covered various launches from brands such as Pinarello, Ridley, Specialized and more, tackled the Roubaix Challenge sportive aboard his own rim-brake Cannondale SuperSix Evo, tested over 20 aero helmets in the wind tunnel, and has created helpful in-depth buying advice relating to countless categories from torque wrenches to winter

A healthy increase from the current Kanzo&#8217;s 42mm number, and more than the Ridley Astr RS&#8217;s 52mm. The frame itself is also said to be 150 grams lighter than the previous Kanzo Fast.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Big tyre clearance is a must right now for new gravel race bikes being launched, and Ridley certainly seems on board with that thinking. The 58mm number is a little curious; a lot of bikes have 57mm clearance now. That extra 1mm isn&#8217;t really going to open up any new tyre options, but it should give a little more clearance with big tyres fitted, and of course a wide range of options, both big and small, are available to a rider with this kind of clearance. It is also the largest we can see on the market currently, beating the likes of the Allied Able and Lauf Seigla by a single milimetre.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-eb560c7c-a155-11f1-83f0-838e5c294ee0\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/TexxuyJKFDJ8anuf9dFgCj-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/TexxuyJKFDJ8anuf9dFgCj-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/TexxuyJKFDJ8anuf9dFgCj-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/TexxuyJKFDJ8anuf9dFgCj-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/TexxuyJKFDJ8anuf9dFgCj-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/TexxuyJKFDJ8anuf9dFgCj-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">The bike is 1x and electronic only. <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Ridley)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-a20e574a-a155-11f1-87eb-0d23a9bb698f\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">That 58mm clearance drew my eye; it feels a little unusual.

As is often the case, it&#8217;s hard for a brand to package up comprehensive aero testing into a compact press release, but we have some numbers, and some claims.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The new Kanzo is said to be 2 watts faster than its predecessor in bike-only testing and 13 watts faster in bike and rider testing. The testing setup included identical wheels and 38mm Vittoria Terreno Dry tyres. The bikes had two bottle cages and bottles fitted.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Ridley claims a 38mm tyre created 6 less watts aero drag than a 55mm tyre. That&#8217;s with Vittoria tyres fitted to the 4ZA Skiron wheels. However, the brand acknowledges that the rolling resistance reduction on rough ground will offset the aero loss. We came to the same conclusion in our CN Labs tyre testing.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Tunnel results come from a weighted average over a -12 to 12 degree yaw sweep with a rider on, and a -18 to 18 yaw sweep for the bike only testing. All of the Ridley testing was conducted at 36km\/h, which is generally regarded as being in line with gravel race speeds.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-29b0c660-a156-11f1-8622-0daf7a74a4eb\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CxrkmiifSeomNiwAN2Hbj8-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CxrkmiifSeomNiwAN2Hbj8-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CxrkmiifSeomNiwAN2Hbj8-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CxrkmiifSeomNiwAN2Hbj8-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CxrkmiifSeomNiwAN2Hbj8-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CxrkmiifSeomNiwAN2Hbj8-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Another agressive gravel race bike has entered the market. <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Ridley)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"frame-details-and-features-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Frame details and features <\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-2a96946a-a151-11f1-9923-51aca4cff2c5\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The Kanzo Fast 2.0 has internal frame storage in the downtube; two padded pouches will allow riders to store the essentials.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">There are also a pair of top tube mount points for riders to mount a top tube bag.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The frame is designed around 1x electronic groupsets and can accommodate up to a 56-tooth chainring, which in part facilitates the generous tyre clearance.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Mudguards can also be fitted to the bike; a bespoke mudguard system has been designed with Belgian brand Curana.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The Nimbus Pro cockpit sounds like it will only come in one size, with a 36cm width at the tops, widening to a 40cm size at the drops.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The 1350-gram Forza Skiron RS wheels which the full bike builds come with feature 50mm deep rims, with a 27mm internal width hookless rim.

Despite having a degree in English Literature he has spent his entire working life in the cycling industry in one form or another. He has over 10 years of experience as a qualified mechanic, with the last five years before joining Cyclingnews being spent running an independent workshop. This means he is just as happy tinkering away in the garage as he is out on the road bike, and he isn\u2019t afraid to pull a bike apart or get hands-on with it when testing to really see what it\u2019s made of.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>He has ridden and raced bikes from an early age up to a national level on the road and track, and has ridden and competed in most disciplines. He has a keen eye for pro-team tech and enjoys spotting new or interesting components in the wild. During his time at Cyclingnews, Tom has already interviewed some of the sport&#8217;s biggest names including Mathieu van der Poel, Tadej Poga\u010dar and Alberto Contador. He&#8217;s also covered various launches from brands such as Pinarello, Ridley, Specialized and more, tackled the Roubaix Challenge sportive aboard his own rim-brake Cannondale SuperSix Evo, tested over 20 aero helmets in the wind tunnel, and has created helpful in-depth buying advice relating to countless categories from torque wrenches to winter

A healthy increase from the current Kanzo&#8217;s 42mm number, and more than the Ridley Astr RS&#8217;s 52mm. The frame itself is also said to be 150 grams lighter than the previous Kanzo Fast.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Big tyre clearance is a must right now for new gravel race bikes being launched, and Ridley certainly seems on board with that thinking. The 58mm number is a little curious; a lot of bikes have 57mm clearance now. That extra 1mm isn&#8217;t really going to open up any new tyre options, but it should give a little more clearance with big tyres fitted, and of course a wide range of options, both big and small, are available to a rider with this kind of clearance. It is also the largest we can see on the market currently, beating the likes of the Allied Able and Lauf Seigla by a single milimetre.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-eb560c7c-a155-11f1-83f0-838e5c294ee0\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/TexxuyJKFDJ8anuf9dFgCj-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/TexxuyJKFDJ8anuf9dFgCj-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/TexxuyJKFDJ8anuf9dFgCj-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/TexxuyJKFDJ8anuf9dFgCj-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/TexxuyJKFDJ8anuf9dFgCj-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/TexxuyJKFDJ8anuf9dFgCj-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">The bike is 1x and electronic only. <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Ridley)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-a20e574a-a155-11f1-87eb-0d23a9bb698f\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">That 58mm clearance drew my eye; it feels a little unusual.

As is often the case, it&#8217;s hard for a brand to package up comprehensive aero testing into a compact press release, but we have some numbers, and some claims.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The new Kanzo is said to be 2 watts faster than its predecessor in bike-only testing and 13 watts faster in bike and rider testing. The testing setup included identical wheels and 38mm Vittoria Terreno Dry tyres. The bikes had two bottle cages and bottles fitted.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Ridley claims a 38mm tyre created 6 less watts aero drag than a 55mm tyre. That&#8217;s with Vittoria tyres fitted to the 4ZA Skiron wheels. However, the brand acknowledges that the rolling resistance reduction on rough ground will offset the aero loss. We came to the same conclusion in our CN Labs tyre testing.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Tunnel results come from a weighted average over a -12 to 12 degree yaw sweep with a rider on, and a -18 to 18 yaw sweep for the bike only testing. All of the Ridley testing was conducted at 36km\/h, which is generally regarded as being in line with gravel race speeds.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-29b0c660-a156-11f1-8622-0daf7a74a4eb\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CxrkmiifSeomNiwAN2Hbj8-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CxrkmiifSeomNiwAN2Hbj8-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CxrkmiifSeomNiwAN2Hbj8-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CxrkmiifSeomNiwAN2Hbj8-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CxrkmiifSeomNiwAN2Hbj8-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CxrkmiifSeomNiwAN2Hbj8-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Another agressive gravel race bike has entered the market. <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Ridley)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"frame-details-and-features-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Frame details and features <\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-2a96946a-a151-11f1-9923-51aca4cff2c5\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The Kanzo Fast 2.0 has internal frame storage in the downtube; two padded pouches will allow riders to store the essentials.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">There are also a pair of top tube mount points for riders to mount a top tube bag.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The frame is designed around 1x electronic groupsets and can accommodate up to a 56-tooth chainring, which in part facilitates the generous tyre clearance.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Mudguards can also be fitted to the bike; a bespoke mudguard system has been designed with Belgian brand Curana.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The Nimbus Pro cockpit sounds like it will only come in one size, with a 36cm width at the tops, widening to a 40cm size at the drops.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The 1350-gram Forza Skiron RS wheels which the full bike builds come with feature 50mm deep rims, with a 27mm internal width hookless rim.
