The Ridley Falcn RS sits in the gap between the Belgian brand’s aero Noah Fast and superlight Helium SLX models. The idea, says Ridley, is that riders now don’t have to choose between an aero bike or a climbing bike, and can instead have a versatile race machine.
Ridley says the Falcn RS is a mere 110g heavier than the Helium SLX, despite providing ‘similar’ aerodynamic performance to the Noah Fast, with the aero bike only measurably faster above 50kmh. As a result, the manufacturer claims the Falcn RS is the most aero sub-850g frame on the market.
