- Now do it again and again and yet again.
- This is cyclocross and these courses in Flanders showcase the hardest of the hard in a region where over 6000 cycling clubs (yes you read that correctly) routinely ride the rainy cobbled non-category climbs on snow and ice -- this is Belgium -- this is the home of Ridley Bicycles.
- Ridley Bikes has seven World Championship cyclocross titles to its name.
- Not one to rest on its laurels Ridley is gunning for number 8 in Hoogerheide Nederlands 2014.
- To this end it took the already drooled-over X-Night and gave it a complete overhaul.
- Although the second-in-command Ridley X-Fire was available in a disc-version last season Ridley patiently waited to release a disc-compatible X-Night until hydraulic road/cyclocross brakes were within reach.
- Hydraulic brakes provide more braking power and better modulation under harsh conditions -- the perfect match for the X-Night and the hardmen who race it.
- So when SRAM introduced its Red 22 Hydro group Ridley pounced.
- They did not however just paste SRAM's new group onto the existing X-Night frame -- they developed a frame specifically for it.
- To begin Ridley looked at ways to improve upon a frame already drowning in rainbow jerseys .
- But improving wasn't enough.
- It designed something new.
- While the previous model was based off of the Damocles road frame the new model was designed using the lighter Helium SL frame as inspiration.
- It was constructed using 24-ton high modulus carbon fiber.
- This means that the material is able to withstand 24 tons of pressure per square inch.
- Seem like overkill even for a cyclocross race? Ridley knows that using a stronger carbon fiber means that tubing can be smaller and stronger at the same time.
- This enabled Ridley to make sever.
