Ridley Noah SL 10 (2016)

The 2016 Ridley Noah SL 10 is a high-end aero road bike. Departing slightly from the Noah Fast's all-out design, the SL incorporates more easily maintained traditional calipers and a non-integrated aero seatpost, with a frame design thoughtfully adjusted to match. Seatstays meet the seat tube several centimeters below the top tube; combined with the wheel cutout, the rear triangle is exceptionally stiff and efficient, with turbulence hewing to the minimum. Materials, layout, angles and tube profiles all echo the top-of-the-line Noah Fast in a much more affordable package. Kit is top-drawer throughout, from the 4ZA Cirrus cockpit and wheelset and Continental Grand Prix tires to the ace SRAM Red 22 group, providing quick, clean shifts and precise braking control.
A very good aero road bike.
