A Road Bike That Allows Busy Adults to Travel in a Single Day! Introducing the RIDLEY Falcn
I want to go on a 1-day, 2-day, or 3-day cycling trip, freely and at my own pace!
However, for busy adults, the reality is that it's difficult to find that much time due to family or work commitments.
But if you don't want to give up on traveling! If you want to see many different landscapes! Then a road bike is for you.
They are light, fast, and can take you far. Therefore, you can visit many places even in a short amount of time.
If you're looking for a cycling trip where you can encounter various sceneries in a single day, or even a limited time, a road bike is perfectly suited for that.
Now, the "RIDLEY Falcn" available at Grumpy is also a great choice for enjoying a quick ride.
The RIDLEY Falcn is one of the "all-round performance road" bikes.
The Falcn is a model that can handle all situations: climbing, descending, flat terrain, long rides, and races. It's designed for balanced performance rather than specializing in one area.
In simple terms, it's a versatile road bike that can do a bit of everything, making it perfect for "greedy people who want to race and also enjoy long rides."
It's ideal for those who might enter a race someday, or might get hooked on long rides, or for those whose road bike usage isn't yet clearly defined.
The Falcn is a model that uses the design of the high-end "Falcn RS (Falcon RS)" used by pros, but with a significantly lower price point.
While its appearance is very similar to the Falcn RS, by slightly changing the carbon material used, it maintains its performance while being a bit more budget-friendly.
Each part of the frame is streamlined to reduce air resistance.
The Falcn has a maximum tire clearance of 34mm.
Recently, rim widths have been increasing, which can sometimes cause interference between the rim and frame depending on the shape. However, with its wide clearance, the Falcn has no such problems.
The photos show the Falcn frame/fork set up with wheels (ENVE SES 4.5) and tires (Panaracer Agilist 700x28c).
The seatpost is a 27.2mm round type.
While many road bikes are moving towards proprietary designs, this one offers versatility, allowing you to choose your preferred seatpost.
The rear derailleur adopts UDH! It's also highly compatible with SRAM's latest components.
A one-piece handlebar is also included.
The handlebar has an aero shape with a flat top, making it easy to grip. While it certainly reduces air resistance, the wide surface area for resting your hands also makes long rides more comfortable.
Looking from the side, you can see how thin it is.
By the way, the red hose coming out of the handlebar is removed during assembly.
In addition, various small parts such as a headset, anchor, spacers, and mounts are included as accessories other than the frame.
Looking at just the frame, it feels like a pretty good deal.
