Ridley
Ignite GTX
Info
Combining the technical advantages of a mountain bike with the aerodynamics of drop bars, the Ignite GTX is the perfect racing machine for the most demanding terrain. This "monster gravel bike" has the geometry of a pure mountain bike, with a flatter head angle for increased stability. The developers added flexible rear stays for greater comfort. Ridley complements this 100% mountain bike geometry with space for thicker tires (29 x 2.3"). They also added Venturemax handlebars. These are Ritchey handlebars with a pronounced bend (24°) and a short drop. The combination of a more aerodynamic position on these handlebars and stability in wide drops ensures optimal stability. In addition, they provide more options for hand placement, and from the drops you can not only accelerate strongly, but also lower your center of gravity.
Technology
FAST OF THE DROPBARS
The Ignite GTX combines the advantages of a mountain bike with the aerodynamics of a drop bar. Ritchey Venturemax handlebars with a pronounced bend (24°) and short drop ensure excellent stability and more grip. They offer an aerodynamic position, better handling, and the possibility of effective acceleration and a lower center of gravity.
CLEAN MTB GEOMETRY
The geometry of this "Alpine gravel bike" is based on the Ignite SLX, our XC hardtail. It therefore offers pure MTB geometry with a slacker head angle for greater stability. The developers have added flexible rear stays for improved comfort, and the frame is ready for wide tires with a coarse tread (29 x 2.3).
WIDE TIRE CLEARENCE
The Ignite GTX can accommodate tires up to 29 x 2.3. This geometry allows you to use wider tires with a more pronounced tread pattern, which offers a number of advantages—lower rolling resistance, greater comfort, and a lower risk of punctures.
ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION FORK
The Ignite GTX is available with either a 100 mm suspension fork or a rigid carbon fork. The suspension version offers better performance on technical terrain and makes it easier to ride over rocks and other obstacles.
