Ridley Kanzo Adventure

Always this

Went out for a test ride but illness just made it very unpleasant to be honest.

It's surprisingly fast on the road. The pirelli cinturato H tyres are going to take some getting used to, they basically handle like a slick in the wet.

Dropped the bars straight away. It was too upright for me initially. Not sure how I feel about the rival hydro hoods, I don't find them that comfortable, but maybe i just need to play around with position on the bars.

Reckon Il go with a shorter stem, it's got a 120mm on there at the mo as it's what I had in the parts bin. 100/105 mm will speed up the handling nicely.

I reckon I'm going to really like it. It's a mile muncher for sure and once I'm used to the handling, it will be a hoot on the trails.

How was the sizing on this? Size down or keep your reg.?

I'm just shy of 5 10 and went for a small. It's a big bike

I wasnt wild about rival hoods at first but I have got used to them. Mine are now very slightly turned in and I moved up or down to give a smoother bar top transition.
Nice bike!

That pretty much exactly what I've done. Feel way better turned in. Going to get some 42cm zipp xplr bars for it. Narrow with a bit of flare and short drop

For sale if anyone is interested. I don't need two gravel bikes.
