Ridley Ignite C 9.3 (2016)

The 2016 Ridley Ignite C 9.3 is a mid-range cross-country mountain bike. Rolling on big 29er wheels from DT Swiss paired with Continental's X-King tires, the Ignite conquers obstacles with ease and flies down the open track. Gearing is SRAM's single-ring GX; the extra space on the bar is taken up with the remote lockout lever for the Rockshox fork. The Reba fork is mounted on an all-carbon frame, offering a congenial blend of stiff responsiveness and bump-eating cushion for a very fast, tolerant ride.
A very good cross-country hardtail.
