Ridley X-Fire (2011)

The 2011 Ridley X-Fire is a mid-range cyclocross bike. Built on a responsive carbon fiber frameset, the X-Fire is designed from the ground up for 'cross, with an ovalized top tube for portaging, high bottom bracket, and excellent mud clearance. Fulcrum Racing wheels are clad in Chalenge Griffo Pros, slender with a high-traction tread, delivering fast-rolling confidence. The Tektro cantilevers are reliable in the most arduous conditions, as is the SRAM Rival drivetrain. Top-tube cable routing keeps shifting clean.
A good cyclocross bike.
