Ridley X-Fire (2014)

The 2014 Ridley X-Fire is a mid-range cyclocross bike. Its carbon frameset is available in Ridley's black-white-blue, a gorgeous looker once the mud is washed off. Performance is top-notch too: components include a pair of very reliable Hayes disc brakes, Shimano 105 gearing, and a light, tough Alex wheelset clad in fast rolling Challenge 'cross treads, shedding mud easily and offering plenty of bite. The frameset incorporates Ridley's newly redesigned fork, offering unparalleled lateral stiffness and a very responsive ride.
A very good cyclocross bike.
