About Falcn
The Falcn Essential builds on the success of this Falcn RS.The performance geometry and tyre clearance of 34 millimetres are identical, and the diffuser fork crown and universal derailleur hanger (UDH) are also retained.
This geometry was carefully designed by Ridley’s product developers with a focus on speed, stability and responsiveness. The head tube length is shorter than that of the Noah Fast and Helium SLX, providing a more aggressive riding position. The bottom bracket is located lower because it has been adapted to the ability to ride with thicker tyres. so the rider maintains excellent control.
The points of difference are in the round seatpost on the Falcn Essential (versus a D-shaped seatpost on the Falcn RS) and the carbon composition. Nevertheless, the frame of the Falcn Essential still weighs only 990 grams.
The ultimate all-round performance-oriented bike
The Falcn is the ultimate all-round performance-oriented racing bike that offers a perfect balance between lightweight and aerodynamic design. It is the ideal bike for riders who demand the best from themselves and their equipment thanks to its lightweight frame, aerodynamic features, race geometry, and reactive handling. Cobbles, steep climbs, and fast races: this bike can handle it all.
Aero-To-Weight
The focus in the road bike market used to be on stiffness versus weight, but has recently shifted to the balance between aero and weight. Ridley decided to combine the best of both worlds with the Falcn, meaning it has been made as aerodynamic as possible without sacrificing the bike’s weight. The Falcn has a similar aero performance to the Noah Fast and weighs just 990g (in size Medium), meaning cyclists no longer have to choose between lightweight and aero.
Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH)
The universal derailleur hanger (UDH) is the new standard in the cycling world. Not only is this derailleur hanger compatible with all modern shifting groups, it also protects against derailleur breakage and chain drops. In mountain biking, UDH has long been very common, and Ridley is bringing the technology to other segments as well.
Removable front derailleur clamp
Our innovative removable front derailleur clamp ensures a sleek, streamlined appearance when using a 1x setup. In collaboration with Wolf Tooth, we’ve developed a custom chainguide and chain catcher perfectly tailored to fit our frames. To maintain a clean and polished look, we’ve also designed a specialized cover to seamlessly replace the clamp when it’s not in use.
Dealer Service
Belgian quality, local service, international prestige. That’s Ridley. We provide you with only the best possible service. That’s why we work very closely with local dealers, each an expert near you.
Diffuser fork crown
The fork crown has an integrated diffuser to reduce drag. The airflow passes more easily through fork crown while extra energy is added to it. The result is that the airflow passes the downtube more easily without pushing the bike back. At the same time there is less drag in the area behind the fork and headtube.
Less resistance, more speed!
