About the Noah range
The Noah range incorporates years of experience in developing aerodynamic standards in the cycling industry. Synergies between experienced in-house R&D engineers and top sprinters in the pro peloton have led to industry-leading breakthroughs. Proven by world-class performances like Robbie McEwen’s Green Jersey win and André Greipel’s victories on the famous Champs-Elysées. The Noah has become a synonym to aerodynamic performances.

About the Noah
The Noah frame is built exactly like the Noah Disc Aero+, except a bit heavier due to an adjustment in carbon layup. It’s built using 30/24-ton high-modulus carbon fibres. This slight weight difference is offset by its lower price point. The Noah bike basically makes it easy to ride fast, slice through wind and hit those high average speeds without breaking the bank.

Technologies

F-Surface Plus
F-Surface Plus technology was created so you can convert the same watts into higher speeds. This technology is incorporated into the Noah and Dean models. It is the application of a textured surface (similar to grooves in a golf ball) in strategic locations for decreased wind drag. What these grooves do is create a tiny turbulence which causes the main flow of air to better follow the shape of the tube. With a smooth air travel around the frame, you’ll expertly cut through wind. The stronger the wind, the more you will feel this technology working for you.

Ridley Carbon
From the very beginning Ridley set extremely high standards for themselves. And it all starts with their choice of raw materials. They use only the best quality carbon available, sourced from Toray (the world’s leading carbon manufacturer, supplying mainly to the aerospace industry). The grades of high-modulus carbon Ridley use vary from the most pliable 24-ton, which gives the frame flex and comfort, to 60-ton which is the stiffest.

When developing their carbon products, Ridley strictly follow the principle of “form follows function”…down to the last detail. When creating a frame, they first analyse the exact function it needs to serve – how it will be used, how it needs to feel in every possible scenario. Next their engineers design the shape of the frame, taking extreme care of the exact curves, lines and varying thickness of each tube. Lastly is the carbon layup. Combining the grades of carbons to get the exact feel of the bike is like piecing together the most intricate 3-D jigsaw puzzle. It usually involves hundreds of pieces of carbon, assembled in a few dozen layers.

Once this puzzle is complete, what you have is a piece of machinery that is perfectly tuned for its task at hand. Every single one of Ridley's carbon bikes exemplifies this extreme attention to detail.

F-Tubing
F-Tubing is the droplet-shaped tubing which significantly minimizes wind drag. By shaping the tubes in such a way, airflow easily follows along the tubing. To further minimize tubing weight, hence increase speed per watt, Ridley blunt-cut the droplet shape just at the point where the airflow leaves the tubing. What this translates into is a drag differential of -4.03% at 50 km/h.
