The Ignite GTX combines the technical advantages of a mountain bike with the aerodynamics of drop bars, making it the perfect racing machine for the most challenging terrain.
This “monster gravel bike” features pure mountain bike geometry, with a flatter head angle for extra stability. Our product developers added flex stays for added comfort. Ridley complements this 100% mountain bike geometry with clearance for knobby tires (29 x 2.3).
To this, we added the Venturemax handlebar. This is a Ritchey handlebar with significant flare (24°) and a short drop. The combination of an aerodynamic position on this handlebar and the stability provided by the wide drops ensures optimal stability. Moreover, it offers more hand placement options, and from the drops, you can both accelerate powerfully and lower your center of gravity.
You can view this monster gravel bike from two perspectives: it either enhances the capabilities of a gravel bike or makes a mountain bike universally suitable by adding a drop bar.
