Kanzo Adventure Rival1 Gravel Bike

From the dirt path down the street to a multiple-day bikepacking journey, the Ridley Kanzo Adventure Rival 1 Gravel Bike is an absolute dream for those seeking endless off-road adventures on rougher terrain. The Ridley Elite carbon construction offers lightweight durability to provide the classic cycling feel we know and love, while the wide variety of mounting space lets us fully personalize our bike with our ideal setup for our bikepacking trips. Using Kanzo Optimized Geometry, the Kanzo Adventure is fine-tuned with a progressive gravel geometry, featuring a slacker head tube angle, allowing for a longer wheelbase to give us more confidence and control on challenging terrain. To keep things fast and responsive, a shorter stem is used to help us conquer mountain passes, singletracks, and tight technical sections alike.

This specific Kanzo Adventure is spec'd with the SRAM Rival 1 groupset, offering a smooth ride with precise shifting, crisp stops, and comfortable controls. This 1x11-speed gravel setup features an 11-42T cassette and a 42T chainring, giving us the gearing necessary to conquer any terrain without overthinking what big ring to be in. The tire clearance of 29 x 2.1in or 700c x 54mm allows for use with mountain bike tires, allowing us to ride trails we could only previously access with a full mountain bike setup or stick with classic gravel tires to keep us rolling fast on smoother trails.
