Ridley Noah Fast Ultegra Di2 DT Swiss ARC 1400 Dicut 65 – Pure Aero Race Performance

At PAU Run & Ride in Trentham, Staffordshire, we’re cyclists ourselves, so we understand that the best bikes aren’t just about numbers and components — they’re about how they feel when you’re riding them.

The Ridley Noah Fast 3.0 is built for riders who want maximum aerodynamic performance without compromising the handling and efficiency needed for real racing. Developed with feedback from Uno-X Mobility, Ridley’s latest aero platform combines an aerodynamic carbon frame, integrated cockpit and progressive race geometry to create a bike built for speed.

This premium build pairs the Noah Fast carbon frame with a Shimano Ultegra Di2 2x12 groupset and deep-section DT Swiss ARC 1400 Dicut 65mm wheels, creating a complete race-ready package designed to cut through the air and maintain speed.

Come and see us in store and we’ll talk through how you ride, where you ride and what you want from your next bike.

Your bike will be professionally fitted by Andy Gray, our IBFI-certified bike fitter with over 20 years’ experience in the cycling industry, ensuring your position and setup are dialled in from day one.

Every bike includes 30 days FREE Bikmo insurance.

Introducing The Ridley Noah Fast 3.0

The Noah Fast is Ridley’s flagship aero road platform, now in its third generation.

Built on a legacy of Tour stage victories from riders including Robbie McEwen, André Greipel and Caleb Ewan, the latest Noah Fast has been developed around one goal: reducing aerodynamic drag and maximising efficiency.

Ridley claims the new Noah Fast is 8.5 watts faster than its predecessor at 50km/h, while the entire bike has been developed as a complete aerodynamic system rather than simply focusing on the frame.

The result is a race bike designed to stay fast when the pace rises, from flat-out efforts and breakaways to high-speed bunch racing and long, fast days in the saddle.

KEY RIDLEY TECHNOLOGY

AERODYNAMIC CARBON FRAME

The Noah Fast uses long, narrow aerodynamic tube profiles developed around the latest UCI regulations.

Ridley has taken advantage of the updated 8:1 tube profile rule to optimise airflow across the frame, fork and seat stays, reducing drag while maintaining the stiffness and handling required for high-level racing.

NIMBUS AERO COCKPIT

The integrated Nimbus Aero cockpit brings the front end of the bike together into one aerodynamic package.

The 360mm-wide tops and flared 400mm drops reflect modern racing preferences, while the ergonomic backsweep and aero positioning of the shifters provide multiple fast, efficient hand positions.

Integration also reduces exposed cables and creates a clean, streamlined front end.

PROGRESSIVE RACING GEOMETRY

The Noah Fast features geometry developed specifically around aggressive racing positions.

A steeper seat angle helps create a more open hip angle for efficient power transfer, while the lowered bottom bracket accommodates modern wider tyres.

Combined with the low head tube and integrated cockpit, the result is a more aerodynamic riding position with a reduced frontal area.

HOLISTIC AERODYNAMICS

Ridley has developed the Noah Fast as a complete performance system.

Aerodynamic testing considers the bike as it is actually ridden, including wheels, tyres, bottles and bike computer, while simulations are performed across different wind angles.

This approach is designed to deliver meaningful aerodynamic performance outside the laboratory, where real-world conditions constantly change.

34MM TYRE CLEARANCE

Despite its aerodynamic focus, the Noah Fast offers clearance for tyres up to 34mm.

That means you can run wider modern road tyres for additional grip, comfort and control, while retaining the speed-focused character of the bike.

TESTED WITH UNO-X MOBILITY

The Noah Fast has been developed in consultation with professional riders from Uno-X Mobility.

Their feedback has helped Ridley refine the frame, geometry and cockpit around the demands of professional racing.

The result is a bike tested and approved at the highest level of the sport.

DT SWISS ARC 1400 DICUT 65 WHEELS

This build is equipped with DT Swiss ARC 1400 Dicut wheels featuring deep 65mm rims.

Designed with aerodynamic performance in mind, the deep-section carbon wheels complement the Noah Fast frame to create a fast, cohesive aero package.

The wheelset is paired with Continental performance tyres, giving the bike the speed and efficiency expected from a high-end race build.

SHIMANO ULTEGRA DI2 2X12

Electronic Shimano Ultegra Di2 provides fast, precise shifting across the 2x12 drivetrain.

The 52/36 chainset is paired with an 11–30 cassette, giving you the high-end gearing needed for fast road riding while retaining enough range for climbs.

Hydraulic disc brakes provide confident braking and control when speeds increase.

BUILT FOR FAST ROADS AND RACING

The Noah Fast is designed for riders who want to make every watt count.

From fast Staffordshire roads and Peak District descents to closed-road racing and long, high-speed training rides, this is a bike that rewards riders who like to push the pace.

The aerodynamic frame, integrated cockpit and 65mm wheels come together particularly well on fast, exposed roads where maintaining speed matters most.

This is Ridley’s aero race bike for riders who want to go faster.
