Does Ridley_Bikes' new Grifn all-road bike really put an end to N+1? Is that even possible? Take a look and let us know what you think cycling
Ridley has introduced a new all-road bike called the Grifn with the claim that it puts an end to N+1, the concept that the correct number of bikes to own is whatever you currently have plus one more. Ridley’s suggestion of course implies that its new model is supremely versatile, which is a claim made by countless brands in the past, so let’s look at the evidence.Ridley has had all-road bikes – sometimes called road plus or gravel light bikes – in the past, starting with the X-trail in 2015.
“Ridley’s R&D department made sure the bike is reactive and nimble while providing enough stability and control for off-road riding. The 420mm chainstays play a crucial role in this part of the ride feel. The result is a fast, reactive yet stable and well-balanced all-road bike.” The bike is equipped with numerous mounting points that allow you to carry enough stuff for all day or even multiple days in the saddle. You get three mounting points on the seat tube, for example, three on the upper face of the down tube and another three on the underside for bottle cages or toolkits.
Up front, the Grifn features the new Cirrus Pro Flared cockpit which has a shorter than normal reach , a shallower than normal drop , and a 16° flare. Ridley reckons the cockpit, which comes in four different stem length and bar width configurations, offers a comfortable position and plenty of control on all terrains.Ridley also says that several practical features make the Grifn extra useful for longer-distance riders and commuters.
